Literally and figuratively, North Central ran away with a 47-0 Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference victory over visiting Terre Haute South Friday night in Indiana high school football, ending the Panthers four-game losing streak.
It was also North Central’s first home victory since 2008.North Central’s overwhelming victory also led to two trivia questions:
When was the last time the Panthers scored more than 40 points in a game, and when was the last time they recorded a shutout?
Nonetheless, it was the running game and a tough defense that led to the victory. Jalen McIntyre carried the ball 22 times and finished with 121 yards. Halfback Kevin Davis added 62 yards on nine carries, scoring on runs of 5 and 1 yard. McIntyre also scored twice, on runs of 10 and 15 yards. Halfback Brandon Alexander also scored on a 1-yard run.
In the air, quarterback Gavin Alexander completed 5-of-9 for 98 yards on the windy, cool day. He also had five carries for 32 yards, scoring on a 14-yard run. Jordan Williams had three catches for 80 yards and Krayshawn Brewer had two catches for 18 yards.
Gavin Alexander was relieved by Michael Loggan in the fourth quarter with North Central leading 40-0. Loggan kept the running attack going, scoring on a 25-yard run to end the scoring.
North Central’s defense was also tough, getting two quarterback sacks from Michael Raby and one from Darius Latham.
North Central (3-4) travels to MIC-rival Center Grove (5-2) on Friday.
