REDMOND — Redmond pounded out a 62-28 home football win over Franklin of Portland on Friday night behind a prolific running game that amassed 590 yards of total offense.

Redmond had 446 yards to Franklin’s 14 yards in the first half in the season opener for both teams.

Running back Derek Brown accounted for 354 yards for the Panthers, who scored on a pair of quick drives in the first quarter and led 21-0 before Franklin answered.

Brown started the scoring with a 59-yard run just 95 seconds into the game.

The Panthers struck again three minutes later on a 23-yard touchdown run by Brown and then yet again early in the second quarter on a 22-yard run by Brown.

Redmond led 34-7 at the half after touchdown runs of 4 yards by Brian Palmer and 15 yards by Hunter Smith.

Franklin began to find traction against the Panthers in he second half, scoring on an 18-yard pass from Max Hawkins to Ian Pederson. But Redmond opened up a passing game of its own, with Bunker Parrish connecting with Alani Troutman for a 34-yard touchdown strike three minute into the second half.

Franklin narrowed the score to 41-28, connecting on passes of 2 yards and 5 yards for touchdowns before the Panthers scored three unanswered touchdowns that included scoring runs of 11 and 18 yards by Brown.

Darren Ross capped Redmond’s big night with a 95-yard interception return.

“I think we didn’t know what to do with how well we did,” said Redmond coach Nathan Stanley, noting the Panthers’ third-quarter lapse. “I think that’s something you have to learn. You have to learn to win and learn to play with a lead.”

Redmond missed a pair of scoring opportunities because of untimely fumbles.

“We didn’t have issues other than turnovers, and that’s our No. 1 job next week is ball security,” Stanley said.

With the win, the Panthers matched their win total of last season. They go for 2-0 next Friday at Eagle Point.
