KODAK – Gatlinburg-Pittman started fast on Thursday night and took a 41-0 halftime lead, en route to a 48-6 win, keeping the Highlanders in position to finish second in Region 2.<\/p>\n

Gatlinburg-Pittman hadn’t played in three weeks, due to a bye week followed by a COVID forfeit by Hampton last week.<\/p>\n

“It helped that we got out to a big lead, but we haven’t played recently, so we’ve got to play,” Gatlinburg-Pittman head coach Brad Waggoner said. “We’ve just got to keep getting better. I was really pleased with the way we came out, but we gave up a little too much on defense at times. If we keep getting better every week, we’re going to be a tough out at the end of the season.”<\/p>\n

Gatlinburg-Pittman quarterback Brady Hammonds had a career game, throwing for 351 yards and five touchdowns on 20-of-28 passing.<\/p>\n

The sophomore put Gatlinburg-Pittman on the board on the first play of the game with a 59-yard touchdown pass to Houston Byrd for a 6-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Hammonds tossed his second touchdown of the night on a 16-yard strike to Carlos Orr. The two-point conversion failed and the Highlanders held a 12-0 lead after one quarter of play. Orr was in his first game back since suffering an injury early in the season opener against Seymour.<\/p>\n

“We haven’t had a full team the whole entire season, so we finally got all these guys back,” Waggoner said.<\/p>\n

Early in the second, Hammonds tossed his third touchdown pass, and second to Orr, from 8 yards out. For the third time of the night, Gatlinburg-Pittman’s PAT failed, leaving them with an 18-0 lead.<\/p>\n

A 48-yard touchdown pass from Hammonds to Orr would make the score 26-0 with 8:12 left until halftime. The two-point conversion from Hammonds to Reese Cole was successful.<\/p>\n

With just over four minutes left until halftime, Levi Hill went into the end zone for a 4-yard score, putting the Highlanders ahead 34-0.<\/p>\n

Hammonds threw his fifth touchdown of the night on a 70-yard pass to Whit Whaley with 1:07 left in the half, putting Gatlinburg-Pittman ahead 41-0 at halftime.<\/p>\n

Northview Academy finally got on the board at the end of the third quarter with a drive that spanned the entire quarter, thanks in part to a running clock, as William Kirby went into the end zone for a score. Gatlinburg-Pittman led 41-6 after three quarters.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got to get off the field,” Waggoner said. “We’ve got to play the same way whether we’re up by a bunch or not. We wanted a shut out, but you’ve got to give them some credit because they made some plays on that drive.”<\/p>\n

The Highlanders would put one more score on the board in the fourth quarter to win 48-6, all but setting up a battle for second-place in Region 2 with Pigeon Forge on October 28.<\/p>\n

Gatlinburg-Pittman (5-3, 3-1 Class 3A Region 2) will host Scott (1-6) on Friday night. The Highlanders have now won four in a row since the loss to Loudon on September 9.<\/p>\n

Northview Academy (2-7, 0-4 Class 3A Region 2) will play its final game on October 29, when the Cougars host Union County (2-4, 0-2 Region 2) on Senior Night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
