Valley View 48, Brookland 14

JONESBORO — Valley View leaned on its ground game and a swarming defense to pull away from Brookland, 48–14, in a 5A East clash Friday. Junior RB/SS Carter Wallace powered the Blazers with three rushing touchdowns, including a 58‑yard burst, while QB Taylor Hyneman added a late scoring run and tossed a touchdown to QB/WR Levi Manning. Kicker Troy Dale converted six PATs.

Brookland struck first on an 11‑yard keeper by WR/DB Gabe Carter and stayed within a score until Wallace’s second TD closed the first quarter. The Bearcats opened the third with a takeaway and marched to a one‑yard Carter score, then RB/LB Mark Taylor barreled in for the two‑point conversion to trim the margin to 28‑14 before Valley View reasserted control.

Carter finished with 27 carries for 72 yards and two TDs; Taylor added 15 rushes for 78 yards as Brookland amassed 150 rushing yards (172 total). WR/FS Rickey Robinson and QB/DB Elijah Hammon sparked the Bearcats in the return game and on defense, with SS/WR Dot Aloh handling the place‑kicking.

Valley View’s front seven, keyed by MLB Ryder Wooten and OLB Rylan McNamee, repeatedly set edges and forced hurried throws, and WR Parker King complemented the run with chain‑moving grabs. The Blazers piled up touchdowns with a balanced attack and clean special teams. Valley View sealed it with Hyneman’s keeper midway through the fourth, then RB Max Taylor sprinted in as the horn sounded to cap the night convincingly at home.

Final: Valley View 48, Brookland 14.
