The top-ranked Carey School Panthers had pretty much their way with the visiting Clark County Bobcats on a drizzly Wednesday night at Carey's Derrick Parke Memorial Field.
Playing in the rain didn't stop Carey from piling up 602 yards in total offense in just 24 minutes of action as the Panthers (6-0, 2-0 league) stretched their two-season win streak to 13 games with a 58-0 mercy-rule triumph over Clark County.
Carey out-gained the Bobcats from Dubois 602 to 28. The game ended at halftime on the 45-point mercy rule specific to Idaho eight-man football. It was Carey's fourth shutout in six games as the Panthers have outscored opponents 282-22.
Senior Charlie Rivera (280 all-purpose yards) rushed for 88 yards, caught two passes for 86 more yards and finished the Sawtooth Conference North Division eight-man football game with a 90-yard interception return for the final TD.
Rivera scored five of Carey's eight TDs on the evening, and junior quarterback Jordan Dilworth (6-for-8, 194 yards) tossed four TD aerials. Senior Jack Cenarrusa caught two long TD passes. Indeed, Carey ran free—boasting six scoring plays that exceeded 40 yards.
The well-balanced Panthers ended up with 175 rushing yards, 194 through the air and 233 on returns, mostly from Baley Barg's five punt returns for 132 yards. Rivera (7 tackles), Dillon Cenarrusa (6) and Chance Chavez (6) led the defense, which had four sacks.
Clark County (2-4, 1-2 league) was led by junior punter Chayce Bramwell, who boomed six punts for a 36.2 average.
Coach Lane Kirkland's Panthers will now prepare for a showdown with chief North Division rival Dietrich (4-2, 3-0 league) on Friday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. on the Carey turf. Dietrich pasted Richfield 55-6 Wednesday for its third straight win.
