After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Sprayberry, Creekview was happy to have turned things around on Friday. They breezed by the Pope Greyhounds on the road to the tune of 55-24. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Grizzlies just coasted through the last quarter.
It was another big night for Austin Guest, who rushed for 175 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries, and also threw for 138 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. Those 175 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. Nathan Agyemang did his part to keep the secondary busy, picking up 80 receiving yards.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Creekview's defense and their four sacks. Brant Freeman was especially locked on to Pope's QB and sacked him twice. Freeman also sacked two sacks, which is notable because Creekview is undefeated when he posts at least two sacks, but 1-3 otherwise.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Creekview was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 371 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've managed all season.
Several Greyhounds players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Hudson Deline, who threw for 192 yards and two touchdowns on only 18 passes, and also rushed for 36 yards. Another player making a difference was Corban Lewis, who picked up 131 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Creekview's record is now 5-3. As for Pope, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-5.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Creekview will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against River Ridge at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th. River Ridge's defense has only allowed 14 points per game this season, so Creekview's offense will have their work cut out for them. Pope will also get a bit of a break before their next matchup: they'll face off against Sequoyah at 7:30 p.m. on October 25th.
