Warren Central’s defense intercepted three passes, recovered two fumbles and blocked a punt to pound Greenville-Weston 49-7 and remain in first place in Region 2-6A.

The Vikings cashed in on two turnovers and the blocked punt to go up 21-0 by the 10:21 mark in the second quarter. Greenville got its lone score on a 59-yard TD pass three minutes later but it was all Warren Central after that.

The Vikings scored 28 unanswered points to cruise to their biggest margin of victory since a 45-0 blowout of Greenville-Weston in 2006.

WC quarterback Carlisle Koestler had an impressive night hitting 7-of-8 passes for 180 yards and a touchdown. The score came on a 35-yard pass to Justin Williams that made it 21-0.

Greg King led a WC rushing attack that piled up 219 yards. King had 139 yards on 10 carries and that included an 88-yard touchdown scamper for WC’s longest play of the season.

Aaron Stamps had a two of his three 1-yard TD runs to boost the Vikings lead to 42-7. Back-up quarterback Alex Stevens had a 20-yard TD pass to Hastings Ragland with 7:15 left. C.J. Ross had WC’s other score off a 4-yard run and Michael Mason was a perfect 7-for-7 on PAT kicks.

The Vikings had 406 yards in total offense and held the Hornets to only 129.
