Blazers dominate with Wallace’s three touchdowns

Valley View 35, Paragould 0

PARAGOULD — Valley View opened 5A-East play with a 35-0 win over Paragould, leaning on a three-touchdown night from junior RB/SS Carter Wallace and a defense that smothered the run and created short fields. Senior WR Camarion Davis opened the scoring with a jet sweep on the Blazers’ second snap, and junior QB Taylor Hyneman added a keeper to make it 14-0 before halftime.

Wallace, a 6-0, 200-pound standout, capped two second-half drives — including a burst up the middle after the break — as Valley View’s offensive line (C Judd Miles, G Houston Walker) controlled. WR Parker King hauled in a deep ball to the 2 to set up Wallace’s fourth-quarter score, and senior MLB Ryder Wooten keyed a front seven that recorded multiple tackles for loss.

Paragould’s defense kept the Rams in it for the first half, forcing punts after a turnover and stringing out several perimeter runs. Junior DE Kevion Padgett and junior TE/DE Thomas Henry generated pressure, while seniors Izaih Flowers (WR/DB) and Jack Starnes (RB/DB) made open-field stops and moved the chains on short receptions. Senior QBs Reid Phillips and Avery Dearing split time; sophomore back Dillion Burgess provided a late spark with a string of physical runs.

Valley View (1-0 in 5A-East) never permitted a sustained Ram drive and iced the game with a two-point plunge after Wallace’s final score to trigger the sportsmanship rule. Paragould will look to regroup before an important conference road test next week in a key league matchup Friday.
