Prep football roundup: Lincoln puts up 75; Chiles drops Rickards to 0-3
The Trojans destroyed Hudson at Cox Stadium, while the Timberwolves won a 28-7 game over the Raiders on the northside
Points were at a premium in Gene Cox Stadium on Friday night with Lincoln rolling a Hudson team far out-manned and out-gunned.
When a lightning delay hit with 4:50 left in the second quarter, the Trojans were already up 48-0 on the way to a 75-0 victory.
The 75 points and margin of victory set Lincoln school records, and eight different players scored in the blowout.

Beard also struck gold on a 42-yard heave to Sage Ennis and a 62-yard toss to Marko Skarica, who later returned a punt 58 yards for a score. Caleb Matthews had a short, first-half touchdown run.
Chiles 28, Rickards 7
The slide continues for Rickards after another loss, which dropped the Raiders to 0-3 to start the year following a 28-7 home win for Chiles.
Timberwolves junior quarterback Garrett Greene threw two touchdown passes and ran for another, Shantas Nixon recorded an interception in the red zone to prevent a second-quarter scoring opportunity for Rickards, and running back/receiver Jalen Herring scored twice in the win.
Greene threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Dillon Giesecke to open the scoring in the second quarter and Chiles (1-2) take a 7-0 lead to half.
Greene expanded the lead with a seven-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, and later in the period Herring ran in a three-yard touchdown. The pair then hooked up a 49-yard score midway through the fourth quarter for a 28-0 lead.
Timberwolves defensive back Lacorey Levens added an interception for his side.
Rickards running back Kelvin Dean scored on a late one-yard plunge to finish with 101 yards on the ground, and Sammy Carter caught five passes for 55 yards.
Godby 14, Lake Mary 11
Taking on its second straight Class 8A opponent, Godby didn't get the scoring blitz it got in last week's 47-44 overtime win, but the Cougars did get a better defensive effort.
Godby scored first on its opening drive as quarterback Trey Fisher connected with Ja'Heim Knight for a 65-yard gain to set up Tony Street's three-yard touchdown run.
After trading punts for the majority of the half, the Cougars fell behind 9-7 but immediately answered just before halftime.
Fisher hit receiver Trevor Solomon-Wilson for back-to-back 40 yards gains, the latter going for a touchdown and Godby (3-0) took a 14-9 lead to half.
C.J. Williams made a touchdown-saving interception in the second half, which featured more tough defense and punting. The Cougars took a safety late to back them out of a bad spot on the goal line, and they were able to preserve the win.
NFC 31, Valwood 7
The Eagles' offense finally got going after two dry weeks as NFC committed to the run and got four running backs plenty of carries.
Von Hayes carried 10 times for 46 yards and two touchdowns, and Deon Cosby and Jonathan Railey combined for 110 yards rushing for NFC (2-1).
NFC quarterback Brayden Phillips threw two touchdown passes – one to Hayes for 13 yards and another for 56 yards to Preston Reece.
Aucilla Christian 45, St. Francis 26
Running back Blake Wirick went over 150 yards rushing for the third straight game, posting 195 on 26 carries and one touchdown.
Andrew Burrus carried 11 times for 77 yards and three touchdowns, and Brady Browning recorded two interceptions and returned them both for touchdowns of 47 and 41 yards.
Austin Herbert made 11 tackles for the Warriors (3-1) and Browning had nine, while Brandon Hannon was perfect on extra points (6 for 6) and drilled a 30-yard field goal.
Maclay 35, The Nation Christian 12
Robert Parker-Crawford was at it again for the Marauders, scoring four of Maclay's five touchdowns.
Parker-Crawford returned a punt 73 yards for a touchdown and caught an 84-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Brecht Heuchan in the first quarter.
Heuchan added a quarterback sneak in the second quarter and Maclay (3-0) opened up a 20-0 lead, but Nation Christian cut into it with two second-quarter touchdowns.
That's when Parker-Crawford stepped up with an 80-yard kickoff return to swing momentum back in Maclay's favor.
In the third quarter, the electric junior running back/receiver turned a short pass into a 26-yard touchdown to post the final points.
Wakulla 26, Taylor County 6
After a quiet first half in which Wakulla led just 6-0 thanks to quarterback Jaylon Worsham's five-yard touchdown run, the War Eagles (2-1) broke things open in the second half to win 10 of the 11 last meetings against Taylor County (1-2).
Lamonta Peterson ran for a 10-yard touchdown, Hunter Busen kicked two 31-yard field goals in the fourth quarter, and Worsham put the game away with a 50-yard touchdown near the end of the game.
Taylor County quarterback Da'corian Bellamy scored his team's only points, briefly cutting Wakulla's lead to 16-6 in the third quarter.
Sandalwood 41, Leon 12
Paxton Tomaini hit running back Steven Bivins for a 73-yard swing pass to set up Tomaini's short scoring run and a 6-0 lead, but it would be short-lived.
Tomaini also hooked up with receiver Donovan Mobley for a touchdown.
Sandalwood improved to 3-0, which was what the Lions (2-1) were looking to do for the first time in over 15 years.
