Class 7A top-ranked Central-Phenix City wasted no time in putting Smiths Station out of its misery early in a 62-7 victory in the 26th annual Backyard Brawl.
The Red Devils scored on its first eight possessions and a punt return to rout the Panthers.
Justyn Ross put on a show by out-leaping two defenders on a 33-yard pass reception and caught the final two passes of the initial offensive possession by the Red Devils and scored the game's first points on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Peter Parrish. Ross caught four passes for 55 yards with a touchdown and returned a punt for a 43-yard touchdown before being sent to the sidelines with 10:04 left in the first half with his team leading 28-0.
Parrish, a junior, finished 7-of-10 passing for 143 yards with three TD tosses. Sophomore Tucker Melton was 5-of-7 for 79 yards and a pair of TD passes. Melton also scored on a 2-yard run.
"We needed to work on our passing a little and both of our guys did well throwing the ball tonight,” Central coach Jamey DuBose said.”I think our overall game was pretty good. We worked out some problems we had against Auburn. Our goal was to get better tonight and I think we did that.”
Will Clanton and Derrick Moore caught two TD passes apiece.
Central's gave up a touchdown late to the Panthers on a 75-yard run by Alex Landano, with backup players on the field for both teams.
Smith Station (0-5) is off next week before travelling to play Prattville on Oct. 6. Central (4-0) plays Opelika next week.
