Palisades’ first play was a failed snap, followed two downs later by a 35-yard punt that set up a 17-yard touchdown reception by Morrison to give Hough a 14-0 lead.

The Pumas went three-and-out on their next possession, leading to a 22-yard punt return by the Huskies and a 42-yard touchdown run by Morrison to extend the lead to 21-0 with 4:45 remaining in the first quarter.

Hough added another score before the end of the first and tacked on four more touchdowns in the second quarter. Palisades managed one score before halftime and entered the locker room trailing 56-7.

The game featured early trash talk and a minor scuffle between the teams during warmups, but the matchup was a one-sided rout from the opening whistle.

The Huskies won the game by a final score of 63-7 on a chilly night at Hough.

Hough will face the winner of West Forsyth and Mallard Creek in the third round.
