Piedmont had no trouble perfecting their offense Friday night at home. There was offense and more offense.

The Wildcats rolled over the Generals from U.S. Grant. The Piedmont Wildcats had little resistance on homecoming in a 62-0 blowout.

U.S. Grant won the toss and elected to defer so Piedmont got the ball first.

Then freshman Knoxtyn Rallo took the opening kickoff and returned it for a touchdown. The first quarter ended with Piedmont ahead 36-0.

The Wildcats did as Coach Jeff Hall explained during game week, take every opportunity to improve. That they did.

The Wildcats improved their record to 4-2.

Senior running back Jayden Fuston was Homecoming King in the ceremony before the game.

Piedmont scored first on a 14-yard bit of trickery. Quarterback Grayson May took the ball under center and handed it off to DreAndre Bruton. Bruton started to run right and then pitched the ball in an end-around play to Lane Whitworth. Whitworth raced around the left end and bulled his way across the goal line in the left corner of the end zone.

The Wildcats scored on a 32-yard touchdown from Carter Hainrihar who used a stiff arm to shake a defender before crossing the goal line.

Jayden Fuston had a 19-yard touchdown run. He followed that up with a 25-yard TD run. May also threw a 25-yard TD pass to Hainrihar, and the score got out of hand.

Piedmont ended up with 332 total yards. The Wildcats had 243 rushing yards and 89 yards passing.
