FINAL: SOUTHLAKE CARROLL 48, NORTHWEST 7

Southlake Carrol clears another hurdle, turning what could have been a trap road game at undefeated Justin Northwest into a blowout win to move to 8-0.

SECOND HALF

Renda pushed the lead to five scores with another touchdown — this one on the ground — in the final minutes of the third.

The Dragons put the icing on the cake when Rex Duggan hauled a blocked Northwest punt back for touchdown to give SLC its winning margin.

FIRST HALF

The Dragons took a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter when Angelo Renda hit Brock Boyd for a 65-yard touchdown reception.

Davis Penn's touchdown run in the final minute of the first quarter helped send Southlake Carroll into the half up 28-7.
