The Dillon Wildcats had little trouble with the Lake City Panthers Friday night scoring both times they had the football in the first quarter on the way to a 42-0 shutout.
Jalen Williams, for the second consecutive week, rushed for over 100 yards to push his season’s total to 1,081 yards and his third quarter 11-yard scoring run gave him a team-leading 13 touchdowns for the year.
Corrian Wright scored the first two six-pointers of the game on a 3-yard run and later in the first quarter was on the receiving end of a 45-yard pass play from Jay Lester, who finished the night with 147 yards. The sophomore signal caller has accounted for 1,204 yards and 14 TDs this season.
The Dillon Nasty Cat defensive squad allowed only the Lake City offense four first downs in the first half and only one in the second. After Williams scored to start the third quarter and Wright ran another touchdown to give the Cats a 34-0 lead, the game was continued with a constantly running clock. The Panthers ran only six plays in the quarter and six more in the fourth with the only first down in the half coming with less than a minute left on the clock.
The defense registered five quarterback sacks to run the season’s total to 24 in that category with Shakai Jeanti leading the “Sack Pack” with 7. Eight players have at least one sack.
The Wildcats throttled the Panthers with 21 points in the third quarter, scoring that total just after intermission for the second straight week.
The Wildcats got excellent blocking from Damari Ladson, Damien McDaniel, Roderick McCrimmon and Dawson Dove to open gaping holes in the line for the final three touchdowns by Williams, Wright and Zareon Hayes. The defensive front had nine tackles for losses with Shamar McCollum and Jadarius McDaniel leading the way with eight and seven put downs .respectively.
Wright got the scoring off and running on an eleven play, 60 yard drive going the final 3 yards after Williams had reeled off 27 yards yards on six carries. With Ahmad Dawad hitting his first of six successful PAT attempts, the Cats enjoyed an early 7-0 lead. After holding Lake City to 3 total yards on their second offensive series, Dillon was back in the end zone on Lester’s 45 yard toss to Wright with only 42 seconds remaining in the first twelve minutes.
With a little over four minutes left in the second quarter, place kicker Dawad attempted his fourth field goal of the season from 28 yards out, but the kick sailed off to his left. After the defense held the Panthers on fourth down at the Wildcat 42, quarterback Lester went to work passing for three first downs and rushing the final 10 yards for a 21-0 lead at halftime.
Zareon Hayes got back in the thick of things after missing three games with a shoulder injury. Running at quarterback, he broke a 33-yard run for his first touchdown in as many games to score the sixth TD of the game with time running out in the third.
The Wildcats will be at home this coming week hosting the Strom Thurmond Rebels in the first game of the play-offs. “They could very well be 9-1 instead of 6-4 coming into the game,” said Coach Jackie Hayes. “They play in a pretty strong Region and had some injuries early, but they’re back to full strength. They have a big running back and the line play has improved quite a bit. We’re going to have our hands full.”
For that very reason, the Dillon fans need to come out in force for this first round game. Get here early and cheer the Cats on to victory. It will be the fifth time that the two teams meet with Dillon holding a 3-1 record…all three wins coming on Dillon turf.
