Greenbrier 52, Morrilton 21

GREENBRIER — Behind a punishing ground game and timely throws, Greenbrier overwhelmed Morrilton 52–21 on Friday. Senior tailback Enoch Assan powered the Panthers with 33 carries for 221 yards and five touchdowns, while quarterback Jack Palmer went 14-of-24 for 274 yards and two scores, both to Trendon Moseley.
Greenbrier’s line set the tone early. Assan scored twice in the first quarter, and Palmer added a keeper before halftime. With Moseley’s leaping end‑zone grab just before the break, the Panthers led 25–0.
Morrilton answered after intermission. Quarterback Maddox Berry (18-of-28, 190 yards) sparked a 21-point third quarter, finding Dante Cox on a quick route and Jamarcus Sandidge twice—once on a tunnel screen that turned into a sprint and again on a corner route. Even as the Devil Dogs surged, Palmer and Assan steadied Greenbrier with a methodical reply drive and another red‑zone burst, stretching the margin to 39–21 entering the fourth.
The Panthers closed it out with Assan’s untouched run and Moseley’s acrobatic fourth‑down touchdown, a highlight‑reel catch that sealed Greenbrier’s third 50‑point night this season. Dominant finish. Kicker Ethan Rhodes converted multiple PATs with Ace Newland handling the holds.
Greenbrier’s defense complemented the offense with timely plays from the secondary, including Carter Shumate, while receivers Salter Mahan and Lucas Thompson chipped in chain‑moving grabs. For Morrilton, playmakers Sandidge, Cox, and return man Champ McNabb provided field position and bursts of momentum, but the Panthers’ balance proved decisive.
Greenbrier improves to 4–0, 1–0 in 5A‑West, while Morrilton falls to 3–1, 0–1.
