It's playoff time, and Central had no trouble coming through when it counted. They blew past the Hoover Buccaneers 34-10 on Friday. Considering the Red Devils have won nine matchups by more than 22 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Central got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Jayshaun Woodhouse out in front who rushed for 186 yards and a pair of TDs while picking up 7.4 yards per carry, and also picked up 30 receiving yards. Woodhouse showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 65 yards. JJ Joiner was another key pass catcher, picking up 138 receiving yards and two scores.

Central didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Marquise Cooper and Amaree Law. Another thorn in Hoover's side was Tristan Lyles, who picked up a sack and made nine total tackles (3.0 for loss).

The win was the fifth in a row for Central, bringing their record up to 10-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 11.4 points on average over those games. As for Hoover, their defeat dropped their record down to 6-5.

Coming up, Central will challenge Fairhope at 8:00 p.m. on Friday. The two teams might be coming in a bit winded given these two teams combined for 922 yards in their previous games. Hoover does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
