Caddo rolled to a threetouchdown lead before ever taking an offensive snap and romped its way to a 48-0 mercy rule shellacking of Snyder on Homecoming last week.
Bayler Black returned the game’s opening kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown with springing blocks from Cale Wigington and Jake McKay and the Bruins never looked back.
McKay added back-to-back punt return touchdowns that covered 56 and 44 yards as the Caddo defense put on a dominant performance from the start.
Once the Caddo offense did get on the field they made short work of the Cyclones, scoring on three of their eight offensive plays in the game.
McKay ran 20 yards for one touchdown and caught a 30yard pass from Wigington for another with Wigington running six yards for the other offensive trip to paydirt.
Black tallied 36 yards on five rushes and toted the ball for a pair of two-point conversions. Noah Bacon chipped in one reception for 19 yards. That was part of the Bruins’ 111 total yards for the night.
Caddo’s other touchdown in the game that was called at halftime came on a 28-yard interception return for a score by Noah Carvel.
Noah Dry finished with 17 tackles, McKay added 15 and Black had 14 to lead the defensive charge. Dillon Speers contributed 12 stops, Bladyn Brown had 11 and Jase Counce provided 10.
“Special teams were huge,” head coach Jeff Wigington commented. “That’s why they say they are such a big part of the game. We only had an opportunity to run nine total plays so we never had time to get much going.”
The Bruins will put their perfect 5-0 record on the line this week against another unbeaten as they host Quinton at 7 p.m. Friday in the all-important district opener. Both teams aren’t ranked in the Top 5 of the Class B1 state polls.
Quinton has outscored five foes by a combined 204-34 score.
“Any time you start dis- trict play you have to wrench it up,” Coach Wigington said. “I’ve always looked at it like a new season. The first five games don’t matter at this point. Quinton is undefeated and has our attention. It’s two 5-0 teams that are ranked in the Top 5. It’s an opportunity to see exactly where we are at.
“They’ll test us in a few areas we may not have been tested in, but we are looking forward to it. They are a well-coached group and don’t turn the ball over or commit many penalties. They make their hay running the ball with an elusive quarterback and running back. We have to be able to stop the run and compete on the line of scrimmage. This is definitely a measuring stick for us.”
