Senior quarterback Kaleb Carson threw four touchdown passes and topped 300 yards — all in the first half — as Homewood High School cruised past Mortimer Jordan 49-7 in a Class 6A, Region 5 game Friday night. Chappy Chapleau added two touchdowns to close out the first half.
Homewood did not score until late in the first quarter — with 1:54 remaining — when Carson connected with Davis Griffin for a 56-yard touchdown. Just minutes later, Carson threw another long scoring pass to Tomon Felton. Less than two minutes after that, Chapleau ran a wildcat play for a 30-yard touchdown to put the Patriots ahead 21-0.
Chapleau later capped a six-minute, 73-yard touchdown drive to close out the first half. The Patriots added 28 points in the second quarter to lead 35-0 at halftime.
The second team played the entire second half for Homewood. Jack Myers threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Davis Litton, and Micah Jones added the final score on a 5-yard run. Mortimer Jordan got on the board late with a 12-yard touchdown pass.
“We just had to settle in and play our game." Homewood head coach Ben Berguson said. "I am really proud of the way our team played in the first half and we were in total control in the first half. Our defense was outstanding tonight, and I think we held them to 13 yards of offense in the first half and we had 350 yards in the first half.”
Berguson praised the defense, which allowed just one touchdown on the night and prevented any big plays.
“Everyone got to play tonight and we are playing to host a first-round playoff game,” he said. “We still have a lot to improve on and we still are having way too many penalties. We had a lot of dropped balls tonight, but we still got to get a little bit better each week.”
Looking ahead to next week’s Region 5 matchup, Berguson added, “We just have to improve ourselves. We got a lot to clean up, but yeah I am excited about this team.”
The Patriots (3-0) are on the road next week at Woodlawn.
