Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Linden-McKinley). They blew past the Mifflin Punchers 60-0 on Thursday. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio football rankings (they are ranked 310th, while the Punchers are ranked 683rd) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
It was another big night for Davell Brock, who rushed for 68 yards and a pair of TDs on only seven carries, and also threw for 132 yards and two touchdowns. He is also on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in each of the last four games he's played. Another player making a difference was Jaron Sims, who picked up 40 receiving yards and two scores.
Linden-McKinley didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Sims. Linden-McKinley received some extra help from Calvin Bradley, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
