HUBBARD

Scoring touchdowns is nothing new for Larry Scott.

“They are all the same to me, unless I break a long one,” Scott said.

Scott broke a 21-yard run in the fourth quarter to top off Hubbard’s 40-10 victory over the Canfield Cardinals.

The Cardinals were coming off a touchdown drive when Scott scored the final of four touchdowns.

Scott finished with 184 yards on 18 carries.

“I just had to help the team,” Scott said.

The Eagles started the game with an impressive 15-play drive, running more than seven minutes off the clock. Scott scored from nine yards out.

Scott came up with two fourth down conversations to keep the drive alive.

“It was a really big drive,” Scott said. “We work in practice to not get tired. You’ll breathe a little heavy but you just gotta keep eating.”

The Eagles ate up the rushing yards, ending with 274.

The passing game was also strong for Hubbard as Cam Ingram found Isiah Scott for two scores.

Up 14-0, Ingram found Scott for a 44-yard touchdown early in the second quarter.

The second connection came late in the quarter on a 29-yard pass. Scott made a defender miss and went untouched in to the end zone.

“I wouldn’t call it overlooked,” Scott said of the passing game. “When we need to come to the passing game, we show that we’re good at it.”

Ingram finished with 109 yards and two touchdowns.

“We really sustained our running and passing attack tonight,” said Eagles head coach Brian Hoffman.

The Eagles' defense controlled most of the game, allowing 54 yards on the ground.

“Defensively, I couldn’t have asked for a better effort,” Hoffman said.

Cardinals head coach Mike Pavlansky knew his defense had a tough challenge.

“I thought that first drive [on defense] gave our kids a little bit of confidence that we could slow them down,” Pavlansky said. “But they just proved how good they are. They can score on a big play or just pound the ball.”

Canfield scored on a 45-yard field goal from Bryan Kristan. The Cardinals recovered an onside kick and four plays later scored on a 1-yard run by Aaron Jenkins.

“Our problems were more at the beginning of the game offensively,” Pavlansky said. “Our penalties really set us back.”

On their first drive, the Cardinals had two personal fouls, pushing them to a third-and-30 from their 5.

Down 7-0, Pavlansky believed it was the best thing to do.

“We just thought that instead of having our punt team out there, they got a chance on a block,” Pavlansky said. “We just let our quarterback quick-kick one and he did a nice job.”

The Eagles (7-0), who are ranked No. 1 in the state in Division III, improved to 3-0 in All-American Conference American Division.

For Larry Scott it was another night at the office.

“It was exciting,” Scott said. “At the same time, we just have to focus on what we have ahead of us and come through as a team.”
