Central Catholic Eagles soar past Highland Baptist Bears

Central Catholic took advantage of good field position and key plays to run away with a 50-20 District 7-1A win Friday against the Highland Baptist Bears. Highland Baptist scored first on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Myles Liggans to Matthew Napier. The Eagles responded with a 51-yard drive that ended on a 13-yard Chris Singleton touchdown run. A successful two-point conversion with 31 seconds left in the first quarter gave Central Catholic an 8-7 lead. Singleton added another touchdown on the next drive, this time a 46-yard run, to extend the Eagles’ lead to 16-7 with 8:39 remaining in the second quarter.
