Published 12:19 am Saturday, October 25, 2014

REDMOND — Four Redmond ball carriers ran for more than 100 yards in a 70-24 rout of North Eugene in a nonleague football game.

After a slow start, the Panthers proved explosive by scoring on three of their first four offensive plays and tallying six scoring plays of 40 yards or more.

Derek Brown, who broke away for a 69-yard score after winless North Eugene jumped ahead 6-0, led the way with 155 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Brown has now rushed for more than 1,500 yards this season.

Bunker Parrish (106 yards, one TD), Darren Ross (105 yards, two TD) and JV call-up Jeremy Durham (100 yards, one TD) also pitched in on the ground. Parrish, Redmond’s starting quarterback, completed two passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns.

“Offensively, we looked really, really good tonight,” said Redmond coach Nathan Stanley. “Obviously when you have four guys running for more than 100 yards you are getting a lot of players touches, which is good.”

The Panthers (5-3 overall), who have been eliminated from playoff contention, will finish the season next week at rival Ridgeview.
