CENTREVILLE — It was an offensive shootout at Centreville Academy, but the Tigers’ gun was quite a bit larger than Huntington’s as Centreville rolled up 444 rushing yards in a 56-28 win over the Hounds.

Centreville senior running back Zach Sinclair was the bellcow for the offense, rushing for 293 yards on just 20 carries.

Cliff Hurst had 70 yards on 11 carries and also had three kickoff returns for 101 yards.

Huntington broke on top in the game with a 46-yard touchdown run by Eric Bowens, who finished the game with 86 yards on 18 carries.

However, Centreville scored the next three touchdowns. Sinclair had two touchdown runs and Beau Field had another run to make the score 21-9 at the end of one quarter.

The two teams traded touchdowns in the second quarter, with De’Vonte Wallace scoring twice for Huntington and Sinclair and Field scoring for the Tigers to make the score 35-21 at halftime.

The second half was all Centreville, as the Tigers got two more touchdown runs from Sinclair as well as a touchdown run from Hurst.

Huntington’s only score in the second half came on a Jess Dossett 3-yard run late in the third quarter.

Centreville upped its record to 2-1 with the victory and will take on Silliman next week while Huntington (1-2) will take on Tallulah in its first district game.
