Three unanswered Parklane Academy (1-1, 0-0) first quarter touchdowns proved to be too much to overcome for Brookhaven Academy Friday night in McComb. (0-2, 0-0) The Pioneers defeated the Cougars 34-6.

Parklane senior quarterback Carr Young threw three first-half touchdowns and took the Pioneers to the locker room with a 27-6 lead at halftime. The Cougars would find the end zone\ on their second drive of the second quarter when quarterback Heath Hickman found running back Connor Dorman for a 41-yard touchdown pass.

With Dorman rushing for over 100 yards last week against Centreville, the Pioneer defense committed to stopping the Cougars run game. The senior could not break free for big gains and finished with only 32 yards rushing on 11 carries. He added 45 yards on three catches. Sophomore Grayson Devito and senior Michael Fiorella totaled 28 yards on seven combined carries.

Unable to get the offense going throughout, the Cougars totaled 112 yards in the loss. The Pioneers totaled 296 yards of offense aided by Carr’s 193 yards passing. The Cougars senior signal caller completed 10 of 15 passes for 81 yards and one touchdown.

On defense, Cougars seniors Garrett Pace and Trent Nettles had seven tackles apiece. Pace added a sack and Nettles had one tackle for loss. Junior William King chipped in 6.5 tackles including one for loss and junior Carter Culbertson had five tackles and blocked a PAT.

The Cougars begin district play next Friday in Brookhaven against Prentiss Christian. Kickoff at “Red” Stuard field is set for 7 p.m.
