Mellor nabs second TD score of the season

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The second game on the Loudoun County War Eagles' 2011 Grass Roots Youth Football League schedule may have resulted in a different outcome than the first, but one key component remained the same: Dylan Mellor still lives in the endzone.

Mellor (14) caught his second touchdown pass in as many games despite the War Eagles' first loss of the season to the league's top squad, Prince George's County. Mellor's five-yard scoring play in which he used motion from the slot to generate just enough room to make the catch proved to be the only offensive points for Loudon County.

The Orlando, Fla. native finished the day with four catches for 70 yards while adding 60 yards on three kick returns. Mellor also posted five tackles from the safety position.

Next up for the 5-foot-11 athlete and his teammates is a matchup with Baltimore County on June 4.

First game, first touchdown for Mellor

SEVERN, Md. -- Dylan Mellor's first official game after moving to Virgina from Orlando, Fla. couldn't have gone much better.

Sporting jersey No. 3 and starting at wide receiver, Mellor (age 14) posted the first touchdown of the season for the Loudoun County War Eagles in the team's season-opening win on May 21, 2011.

Mellor beat the defender off the line of scrimmage before running a go-route and hauling in what would be a 70-yard catch-and-run touchdown. He finished the day with two catches for 100 yards.
