Kaiden Kent pulled in two touchdowns as Cartersville roared to a 55-0 halftime lead on the way to a 69-6 win at Woodland Friday night, Nov. 6.
Both of Kent’s scores – his only catches of the game – came from throws by Brayden Doss. A 23-yarder with two minutes left in the first quarter made the score 21-0, while the other went for 54 yards to stretch the lead to 49-0 with 2:38 to play in the half.
The Canes spread 286 passing yards among eight receivers, with all four quarterbacks throwing at least one touchdown.
Doss completed 4-of-5 attempts for 140 yards and three scores. Harris Turner went 4-of-8 for 88 yards and a 28-yard strike to Braylen Cleaver. Brody Jones’ lone toss on the Canes first drive of the second half found Lance Tippett at the goal line from 33 yards out. Brock Crawford completed a 25-yard, fourth-quarter screen pass to Josiah Sutton that the sophomore took to the end zone.
Cartersville also rolled up 144 yards on the ground. CJ McClendon led the team with five carries for 49 yards and a score, followed by 36 yards from Doss on four carries, including a touchdown. Tyon Coe’s only run came on a 33-yard touchdown that opened the scoring on the Canes’ opening drive.
Woodland scored on the final play of the game.
Quarterback Sam Ray set it up with a scramble on fourth and 14, finding Clayton McArdle along the sideline at the 19-yard-line with seconds remaining. On the next snap, Ray spotted the senior receiver again in the back of the end zone for the Wildcats.
Cartersville finished the regular season 10-0. On Oct. 9, the Canes set the record for the most games to open a season scoring at least 48 points in a 52-8 win over Cedartown. Friday’s win extends the record. CHS averages 54.2 points per contest while giving up 5.5.
Cartersville moves on to the state playoffs next week to host Perry (5-5).
Woodland finishes its season at 2-8.
