LITTLE ROCK — The Little Rock Christian Warriors wasted little time notching their second win of the season, needing only the first half to rack up all its points in a 46-12 rout of North Pulaski.
The Warriors (2-1, 2-0 5A Central Conference) got on the board less than a minute into the game with Connor Vaughan rumbling in from 6 yards out for a 7-0 lead.
After holding North Pulaski (1-3, 0-2) to minus-2 yards on its first possession, the Warriors required only 90 seconds for Jay Hedges’ 9-yard touchdown run and a 14-0 lead.
Meanwhile, North Pulaski didn’t have a positive total yardage figure until the 3:54 mark of the first quarter, and a Fred Thomas interception of Houston Angel at the Falcons’ 6 briefly stalled the Warriors.
The momentum was short lived.
Little Rock Christian pushed its way down the field again, scoring on a 1-yard touchdown run by Hayden Hill. Hill scored again 13 seconds later on a 10-yard interception return on a pass by North Pulaski’s Steven Farrior for a 27-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Little Rock Christian scored three more times in the second quarter, all courtesy of Angel. He found Beaux Peck for a 13-yard scoring throw, along with a 20-yard pass to pass to Vaughn.
Angel also added a 7-yard touchdown run.
North Pulaski got on the board when Farrior found Yakeem Young down the sideline for a 29-yard touchdown. The Falcons’ other touchdown in the closing seconds of the game when Joe Sigler plunged in from a yard out.
