Quarterback Charlie Blessing connected with wide receiver Reid Wisniewski on an 8-yard touchdown pass with 23 seconds to give Walter Johnson a 20-14 win over Bethesda-Chevy Chase.
Blessing put together a strong performance despite committing two turnovers. He threw for two touchdowns, both to Wisniewski, and scored on a five-yard run in the first quarter.
Wide receiver Nick Zayas played a pivotal role in the Walter Johnson passing attack. Blessing hit Zayas on consecutive passes to put the Wildcats in scoring range on their final drive.
Bethesda-Chevy Chase’s Tamba Mbayo starred on offense and on defense. He was elusive with the ball in his hands and ripped off a few long gains on the ground, including an impressive 41-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. He also came away with an interception on the Wildcats’ opening drive.
Walter Johnson (5-1) will ride a three-game winning streak into next week’s game against Richard Montgomery (2-4).
Bethesda Chevy-Chase (2-4) will go on the road to take on Clarksburg (0-6) next week.
