LEES CREEK — Glenn Peacock scored four of his five touchdowns in the first half Friday and East Clinton routed Fayetteville 62-12 in the first SBAAC National Division football game of the season.
Peacock ran for 232 yards on 15 attempts, a third of those rushes reaching the end zone.
East Clinton also had a pair of defensive touchdowns as Aiden Conger and Brody McCulley had interception returns for TDs. McCulley also had a 52-yard touchdown run from scrimmage.
The 62 points is the most in a single game for East Clinton since a 70-6 win over Clermont Northeastern on Sept. 6, 2002.
After one period it was still anybody’s game, the team’s tied at 6-6. But Lukas Runk broke the tie with a 1-yard plunge to paydirt and that started a 34-point second period onslaught that blew the game wide open.
Peacock raced 48 yards for a touchdown then the East Clinton defense took the spotlight with Conger snagging an errant Fayetteville pass and going 25 yards to the end zone. Peacock cashed in twice in the final minutes, once from 27 yards and another from 17. At the break, the Astros were running away with it, 40-6.
Peacock and the Astros remained hot early in the third with the senior running back going 6 yards for the first points after the break. McCulley ran 52 yards from scrimmage in the third and then took an interception 62 yards in the fourth quarter.
