Wellmaker a scoring threat 2 points at a time for Cajon

Cajon’s Tre Wellmaker, a transfer from Jurupa Hills, has found his way onto The Sun’s scoring Top 10 in an unusual route.
Wellmaker has scored only six touchdowns this season, but has 19 2-point conversions, as Cajon skips kicking extra points in favor of going for two and Wellmaker is the most likely recipient. All of his 2-point conversions are on runs.
Although on maxpreps.com, you can’t sort statistics by 2-point conversions, it does appear that Wellmaker leads the CIF Southern Section in successful 2-point conversions.
It’s hard to argue with coach Nick Rogers’ decision to go for two. The Cowboys are 24-of-32 on 2-point conversions this season, which is better than some teams have success on kicking extra points. And that conversion rate includes one miss in which Cajon took a knee on a conversion against Miller.

Cajon’s epic 2-point conversion fail

It meant nothing to the final outcome, but Cajon failed on a 2-point conversion on the final touchdown in last week’s 46-6 win over Miller and coach Nick Rogers says, “I can laugh about it now.”

Here’s the situation. Cajon goes for 2 after every touchdown because they don’t have a placekicker.
On this situation, the Cowboys tried a fade to the corner of the end zone, pass was completed, but offensive pass interference was called. Cajon went back to the same play and again, the pass was completed but offensive pass interference was called, butting the ball back to the 33 now. Rogers was visibly upset, and had to talk the officials out of getting an unsportsmanlike conduct call against him, which would have pushed the ball back to the 48. As it was, it was on the 33 and at that point, Rogers threw up his hands and ordered quarterback Jayden Daniels to take a knee.
I’ve never heard that happening before. I’ve seen a team taking a knee in the third quarter of a game. Teams take knees on kickoff returns or interception returns all the time. But on a two-point conversion? And that turned out to be the only conversion that Cajon failed on, in six touchdowns.
