5 takeaways: Davidson Academy, Waverly combine for 117 points in Bears win

Davidson Academy needed every bit of its one-two punch of Stone Norton and Da'Joun Hewitt on Friday night to remain undefeated.

The quarterback, running back duo combined for eight touchdowns in a 62-55 win over Waverly.

Norton, a Florida International commitment, was 17 of 28 passing for 226 yards and five touchdowns. Hewitt, a Purdue commitment, had 170 rushing yards and three TDs on 28 carries.

"Stone has really matured to being an elite quarterback," Davidson Academy coach Jonathan Quinn said. 

Quinn said teams are loading the box to slow down Hewitt, which is enabling the Bears to throw it more.

Montez Bradley had 232 rushing yards and five TDs to lead Waverly.

Lipscomb ties series with Goodpasture

The first Martin-McCadams trophy is headed to Lipscomb Academy.

Lipscomb Academy shut out host Goodpasture 28-0 on Friday night in the two schools' 50th meeting. The series is tied 25-25.

The trophy is named after former Goodpasture coach David Martin and former Lipscomb coach Glenn McCadams and was created prior to this year's meeting.

"It's a beautiful trophy," Lipscomb Academy coach Scott Tillman said. "It's honoring two great coaches. We get to keep it at our place for the next year."

Independence's Cash airs out

Independence quarterback Ethan Cash threw for a career-high 327 yards in a crucial 24-7 Region 6-6A win over Franklin.

Cash was 26 of 37 passing with a touchdown. He didn't throw an interception. Cash, who transferred from Summit in the offseason, was making his second start for the Eagles.

Independence, which had lost back-to-back games entering the league game, improved to 2-3 overall, and 1-1 in region action. Franklin fell to 2-3, 0-3 in 6-6A.

Purdue commitment TJ Sheffield had six catches for 91 yards and had a rushing TD. Teammate Isaiah Collier had 11 catches for 160 yards and a TD.

Big Red respond

A week after suffering its first loss of the season, MBA responded in blowout fashion.

MBA defeated rival Father Ryan 45-7, scoring all of its points after the Irish scored on the opening play of the game — an 80-yard touchdown pass from DC Tabscott to Seamus O'Connell.

The Big Red lost 22-13 a week ago to Memphis University School.

MBA's defense yielded just 60 total yards after Father Ryan' first play. The defense also picked up a score when Hugh Sullivan returned Tabscott's interception 23 yards for a TD.

William Tyrone was 4 of 9 passing for 113 yards for the Big Red (4-0, 1-1 in DII-AAA East/Middle). Tyrone had a 68-yard TD pass to Patrick Wilk, who also had a 4-yard TD run.

Cobb heats up

Ethan Cobb is warming up at the right time for Eagleville.

Cobb, who was a Class 2A Mr. Football semifinalist a year ago, was 14 of 24 passing for 249 yards with three TDs in a 35-30 win over Community. Cobb also had 21 carries for 125 yards and a TD.
