Midland Rolls Over Big Reds 56-8 Despite Snyder Setting Record

Game Statistics / Game Photos

Cabell Midland was clicking on all cylinders Friday night as they defeated Parkersburg 56-8 despite a record-setting receiving night by Big Red senior Karson Snyder.

Ivan Vaughn ran for four touchdowns as Midland piled up 490 yards in total offense to more than offset a record-setting effort by Snyder, who caught 11 passes for 94 yards to break the old record of 10 receptions in a single game held by Dan Fox and Wes Ankrom.

Vaughn ran for two of his touchdowns in the first quarter as he amassed 182 of his game total of 219 yards in just eight minutes. He added two more touchdowns in the second quarter and the Knights tacked on a pair of TD passes from Gabe Childress to Isaiah Duncan en route to a 42-0 halftime lead.

The second half saw Tyler Berry, Cabell's huge fullback, run for a pair of touchdowns including the game's final TD with 4:06 left in the contest with his team ahead 49-8 but with the first string offense still on the field.

Parkersburg's only score came with 10:58 left when Easton Martin ran in from two yards away to cap a 15-play, 78 yard drive.

While the Knights were running for 381 yards on 41 attempts and adding another 109 passing (4 of 8) for a 490 total, PHS was held to 78 yards rushing and 156 passing.

Snyder gained 94 yards on his record-setting total of 11 receptions and also threw a two-pointer conversion pass to Brenton Strange. Martin had a good night running the ball with 82 yards on 20 attempts. PHS starter Ethan Airhart hit just seven of 18 passes for 72 yards with two interceptions while Bradley Craig took most of the snaps in the second half and completed 10 of 18 for 84 yards.

Defensively, Brenton Strange and Tyler Lawrentz had eight tackles each unofficially.

PHS started the game by holding Midland on a fourth and two situation from the Big Red 32 when Wyatt Strobl stopped Jake Gooderham for a yard gain. But the Big Reds returned the favor by driving to the Midland 33 but threw an incomplete pass on a fourth and four situation.

Two plays later Vaughan broke off a 65 yard touchdown run as he broke several tackles along the way.

The Big Reds had to punt on their next possession and it took the visitors just five plays to cover 63 yards to the end zone and after an interception on the next PHS offensive try it was downhill the rest of the way.
