The Dwyer Panthers shut out the Park Vista Cobras 40-0 at Blum Stadium on Saturday. Both schools are expected to contend from Palm Beach County for the postseason.
Dwyer(1-0) scored the only touchdown in the first quarter. Running back Ernest Blackshear raced down the left sideline for a 78-yard score at the 7:00 mark.
The Panthers extended their lead to 21-0 during the second quarter as they got into the end zone twice. Defensive back Colby Dempsey intercepted a ball from Park Vista(0-1) quarterback Tyler Thomas and returned it 38 yards for a touchdown at 4:55. Quarterback Gio Richardson, in his first game with Dwyer since he transferred from Oxbridge Academy, arched a 25-yard pass to the left corner of the end zone which wide receiver Nic Jennings caught with 1:20 left in the first half.
The momentum stayed with Dwyer in the third quarter as they struck quickly. Cornerback Dequan Wilson picked off a pass and brought it back 32 yards for a score at 10:30.
Richardson later threw a swing pass to running back James Meeks on the right side as he scored on a six-yard touchdown with 2:45 remaining in the third. Meeks also made his debut with the Panthers after helping Oxbridge Academy reach the FHSAA Class 3A state title game last season.
Dwyer added a 72-yard touchdown pass on the second play of the fourth quarter to go up 40-0. A running clock was used for the rest of the contest.
