CENTREVILLE — Opposing defenses beware. Centreville Academy senior running back Nick Goudeau is picking up in 2007 where he left off in 2006.

Goudeau, who had nearly 1,500 yards last season, ran and threw Brookhaven Academy’s defense to the tune of 156 yards and four touchdowns on 31 carries as the Tigers defeated the Cougars 27-14 Friday night.

After an interception led to a five-yard Cougar touchdown run with 8:54 to go in the first quarter, the Tigers scored 27 straight points to put the game away.

An extra point by Adam Perry after Goudeau’s first touchdown run and a two-point conversion run by Zach Sinclair after his fourth score helped give the Tigers a 27-6 lead.

Lofton scored on a 13-yard touchdown run with 8:07 to go in the fourth quarter and he scored on a two-point conversion run for the Cougars (0-1), who were held to 114 total yards of offense.

Hunter Brabham had two catches for 43 yards and he had eight tackles. Russ Vine and Billy Waddell had seven tackles each. Centreville’s defense also forced three turnovers.

Centreville (1-0), which had 373 yards of total offense, will play at Class AAA Parklane Academy next Friday at 7 p.m.
