PROCTORVILLE — The Fairland Dragons flamed the visiting South Point Pointers 47-7 Friday night at Jim Mayo Memorial Stadium.
The Dragons started things off with a quarterback sneak by Max Ward for a 1-yard TD and didn’t look back.
Fairland (4-0, 4-0) held South Point scoreless through the first three quarters and head coach, Melvin Cunningham, said his defense played very well but would like to see his offense improve on the little things.
“We have to quit being our own Achilles heel. Penalties have been an issue all year. They have taken away too many big plays,” said Cunningham.
Fairland junior middle linebacker and running back J.D. Brumfield set the tone early with back-to-back scores in the second quarter.
Brumfield tallied 10 carries for 71 yards and two scores for the Dragons who ran for 198 yards and had 466 total yards of offense.
Fairland led 21-0 at the break.
Max Ward got the passing game going for the Fairland offense in the second half as he found senior wide receiver Gavin Hunt twice in the end zone.
Hunt led the game in receiving with five catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns.
Fairland even got an early look at the future, as freshman quarterback Peyton Jackson ran two successful drives into the end zone to add to the lead.
Jackson ran one touchdown in from 10 yards out and threw one touchdown to Gavin Davis to make the final, 47-7.
South Point (0-4, 0-4) was limited to 120 total yards including 68 on the ground. Maddox McCallister had 72 yards on 13 carries and a 24-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to lead the Pointers.
Next Friday, Fairland visits Gallipolis and South Point entertains Rock Hill.
