Kade Pigg and Patrick Sandridge each had three touchdown runs as the Canton Academy Panthers defeated the Trinity Episcopal Saints 45-14 Friday night.

The first quarter was really the most contested quarter of the game. After Ryan Lindsey made a 25-yard field goal at the 7:10 mark, Jakarius Caston returned the ensuing kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown to give Trinity Episcopal a 6-3 lead with 6:46 to go.

It would remain that way until Sandridge scored on a 22-yard run with 8:05 left in the second quarter to give Canton Academy the lead for good.

Pigg scored on a 7-yard run late in the first half and Chad Wages’ 2-point conversion run gave the Panthers a 17-6 lead at the break. Pigg then added TD runs of 8 and 49 yards in the third quarter and Sandridge scored on runs of 10 and 58 yards in the fourth quarter.

The Saints finally got back on the scoreboard with 6:49 left on a 39-yard TD run by Cedric Daniels. Caston ran in for two points.

Trinity Episcopal (1-3) next plays at Greenville-St. Joseph at 7 p.m. next Friday.
