WELLSVILLE — Money may not be able to buy happiness, but it sure can help on the football field.

Wellsville High’s Nash Money, a lightning-quick junior running back, made life tough for Humboldt High’s defense Friday, rushing for 216 yards and five touchdowns.

Meanwhile, the Cubs came up empty on a pair of long drives sandwiched around halftime.
