PRINCETON — Oak Hill scored on its first five possessions and never looked back beating Princeton 55-15 in the Tigers’ home opener Friday night.
Relying almost exclusively on the run, the Red Devils rushed for 517 yards and gave a clue as to what was forthcoming with a four play 63-yard touchdown drive on their first possession. Tailback Kadrin Goodman scored from 10 yards out and moments later Oak Hill quarterback Deon Marion plunged into the endzone from two yards out to give the Red Devils a quick 14-0 lead.
After a Princeton turnover, Oak Hill halfback Jalen Jones broke clean on a 29-yard touchdown run and Oak Hill led 21-0 after one period.
Jones and Goodman added second quarter touchdowns for Oak Hill, sandwiched around Princeton quarterback Jay Palmer’s five-yard scoring run. Princeton trailed 35-7 at intermission.
In the third period Jones scored his third touchdown of the game, a 42-yard run, and Oak Hill fullback Ray Sullivan got into the scoring act with a one-yard TD plunge.
The final period, backup halfback Dakota Miller broke through the Princeton defense for a 74-yard touchdown and Princeton closed the scoring when quarterback Kirkland Perdue ran a bootleg into the endzone from 25 yards out.
The Red Devils, 2-1, totalled 563 yards total offense, while limiting Princeton to 210.
The Tigers, 0-3, visit unbeaten Capital at Laidley Field next Friday.
