Honaker 60, Castlewood 8
The Honaker Tigers wore camouflage uniforms on Friday night, but it was pretty easy to spot them since they spent most of the night in the end zone.
Todd Tiller’s high-scoring squad put up 40 first-quarter points and 53 first-half points and shared the wealth in crushing Castlewood.
Honaker (2-0) figures to accumulate several titles this season and they clinched one on Friday night – the Russell County championship.
Eight days after scoring all of their points in the first half in a 52-7 win over Lebanon, the Tigers got started early and often once again.
Seven players scored touchdowns, nine different players carried the ball, seven separate guys caught passes and three dudes completed passes for the Tigers, who racked up 422 yards of total offense.
Peyton Musick finished 10-of-10 through the air for 173 yards and three touchdowns, throwing a 56-yard scoring strike to Avery Musick 59 seconds into the game.
Avery Musick caught two TD passes from Peyton Musick. Parker Bandy, Aidan Lowe, Jaxon Dye, Malachi Lowe, Tyler Stephens and Nick Ball also got in on the scoring spree.
The Tigers actually didn’t throw an incomplete pass as Nick Ball and freshman Levi Honaker completed their only attempts in relief of Peyton Musick. Stephens carried the ball just two times for 66 yards and scored two TDs.
Castlewood (0-2) got its lone touchdown in the third quarter as sophomore Wes Harvey made a 55-yard house call on a TD pass from Brayden Houchins. Jacob Farmer scored the two-point conversion for the Blue Devils, who have lost 11 in a row.
