Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Central). They blew past the Corvallis Spartans 42-13 on Friday. The Panthers pushed the score to 42-6 by the end of the third, a deficit the Spartans cut but never quite recovered from.
Central's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was JT Girod, who threw for 240 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes, and also punched in one score on the ground. Girod's passing game has become a key predictor of the Panthers' success: the team is undefeated when his passer rating is 110 or higher, but only 0-3 otherwise. Another pass catcher making a difference was Ryan Perkins, who gained 191 total yards and a touchdown.
Corvallis' defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Nate Bedford, who gained 134 total yards, and Elijah Lundeen, who threw for 198 yards and a pair of TDs.
The win got Central back to even at 3-3. As for Corvallis, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-4.
Looking ahead, Central will square off against South Albany at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Panthers will be up against the Redhawks' rather soft defense (which has allowed 30 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Corvallis, they will take on West Albany at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Bulldogs' defense has only allowed 14.5 points per game this season, so the Spartans' offense will have their work cut out for them.
