Sandy Creek scored on its first eight possessions that started in a normal field position and never let Heritage get on the scoreboard on a cold afternoon at home. Paul Norwood ran for three first-half touchdowns, Caleb Hill accounted for two more, and the Patriots’ defense forced two turnovers in a 56-0 rout.

Sandy Creek wasted no time once it got the ball. After Heritage went three-and-out on the opening possession and punted, the Patriots took over at the Heritage 46, and Norwood broke loose on the first big play of the afternoon, a 43-yard touchdown run. Heritage was pinned deep again on the ensuing kickoff and had to punt from its own 11. Sandy Creek drove 52 yards from its own 48, with Norwood finishing it off on a 6-yard run, and Alonzo Torres added the extra point to put the Patriots up 14-0 after the first quarter.

Norwood added his third score early in the second quarter, capping an 85-yard drive with an 11-yard run, and Torres made it 21-0. Sandy Creek’s onside kick attempt was recovered by Heritage at its own 49, but the Patriots’ defense took the ball right back when Aiden Dunn intercepted a pass and returned it to the Sandy Creek 39. Hill hit Brennan Williams for a 41-yard touchdown pass a few plays later. After another Heritage punt gave Sandy Creek the ball at the Heritage 49, Hill kept it himself and raced 28 yards for a touchdown, and Torres’ kick sent the Patriots into halftime with a 35-0 lead.

Heritage kicked off to start the second half, and Sandy Creek went 80 yards on the opening drive, with Tristian Bailey scoring on a 5-yard run. The Patriots got the ball back quickly, and Bailey punched in a 1-yard touchdown for his second score of the quarter. Heritage fumbled on the next possession, and Sheldon Bliss recovered at the Heritage 4. One play later, Ethan Caruthers ran it in from 4 yards out, and Torres’ extra point made it 56-0 after three quarters.

Neither team scored in the fourth quarter. Sandy Creek converted a fake punt for a first down early in the period, and the two teams traded punts the rest of the way as the Patriots closed out the 56-0 shutout.
