SCHS added to their lead with 3:49 left in the fist quarter when quarterback Garrett Peavy threw an 11-yard touchdown reception to Zykevious Walker to give the Wildcats a 13-0 lead.
Then with 6:17 left in the second quarter, Zamon Ross ran a punt return 46 yards for a touchdown. The extra point by Clark was good and the Wildcats had a commanding 20-0 lead at the half.
Early in the third quarter, the Wildcat defense rose up to make a play. Defensive back Rodney Hicks intercepted HHS quarterback Landon Gallaher’s pass. This gave the Wildcats an opportunity to put more points on the board and that is exactly what they did. They moved the ball down to the Red Devils’ one-yard line. From there, Peavy was able to score. Aaron Pinckard’s extra point was good and the Wildcats increased their lead to 27-0 with 3:15 left in the third quarter.

SCHS capped off the evening when Ross scored his third touchdown of the night on a 14-yard run to complete the 40-7 rout.
