Centralia is on a roll going into the rest of its schedule.

One week after a 50-13 win against Macon at home, the Panthers blew out another Clarence Cannon Conference foe 54-12 at Highland (0-6, 0-3 CCC), which is their 13th straight win against Highland. Class 2 No. 5 Centralia (5-1, 3-1 CCC) finished with 418 total yards, including 316 rushing yards, while allowing 111 total yards.

Head coach Tyler Forsee said Highland only picked up on offense when Centralia had its backup players on defense so it was a dominant night all around.

“We did what we wanted,” Forsee said. “We threw the ball a little bit more tonight and had a couple passing touchdowns.”

Oliver Bohlmeyer was Centralia’s leading rusher this time with 76 yards and one touchdown on two carries, and Peyson Bryson followed him with 74 yards and one touchdown on three carries. Chase Kempker, Cooper Gehring and Grant Kendrick each ran for a touchdown on a night Centralia averaged 12.6 yards per carry.

Ethan Ross and Rex Bryson each threw for a touchdown as part of Centralia’s 102 passing yards. Luke Waltemate and Anthony Ford caught touchdown passes.

“I want as many guys to score as possible,” Forsee said. “Everybody puts in hard work and everybody does a job like everybody’s got to block. That’s what it’s about because it’s not a one-man show.”

Forsee said kids like Anthony Ford “do the dirty work” like blocking, so finding them opportunities to score is a way to reward them.

Centralia has won two straight conference games in decisive fashion and has two more coming up against South Shelby (1-5, 1-2 CCC) at 7 p.m. Friday at home before playing at the strong Palmyra (4-2, 1-2 CCC) next week. Forsee said the Panthers are in a good state now, especially because there have been a lot fewer injuries than last year, hence more continuity this year.

“It helps to get a little momentum,” Forsee said. “We are playing really well right now all over, and we have a lot of different guys touching the ball and contributing.”
