Drew Blackburn and Jordan Hunt each rushed for two touchdowns and more than 100 yards Friday night to carry Winfield in a 49-35 win over Hanceville.

The Pirates (6-1, 4-0 in Class 3A, Region 5) gained 442 yards in the game and needed all of it to outlast the Bulldogs, who fell to 1-5 on the season and 1-2 in region play.

Blackburn ran 19 times for 125 yards, while Hunt rushed 10 times for 100 yards and completed 14 of 16 passes for 181 yards and one touchdown.

Hanceville quarterback Branen Hurst completed 13 of 23 passes for 156 yards and three touchdowns. Isaac Weissend caught four passes for 82 yards and a touchdown, and also threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jose Orozco. B.J. Smalls rushed for 86 yards on 24 carries and scored on an 88-yard kickoff return.

The Pirates led 14-0 after the first quarter, scoring on an 80-yard punt return by Kyle Nixon and a 3-yard run by Blackburn. Weissend’s touchdown pass to Orozco — and Orozco’s point-after kick — cut the deficit to 14-7 with 7:11 left in the second quarter. Winfield struck back with 3:20 left in the half on a 7-yard run by Blackburn.

Kaine Yates caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Hurst with 1:44 left in the quarter to pull Hanceville within seven points, but Hunt completed a 32-yard touchdown pass to Dawson Cotton with 18 seconds left in the half to give the Pirates a 28-14 lead. Hunt added two touchdown runs early in the third quarter to increase the lead to 42-14.

Hanceville scored twice in the fourth quarter. Orozco caught his second touchdown pass — a 9-yarder from Hurst — with 4:59 left to play, and Weissend hauled in a 32-yard touchdown catch on the final play of the game.

The Bulldogs return home next week to host Oakman.
