Wolves beat Trojans

It was a case of David vs.

Goliath, only this time Goliath

won.

Parkers Chapel paid a visit to

Prescott Friday night and went

home smarting from a 62-13 drubbing

at the hands of the Curley

Wolves. This puts the Wolves at 6-

1 on the year and 4-0 in conference

play.

Prescott won the toss, elected

to receive and fumbled the opening

kick with the Trojans recovering

at the Wolf 5. Quarterback

Jacob Midyett ran twice, losing

three on first down, before scoring

to put his team up 6-0. The point

after was no good, but the visitors

led with 10:42 with the fans not

settled in their seats.

This, though, only served to

irritate the Wolves as the offensive

onslaught began shortly thereafter

and didnt end until the third quarter.

The kick was returned to the 49

by James Colbert. From there

DeMarcus Collier carried four

times in the five-play drive to tie

the game. The PAT was no good,

but the score was knotted at 6-6

with 9:27 showing.

It was three and out for the

Trojans, with Prescott taking over

at its 39 following a punt.

Termain Henderson missed

connection with Kalin Hall on first

down and the Wolves went back to

the ground attack. Collier carried

twice to the Trojan 31 before Hall

added a couple of runs to move the

ball to the 19. Four plays later, all

runs by Collier, Prescott had a 12-

6 lead and never looked back. The

PAT made it 13-6 with 4:57 on the

clock.

Again the Trojans were unable

to mount a drive and lined up to

punt. The kick was blocked with

Parkers Chapel recovering at the 3

where Prescott took over.

Henderson hit B.J. Haynie for

the third touchdown of the period

with 3:19 left. The PAT put the

Wolves up 20-6.

Starting at the 20 the Trojans

moved backwards to their 8 where

the team was forced to punt yet

again. Prescott took over at the

Trojan 34 with 27.8 seconds in the

first.

Henderson hit C.J. Smith for a

gain of 14, and then connected

with brother Jermaine to the six as

the first quarter ended.

Period two opened with T.

Henderson finding Haynie in the

end zone for six more. The PAT

made it 27-6 with 11:54 to go in

the half.

Prescott scored four more times

in the second quarter as Parkers

Chapel was helpless. The Trojans

were unable to mount anything

resembling a drive and more often

than not wound up heading toward

their own end zone.

Prescott had a touchdown

called back on an illegal block to

the back call, but this only delayed

the inevitable for three snaps as the

Wolves went in to make it 34-6

with 8:15 left.

Following another punt the

Wolves marched 55 yards in four

plays before Collier scored from

the 14 with 1:42 in the half. The

point after made it 41-6 and

ensured the mercy rule would be

in effect at the start of the third

period.

But, Prescott wasnt done scoring

in the first half. With less than

two minutes to go the Wolves put

two more touchdowns on the

board.

The first came after Seth

Easterling recovered a Trojan fumble

at the Parkers Chapel 31.

T. Henderson hit Hall for a

quick six. The PAT made it 48-6

with 1:12 left.

Three runs went nowhere and

the Trojans punted with 37.2 seconds

on the clock. Prescott took

over at its 29.

T. Henderson found a wide

open Haynie in the flat and 69-

yards later it was 54-6. The PAT

boosted the score to 55-6 with 15.5

seconds to go.

Following the kick, Midyett did

the smart thing and took a knee to

run out the clock.

The second half lasted a total of

25 minutes and saw each team

score one more time.

The Trojans got the ball to start

but had to punt.

Prescott, all substitute players,

ran five plays and punted for the

first time. This was the only time

the Wolves failed to score on a

drive, with the exception of the

final possession of the game.

Still, though, the Trojans came

up empty and punted.

KeAndrae Balance fielded the

punt at the Wolf 43, found a seam

and raced 57 yards for the score.

The PAT made it 62-6 with 1:38

left in the third.

Prescott kicked off to start the

final 12 minutes, with the Trojans

starting at their 25.

Midyett carried four of the

seven plays, scoring on a 9-yard

run with 5:50 left in the game. The

point after made it 62-13.

The officials did what they

could to help run the clock by taking

their time in setting up

between plays and letting time tick

off. Neither coaching staff complained.

Prescott ran three plays after

the final Trojan touchdown, moving

from the Wolf 27 to the Trojan

43 as time expired.

Unofficial statistics were as

one-sided as the score.

Prescott hit 10 of 15 passes for

218 yards and six touchdowns.

The Trojans completed four of 10

for 2 yards.

Prescott had 20 first downs, to

six for Parkers Chapel.

Midyett was sacked three

times, while Henderson was

untouched.

Prescott was flagged five times

for 70 yards, while the Trojans

were penalized twice for 15.

The Wolves ran the ball 23

times for 213 yards, averaging 9.6

yards a carry. Parkers Chapel

rushed 28 times for 63 yards or 2.2

yards per carry.

Collier carried 13 times for 161

yards and three touchdowns.

The Wolves racked up a total of

431 yards, while yielding 89, with

75 of this coming on the Trojans

75-yard fourth quarter scoring

drive.

Prescott fumbled once, losing

it, while the Trojans put the ball on

the ground twice, losing one.

The Wolves will be on the road

the next two weeks, heading to

Drew Central on Oct. 24. Kickoff

is set for 7:30 p.m.
