The Perryville Panthers came through with a dazzling offensive showing in their season opener last Friday night, posting 510 total yards in a 53-8 drubbing of the Kent County team.

The Panthers' offensive yards were gained largely on running plays: 472 yards on the ground as opposed to 38 passing yards.

Leading the way for Perryville, who played at home, was Joe Peaker, who took the ball just 10 times, but still managed to ring up 205 rushing yards and score four touchdowns.

Eddie Escobar helped the winning cause with a pair of touchdowns and 155 yards on four rushing attempts.

Perryville's Ethan Griffen ran the ball twice for 35 yards scored one touchdown.

Quarterback Gabe Sherrod completed two of 10 passes for 38 yards in the air.

On the other side of the ball, the Panthers' Brian Matthews returned an interception for a touchdown.

Josh Ingram picked off two Kent County passes, while Sherrod and Gaige Padgett each notched one interception.
