The Fyffe Red Devils continued their annual march to the playoffs Friday night with a 56-0 shellacking of the Cedar Bluff Tigers. Payton Anderson scored two minutes into the opening quarter on a 17-yard run. Anderson scored two more times in the first, on runs of 22 yards and 1 yard, to end the quarter 21-0. Zach Pyron hit Jake Stone for a 16-yard touchdown strike to start the second quarter. Anderson ended the first half scoring with a 7-yard touchdown run to send the Red Devils to the locker room with a 35-0 lead.
Anderson got his fifth, and final, touchdown of the night on an 11-yard run just two minutes into the third quarter. Cage Cochran scored on a 9-yard run later in the third quarter to stretch the lead to 49-0. Fyffe’s final score came midway of the fourth quarter when Tyler Machen broke free for a 52-yard touchdown run. Brody Dalton was a perfect 8-for-8 on PATs for the night. Anderson finished the night with 150 yards of rushing and five touchdowns on twelve carries. Undefeated Fyffe travels to 2A, Region 8 North Sand Mountain this Friday for what could be the Red Devils’ biggest regular season test this year.
