Wildcats Defeat Waccamaw
Johnny Allen and Zareon Hayes scored a pair of touchdowns each to lead the Dillon Wildcats past the Waccamaw Warriors Friday night in the opening game of the 2016 6-AAA Region season. After losing the opening game of the season to Mallard Creek, NC, 7-3, the Cats reeled off four straight non-conference wins, outscoring their opponents 195 points to 41, before Friday’s opener.
The Wildcats scored on each of their five possessions in the first half to take a 37-0 lead at the break and took the opening kickoff of the second half and marched 56 yards in nine plays to score their 41st point before many substitute players got into the game the rest of the way.
Allen ran his season’s total rushing numbers to 487 with 124 yards on 10 carries, 9 coming in the first half. He opened the scoring with a 24 yard scamper to cap a seven yard drive that took only 2 minutes off the clock and scored again in the second quarter on a 26-yard run. He has accounted for 7 TDs on the ground and has 4 receiving touchdowns to lead the team in scoring with 66 points.
Both touchdown runs by Hayes were out of the Wildcats formation, the first a 14-yard carry in the second quarter and his second, a 1 yard plunge up the middle in the third.
Junior quarterback Brayden Hawkins completed 8 of 12 pass attempts for 124 yards, including a 29-yard scoring toss to Ty Porter with 1:17 remaining in the first half. Hawkins is completing passes at a 63% rate, 57 of 91, and has thrown 11 touchdowns in the five games that he has played this season. He sat out the opener with Mallard Creek, but came on strong in his first start at quarterback with five touchdown passes against the Mullins Auctioneers while completing 17 of 22 attempts for 270 yards.
