LEBANON, Va. – It was a busy summer for Peyton Musick of the Honaker Tigers.
In addition to attending three passing camps at NCAA Division I schools, the 6-foot-4, 195-pound junior quarterback spent countless hours lobbing passes to his younger brother Avery and other Honaker teammates.
That routine paid off Thursday as the Tigers rolled to a 52-7 victory over the Lebanon Pioneers in the annual Coal Bowl.
The defensive game plan for Lebanon centered around applying pressure on the Honaker quarterback. Musick was prepared.
“We knew they wanted to force me to get out of the pocket because that’s what they did last year,” Peyton Musick said. “I practiced a lot on scrambling this week and my receivers did a great job of getting where they needed to be tonight.”
On the first play from scrimmage, Peyton hit 6-1 senior Parker Bandy for a 55-yard score after Bandy worked behind the secondary.
With Musick passing reading the defense and finding his receivers on rollouts, Honaker rolled up a 52-0 halftime advantage.
Musick completed 14 of 20 passes for 211 yards and four scores over thoe first two quarters.
Honaker 22 30 0 0-52
