Central Hinds overruns Bowling Green in district opener
For Southern Sports & Travel, By Greg Biggs
The Bowling Green Buccaneers came sailing into Cougar field with domination on their mind but unfortunately very quickly their ship began to leak profusely. The Buccaneers won the toss and elected to receive and promptly went three and out. After a good punt by Seth Fauntleroy, Central Hinds started at their own 24 yard line. The Cougars began with a hand off to tailback Hunter Farrior to the right side and senior offensive linemen Nick Mitchell and Austin Sills wiped out the defensive line and Farrior raced 76 yards untouched for a Cougar touchdown. The Buccaneers responded with another three and out and Fauntleroy had another good punt to the Cougar 21 yard line. On this series quarterback Jordon Currie faked the hand off and kept the ball to the right side and Mitchell and Sills cleared out the defensive line again and 79 yards later Currie had scampered into the endzone for another Central Hinds score. So the sinking of the Buccaneer's ship was on. The first half also included another touchdown run from Currie and a touchdown pass to senior wide-out Cody Parkman. HALFTIME: Central Hinds 28 Bowling Green 0
The second half was very much a reflection of the first as Currie threw another touchdown pass to junior wide-out Pate Demuth and sophomore Landon Corkern ran 43 yards for the final score of the evening. The Cougars totaled 453 yards of total offense with 304 yards rushing. The Cougar defense was just as stingy as the Buccaneers only totaled 177 yards and 56 yards passing.

Senior tailback Hunter Farrior continues to bring a bruising style of rushing as he ran for 108 yards on 9 carries for over 10 yards a carry which is about his average. Also junior quarterback Jordan Currie now has rushed for 531 yards on 47 carries and is 15 for his last 24 passes and has 8 of those 15 completions for touchdowns. This game was a great precursor for an exciting game coming September 17 against the defending AA Champs Brookhaven Academy.
Central Hinds improves to 4-0 while Bowling Green slips to 1-3.
