GRANITE QUARRY — It was an unbeaten team against a winless team, and there were no surprises.

Nothing miraculous happened to even things up.

Robinson (6-0, 4-0) overwhelmed East Rowan with speed and talent on Friday. The powerful Bulldogs led the Mustangs 35-0 by the end of the first quarter and by 49-0 at halftime.

That was the final score, as a running clock for the entire second half enabled the teams to wrap this one up very early.

East kicked off to begin the game, and Robinson returned the ball to the East 25. On Robinson’s first play from scrimmage, Isaac Lee threw a touchdown pass.

East’s opening possession began with a promising keeper for 10 yards, but the second snap was a loss, and the third one was a complete disaster with a sack and fumble.

Robinson recovered the fumble at East’s 14 and scored quickly on a run by Na’ledge Wright.

East’s next possession included two more Robinson tackles for loss and an incomplete pass on third-and-14. East (0-6, 0-3) punted to the East 47, and Robinson scored through the air to make it 21-0.

East was able to return Robinson’s next kickoff to the East 47 and a screen pass gained about 6 yards to propel East past the midfield stripe for the first time, but the Mustangs couldn’t make a first down. They punted, and Robinson rolled 63 yards to make it 28-0.

After East was stopped yet again, the Mustangs punted again. This time Brian Rowe broke multiple tackles and ran it back 64 yards for a touchdown and a 35-0 lead.

In the second quarter, Lee added another touchdown pass and Wright tacked on his third scoring run.
