Canes move to 5-0 with convincing win over Cass
Jake Parker threw for two touchdowns and Malachi Jefferies ran for two more scores as 2nd-ranked Cartersville cruised by Cass Friday night at Weinman Stadium, 43-7.
Amari White and Paul Gamble also added long touchdown runs for the Hurricanes to round out the Cartersville scoring.
White opened the game with an 80-yard jaunt in the first quarter and Parker connected with Jaylen Scott as the Canes grabbed a 15-0 lead. Jefferies added a two-point conversion after the touchdown pass.
Cass narrowed the margin to 15-7 midway through the second quarter wth a 27-yard touchdown pass from Devin Henderson to Andrew Nguyen, but that would be as close as the Colonels would get.
Parker hit Collin Fletcher for a 21-yard touchdown pass with 1:58 to go in the half to build a 22-7 Cartersville lead at halftime.
Jefferies scored on an 11-yard run with 1:51 left in the third quarter and added a 32-yard dash to the end zone with 3:55 left in the game.
Gamble’s 75 yard scoring run came with 1:20 to play.
