The 6-1 Piedmont Wildcats headed to Crain Family Stadium at Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee for a Thursday night, Oct. 19, game against the 2-5 Wolves in a Class 5A District 2 matchup.
Piedmont led 41-0 at the half. The final score was 55-0.
Piedmont won the opening coin toss and elected to receive and fire up the offense right away. Seth Shelton took the kickoff and returned it 40 yards into Shawnee territory. A few plays later and Cannon Wood took the ball into the end zone on an 18-yard run through a less than solid Shawnee defense.
Shawnee converted a fourth down near midfield on their first drive behind running back Dace Shaw. A Talan Owen sack put Shawnee back in their own territory and their drive stalled.
Piedmont was able to run the ball at will. A Jayden Huston 5-yard TD run on a jet sweep gave Piedmont a 14-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Mikah Rocco caught a 25-yard TD pass from quarterback Josh Mars for a 21-0 led with 7:05 left in the second quarter.
The next time Piedmont touched the ball, Cannon Wood ran into the secondary without being touched, and then stiff-armed a defender several times on a 67-yard TD jaunt.
The Wildcats were coming off a bye week that followed a victory over Lawton Eisenhower Oct. 6. Piedmont was blown out by Guthrie Sept. 29. Guthrie, ranked #2, faced #1-ranked Carl Albert Thursday night at Jelsma Stadium, The Rock, in Guthrie.
Guthrie was leading Carl Albert 14-0 in the second quarter of that game but the Bluejays lost 24-21 to the Titans.
Piedmont #8 in Class 5A, will face Carl Albert in another road trip to the east side of the Oklahoma City area when they visit the Titans in Midwest City on Friday, Nov. 3.
The Shawnee Wolves lost to Lawton Eisenhower 60-31 Friday, Oct. 13.
