COLONY — Crest High dominated St. Paul on Friday night, 60-14.
The game began with both sides scoring touchdowns and going back and forth in the first half.
Following two St. Paul touchdowns, the Crest defense changed its attack and shut out the Indians the rest of the night.
“We made a couple of adjustments defensively and started blitzing a little more to help take away the passing game,” said Crest head coach Nick McAnulty.
The Lancer offense only threw the ball three times and used the run game to score most of their points. The offensive line blocked well and Crest scored six rushing touchdowns.
“Offensively we used our size advantage to really move them up front and relied heavily on our running game, only throwing the ball three times. We were very physical and it was a lot of fun to watch the big blocks taking place from every position on the field,” McAnulty said.
Holden Barker led the Crest rushing attack with five touchdowns and 203 ground yards on 16 carries. Ethan Godderz scored a touchdown and went for 83 ground yards.
Godderz threw the ball three times for two touchdowns and 57 yards. He connected on all three passes with Stetson Setter.
“I was really proud of the guys staying level headed when they scored early on us, and not panicking. They stayed the course and trusted each other,” said McAnulty.
Defensively, Barker racked up 11 tackles and four sacks while also forcing a fumble. Avery Blaufuss made 10 tackles.
Crest will hit the road to take on Marmaton Valley Friday at 7 p.m.
