LEXINGTON —
McClain hosted cross-county rival S. V. Marshall Friday night and came away with a very convincing win, 64-0.
The Mustangs lost last year’s contest to the Tigers 26-20.
McClain got on the board quickly after stuffing the Tigers on their first drive, when Timothy Stewart scored on a nine-yard run.
Quarterback Rotavious Thurmond added the two-point conversion and the Mustangs led 8-0.
The Mustangs scored again with 4:17 left on the clock in the first quarter when R. Thurmond hit Aconya Brown with a 16-yard strike for a touchdown.
Stewart added the two-point conversion and the Mustangs now led 16-0.
Shortly after their offensive score, linebacker Gentry Greer scooped a fumble up and ran it in for another 16-yard score.
Stewart added the two-point conversion and the score was now 24-0 in favor of the home team.
With 7:45 left in the second quarter the Mustangs scored another defensive touchdown when linebacker Brian Pernell intercepted his second pass of the year and found pay dirt shortly thereafter.
The two-point conversion attempt failed and the Mustangs now led 30-0.
On the Tigers next offensive possession senior end Robert Jordan took a fumble and ran it in from 30 yards out.
R. Thurmond scored on the two-point attempt and the Mustangs now led 38-0, which would be the score at the end of the half.
The Mustangs first score of the second half happened when Gentry Greer sacked the quarterback for a safety and they now led 40-0.
R. Thurmond scored from 45 yards out with 5:17 left n the third quarter and Furnell Flemming added the two-point conversion to push the Mustang lead to 48-0.
The Mustangs would score again in the third quarter when Jamie Banks returned a fumble for a touchdown.
The conversion was good and the Mustangs now led 56-0 after three. R. Thurmond would once again find his target when Tyrun Lemon ran under a 26-yard strike, two-point conversion good, to cap the scoring at 64-0.
“The injury bug had hit us pretty hard before the game with three key starters out in offensive guard Jawandrick Anderson, center Derion Love and defensive end Shaquile Brown,” said McClain athletics director D. L. Canada. “Our reserves stepped in at a moments notice and proved to be ready.”
The Mustangs will be in action Friday night as they host the Lanier Bulldogs at 7:30.
