The Homewood High School football team celebrated Homecoming from start to finish on Friday night.
Behind an efficient offense and a stingy defense, Homewood rolled to a 49-0 shutout over Jackson-Olin on Friday.
“I love the effort we’re playing with,” said Homewood head coach Ben Berguson. “Our defense was outstanding tonight.”
Senior quarterback Kaleb Carson set the tone early, orchestrating an eight-play drive that ended with running back Chappy Chapleau powering in for the opening score midway through the first quarter.
Following a quick defensive stop, Carson connected with David Walden for a 43-yard touchdown strike that had the Homewood (5-0, 3-0 Class 6A, Region 5) sidelines buzzing. He later fooled the defense with play action and found Landon Pettus in the second quarter, giving the Patriots a 21-0 advantage.
While the offense was clicking, the Patriots’ defense stole the spotlight before halftime. Linebacker Darren Stitt came off the edge and delivered a hit that jarred the ball loose from the Mustangs’ quarterback. Defensive lineman Major Moorer pounced on the fumble inside the 5-yard line, setting up Reid Goldstein for a short touchdown run. Homewood went into the break with a commanding 28-0 lead and all the momentum.
The dominance continued in the second half. Goldstein notched his second score of the night on a Wildcat run in the third quarter, and Carson threw his third touchdown pass of the game to Kamryn Foster, who made a contested 14-yard grab in the end zone. Chapleau capped off the scoring early in the fourth quarter with his second touchdown run, pushing the lead to 49-0.
The Patriots piled up 329 yards of offense while limiting Jackson-Olin (2-2, 1-1) to just 101. The Mustangs managed only 32 yards in the first half and never found any rhythm against Homewood’s defensive front.
Carson finished 16-of-22 for 172 yards and three touchdowns.
The Patriots had five different receivers with at least 3 receptions, with Walden leading the way with 4 catches for 67 yards and the score.
Tate Burdeshaw added an interception for the Homewood defensive side.
Homewood has won 11 of the 12 previous meetings.
Homewood hosts Mountain Brook next week in what Berguson expects to be a tough matchup.
“Throw the records out the window,” stated Berguson. “It will be a big game.”
