The Dwyer Panthers pounded the Olympic Heights Lions 62-0 on Friday night at Corey Lewis Stadium. The Panthers with the win now are tied with Forest Hill for first place in District 13 of Class 7A.
Things started off right for Dwyer(5-1, 2-0) when Deuce Dunbar ran the opening kickoff 75 yards to the Lions 15-yard line. Several plays later, running back Cedric Tucker raced around the left end and scored from four yards away at the 9:53 mark.
The Panthers then recovered an onside squib kick in good field position. Running back Ernest Blackshear finished off the drive as he pushed in with a one-yard touchdown at 5:18. Blackshear later added a touchdown run through the right side of the line from 24 yards out with 1:32 left in the first and they led 21-0.
Dwyer pulled away in the second quarter as they compiled 27 points. Running back Bobby Armes sprinted up the middle untouched for a 79-yard score at 9:00. Olympic Heights(3-2, 1-1) had a tough time on their next possession just 29 seconds later when quarterback Connor Hone threw an interception on a screen pass in the middle and it was returned 21 yards by Will Vargas for a touchdown.
On their next possession, the Panthers switched to some of their second-team players on offense and still reached the end zone at the 5:43 mark. Running back Sataria Haliburton plunged into the center of the line and scored from one yard out for a 41-0 gap. Richardson connected a touchdown pass to wide receiver Jamari Gaines on a crossing pattern and he ran down the middle of the field for an 88-yard pass play with 2:49 remaining in the second.
The entire second half was done with a running clock. The Lions surrendered a touchdown on the final play of the third quarter. Quarterback James Dailey threw a short pass to the left sideline, wide receiver Connor Nagle broke one tackle and scored from 37 yards out. Dwyer added another score with 3:25 remaining in the fourth on a 20-yard touchdown run by running back James Meeks.
