Class 7A No. 4 Hewitt-Trussville got 337 of its 539 yards in the first half as the host Huskies defeated Buckhorn 49-0 to remain undefeated.

Paul Tyson was 10-for-18 passing for 235 yards and touchdowns to Elliott McElwain and Dazalin Worsham. McElwain added another touchdown on the ground and finished with 131 yards of offense on eight combined touches. Myles Mason had 117 all-purpose yards and scored the game’s first touchdown on a 14-yard run for the Huskies (4-0, 3-0 Region 4).

Play of the Game: The tone was set early when Mason broke free on a 65-yard run to set up the second touchdown of the opening quarter for Hewitt.

Stat sheet: Hewitt finished with 7 touchdowns to Buckhorn’s eight first downs. ... Grey Ryle added 94 passing yards in the second half for the Huskies. ... Antonio Reed scored two rushing touchdowns. … Quarterback Jabari Bishop finished with 67 yards rushing for the Bucks (1-3, 0-3).

By the numbers: 12 - Hewitt-Trussville players that had an offensive touch. ... 0 - The number of times the Huskies punted the ball. … 14 - The Huskies have won 14 consecutive regular season games.

Coachspeak: "They're tough and they're physical... so we had to earn every single yard tonight. Especially in that first half." - Hewitt head coach Josh Floyd

They said it …: "We always want to get out to a great start. If we're up big in the first quarter, it's pretty much over." - Tyson

Next week: Hewitt-Trussville looks to stay unbeaten when they travel to Center Point for an out of region game. Buckhorn will try to bounce back at Class 5A No. 6 Mae Jemison.

In IMG Academy's season-opener at Chandler (Ariz.), Alabama 2019 four-star running back commit Trey Sanders busted loose for an 89-yard touchdown run to seal the game for the Ascenders. Sanders finished the game with 143 yards on seven touches.

In the Florida prep powerhouse's second game at Corona (Calif.) Centennial, Sanders had touchdowns runs of 65 and 75 yards, as the Ascenders defeated the No. 9-ranked Huskies 40-20 to move go 2-0.

After a gap between games due to Hurricane Irma, IMG took the field against No. 5-ranked Miami (Fla.) Central on Friday night, and Sanders once again pulled the Ascenders ahead with a late 65-yard touchdown run, ultimately leading to a 24-15 victory.

If you're keeping count, that's four touchdown runs of 65 yards or longer in the Tide commit's 2017 season.

At 5-foot-11.5, 216 pounds, Sanders is rated the No. 3 running back and the No. 28 overall player in the country, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.

The Port St. Joe, Fla. native is Alabama's longest-standing commitment, having given the Tide his verbal pledge in April of 2016. Sanders visited Tuscaloosa for the Fresno State game, and stayed on campus through the following Monday. Earlier this week, the elite back picked up an offer from Oklahoma. He plans to continue taking visits, but has maintained he's firmly committed to the Crimson Tide.
