BROOKHAVEN — A wild game in Lincoln County saw St. Aloysius and West Lincoln combine for 94 points, but it was the Flashes who put up a season best 56 in taking the 56-38 Region 4-1A win Friday.
The Flashes win, though, was dampened by an injury to senior receiver Chip Donald. Donald, who was hit in the back late in the second quarter, spent 30 minutes on the ground before being escorted off the field by ambulance. No word was given on his condition.
The Flashes (4-5, 4-4) took control of the winless Bears by rolling out to a 49-22 lead after three quarters. The Flashes piled up 400 yards rushing led by Chris Lewis, who ran for 139 yards and two touchdowns on runs of 34 and 3 yards. He also tossed a 15-yard TD pass to Clayton Holmes.
Richard Cowart scored on a 2-yard run and made seven extra-point kicks for St. Al.
Also scoring for the Flashes were Holmes on a 14-yard run, Justin Hosemann on runs of 8 and 6 yards and a 75-yard kickoff return by Luke Burnett. Hosemann finished with 117 yards on seven carries, and the Flashes ran for 400 yards as a team.
West Lincoln (0-9, 0-8) got scores from Jeremy Byrd on runs of 62 and 10 yards and one TD each from Jamie Rushing and Kolby Burns.

Jordan Jong scored Briarfield’s first two touchdowns on runs of 9 and 57 yards to answer a pair of Bayou scores.
Briarfield took the lead on a 79-yard touchdown pass from Jeffrey Graham to Jon Jon Taylor. The same pair hooked up again for a 52-yard pass later in the second quarter for a 28-14 lead.
CENLA 30, Tallulah Acad. 21
A 70-yard pass and an 84-yard blocked field goal return for a score led CENLA past Tallulah Academy Friday night.
The loss drops the Trojans to 1-8.
