Waller turned a rain-soaked Friday night into a showcase of its offensive firepower and defensive opportunism, overwhelming Cy Park 58-13 in a District 23-6A matchup.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bulldogs piled up 488 total yards while limiting Cy Park to 130, scoring on defense, through the air and on the ground to build a 30-0 halftime lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deshune McGary put Waller on the board first, intercepting a Cy Park pass and returning it 44 yards untouched for a touchdown with 6:26 left in the opening quarter. The PAT was unsuccessful.<\/span><\/p>\n

T.K. Gaines and the offense quickly followed. Gaines found Mahky Adams for a 34-yard touchdown with 1:40 left in the first quarter, then connected with Kevin Silas Jr. for a 29-yard score and Adams again for a 17-yard touchdown in the second. Omar Alvarez’s 36-yard field goal with 1:05 left before halftime completed the scoring for the first half.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gaines finished 15-of-21 for 242 yards and three touchdowns, while Waller’s ground game added another 246 yards.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bulldogs kept the pressure on after halftime. Gaines opened the third-quarter scoring with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Dre-dynn White with 9:35 remaining.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cy Park answered immediately when Basheel Ware returned the ensuing kickoff 81 yards for a touchdown. Waller gave the Tigers little time to build on the momentum, though, as Dariyan Smith broke loose for a 68-yard touchdown run on the Bulldogs’ next offensive play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gaines then connected with Glowin Mbobile for a 65-yard touchdown with 4:40 left in the third quarter, pushing Waller’s advantage to 51-7.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smith finished with 143 yards on 10 carries, including the 68-yard score. Gaines added 50 rushing yards on six attempts, while Mbobile led Waller’s receivers with five catches for 96 yards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Baylor See’s 3-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter accounted for Waller’s final points. Cy Park’s Edi Umana answered with a 12-yard touchdown run with 4:47 remaining, though the PAT was unsuccessful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cy Park’s offense struggled throughout the night. The Tigers produced 92 rushing yards and 38 passing yards, with Triston Whipple completing 2 of 9 passes for 25 yards. Umana led the rushing attack with 50 yards on four carries, while Williams Warren had 34 yards on 21 carries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Waller’s 488 yards were nearly four times Cy Park’s total, and the Bulldogs’ big-play ability was evident throughout the scoring sheet, with touchdown plays of 44, 34, 29, 17, 7, 68 and 65 yards.<\/span><\/p>\n

The victory moves Waller to 4-1 overall and 1-1 in District 23-6A. The Bulldogs host Cy Springs next Friday.<\/p>\n

Cy Park falls to 1-4 overall and 0-2 in district play and travels to Richmond Foster next Friday.<\/p>\n

Despite steady rain throughout the game, Waller’s offense and defense remained in control from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
