High school football: Glenbrook heading into playoffs with a three-game winning streak after rout of Arcadia

by Russell Hedges

The Glenbrook Apaches will head into the playoffs with a three-game winning streak.

Glenbrook routed Arcadia 59-8 Friday night at home.

The Apaches finished the regular season 5-5. They finished third in District 1-1A at 2-2 behind Haynesville and Cedar Creek

Glenbrook was No. 16 in the select Division IV power rankings updated at 6 a.m. Saturday.

The LHSAA will announce first-round pairings Sunday. If the current rankings remain as they are, the Apaches will host No. 17 St. Martin’s Episcopal (6-4) in the first round.

Arcadia closed its season 0-9.

Glenbrook got off to a bit off a slow start on defense. Arcadia put together a good drive on its first possession. But on fourth-and-12 at the 36, Ryan Reagan broke up a pass.

After that, it was all Glenbrook on both sides of the ball. The Apaches scored 59 straight points. Arcadia scored a fourth m-quarter touchdown after Glenbrook Coach James Thurman started giving everyone a chance to play.

Glenbrook led 38-0 at the half and a running clock was used in the second half.

The Apaches drove 66 yards for a touchdown on their first possession. Carson Powell scored on a scored on a 32-yard pass from Louie Collins.

Sam Scroggs made the first of his seven extra-point kicks and the Apaches led 7-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Thanks mainly to some penalties, Arcadia advanced inside the Glenbrook 10 on its second possession. But Aiden Nehls brought down Arcadia quarterback Darren Baxter for a big loss on third-and-goal from the 9 and a fourth-down pass fell incomplete.

The Hornets didn’t threaten again until their late touchdown.

Reagan gave the Apaches the lead for good on an 87-yard run on the play after the fourth-down stop.

Darron Hollingsworth took a short pass from Collins and turned it into a 46-yard touchdown. 

Reagan ran 38 yards for a touchdown after a high punt snap. Another high punt snap resulted in a safety and a 30-0 lead.

Hollingsworth caught a 52-yard touchdown pass just before the half and Hudson Glasscock scored a two-point conversion.

On Glenbrook’s first play of the second half, Collins hit Powell for 42 yards and a touchdown. 

The Apaches other two second-half touchdowns came on runs of 48 yards by Brayson Festervan and 57 by Collins.

Ace Rolen had an interception. Defensive lineman Channing Rainey was named the KASO-AM Player of the Game.
