PRESCOTT, Ark. -- It was just another day at the gridiron for the Prescott Curley Wolves.

Prescott jumped on the team from Lake Village, 22-0, at the first break and blew the game open with a 28-point second quarter to put the game away at half, 50-6.

He finished with 71 yards rushing as the Wolves rolled up 183 yards on the ground and another 153 through the airwaves. Hopson scored on runs of 8 and 17 yards, both in the first half as the hosts took command and never looked back.
The Prescott defense did its job, forcing three turnovers (two interceptions, one fumble) and held the Beavers (3-8) to 213 yards of total offense.
