Shiloh Christian 59, Siloam Springs 0
SPRINGDALE — Shiloh Christian seized Thursday’s 6A‑West matchup from the opening series and never let go, blanking Siloam Springs 59–0 at Champions Field. The Saints led 29–0 after one quarter and finished the job with a balanced, efficient attack.
Junior quarterback Cole Creighton directed the early surge, throwing two first‑quarter touchdowns, while senior tailback Griffin Mason powered the ground game with 107 rushing yards and three scores. Chandler Kemp added 120 receiving yards and a touchdown — and even tossed a touchdown on a gadget play. Zane Sluyter hauled in two touchdowns, and Westin Huckeba snagged another.
Siloam Springs found positives in the kicking and coverage phases. Junior Mason Short (RB/P) repeatedly flipped the field — including a punt downed at the Saints’ 8 — and the Panthers’ defense produced a fourth‑down stand inside the 15 late in the first half. With freshman QB Titus Benson sidelined, sophomore Boaz Benson — a starting defensive end — shouldered emergency snaps at quarterback and helped the Panthers string together early first downs with Short and Ryan Estacio out of the backfield.
