It didn?t always look like it on the field but Kennedale (5-0) dominated the Carter Cowboys (1-5) Friday night winning 70-21 while racking up 723 yards in total offense. {{more}}
All of Kennedale yards came on the ground with 65 attempts at an average gallop of 11 yards per carry. The Cats never had to punt.
Carter had what would seem to be a good night with 398 yards of total offense. In most games that should be enough for a win but not this night. The Cowboys had 222 yards on the ground and 176 yards through the air going 15 for 31 attempts.
But a typical drive for Cowboys was similar to their second possession of the game when Carter drove down to the Kennedale 38 yard line on a mixture of passing and running. The drive ended when the Cats forced a Carter fumble.
Carter could make big plays but that would be followed by consecutive losses caused by a swarming Kennedale defense. Several times Carter was in the red zone but the D-Cats for Kennedale would not break and the ball would go over on downs.
Kennedale had three players over 100 yards. Washington led all rushers with 304 yards and 6 TDs. (Washington is nearing the 1000 yard mark for the season). Cody Gillespie had 185 and 2 TDs. Ronald Hayes had 160 yards and 2 TD.
