Rock Bridge’s Scott Concannon runs the ball down the field for a touchdown during the first quarter of the Providence Bowl. Concannon rushed for 324 yards and four TDs in the 48-0 win.

For those interested in a 12th version of the horror flick, the top-ranked Rock Bridge football team just wrote the next script.

Friday the 13th: The Massacre at Mizzou.

Facing cross-town rival Hickman last night on Faurot Field for a Friday the 13th edition of the Providence Bowl, Rock Bridge scored on its first three plays from scrimmage. The Bruins added a fourth touchdown on their fifth offensive play and, playing the starring role of Jason, Scott Concannon carved up the Kewpies for 324 yards and four touchdowns on only eight carries in a 48-0 slaughtering of Hickman.

"This is like a game you dream of," Concannon said, obviously speaking from the Bruins’ point of view. "It was a great team effort."

Concannon scored on runs of 71, 82, 73 and 98 yards to lead a Rock Bridge offense that accumulated a season-high 617 yards of total offense. The Bruins (7-0) were unstoppable from the first time they touched the ball.

Similar to last year’s game, a 21-18 upset of the defending state-champion Kewpies, Rock Bridge scored on its first offensive play. This time, quarterback Logan Gray found senior receiver Brandon Gerau wide open at midfield for a 77-yard reception 22 seconds into the game.

"We came out and knew we were going to score on that first play, just like last year," Gray said. "We did, and we just kept it rolling from there with some more great play calling, and things busted wide open."

After a three-and-out by the Kewpies (2-5) on their first possession, Concannon took off on his first touchdown run - a 71-yard jaunt - at the 8:53 mark. The rout continued on the Bruins’ next possession when Gray scrambled out of trouble and floated a pass in the direction of a wide-open Scott Thompson, who ran under the ball near midfield and kept his balance for an 83-yard reception to make the score 21-0 at the 7:34 mark.

"I saw the ball floating in the air, and I was going to kill myself if I dropped that," Thompson said. "All I saw was green ahead of me, and I just kept going."

To recap, the Bruins totaled 231 on their first three plays; Hickman had 12 yards on its first six snaps.

The Kewpies finally made their first defensive stop when Concannon was hauled down on a 9-yard reception on Rock Bridge’s fourth possession. On the next play, however, backup tailback Andrew Adams ripped through a hole on the left side and down the Rock Bridge sideline for a 76-yard score.

After five offensive plays and with 2:41 remaining in the first quarter, Rock Bridge led 28-0.

"We didn’t expect to score on four of our first five plays," Rock Bridge Coach A.J. Ofodile said. "It got kind of ridiculous. One was a broken play, and Scott did a lot by himself. … It was a great offensive day. Finally everything clicked for us."

Off to another rough start - Hickman has now been outscored 94-7 in the first quarter this season - the Kewpies finally mounted an offensive drive in the second quarter when junior running back Rob Heath entered the game. Heath, Hickman’s leading rusher and scorer, sat out the first quarter because of a discipline issue but keyed a 14-play drive that resulted in a missed 25-yard field goal by Nick Timberlake with 2:31 remaining until halftime.

Two plays later, Concannon was back in the end zone, tearing down the right side this time for an 82-yard TD to make the score 34-0 at the break. Behind the overpowering play of Jeremy Guier, Jason Reddy, Clay Minchew, Drew Shufeldt and Garrick Williams in the trenches, Rock Bridge out-gained Hickman 395-93 in the first half.

"You have to give them some credit," Hickman Coach Jason Wright said. "I think they’re an outstanding football team with outstanding players. They’re physical up front, and obviously, we couldn’t do anything with their running game. All Scott Concannon needs is a crease."

Concannon enacted the continuous clock mercy rule with 5:41 left in the third quarter when he ripped off a 73-yard touchdown run. Concannon thought he was done for the night, but the Northwestern recruit was called back to the field late in the third quarter when Stephen Peel’s 49-yard punt rolled out of bounds at the Rock Bridge 2-yard line.

Gray actually called a timeout to get Concannon in the backfield to provide the Bruins some breathing room, and the 5-foot-10, 190-pound speedster did more than that by bursting through a hole on the left side and outrunning a Hickman defender that appeared to have an angle on him for his area-leading 19th touchdown of the season.

"That was my call," Gray said, proudly. "We wanted to get Scott in there to make sure we didn’t get a safety, and he ends up taking it 98 yards for a touchdown."

Gray, a Georgia recruit, added 224 yards on 5-of-9 passing.

Hickman finished with 128 yards of total offense. Heath rushed 20 times for 65 yards, and Byron Bundy caught three passes for 33 yards. Safety Anthony Sims came up with the defensive play of the game when he stripped the ball from Bruins tight end Aron White after a 45-yard reception.

Sims’ play was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise horrific performance by the Kewpies, who still lead the all-time series 6-4.

"They’re a good football team, but they’re not 48 points better than us," Hickman senior center/linebacker Lucas Little said. "If one guy on the defense doesn’t do his job, the whole defense breaks down. If one guy on the O-line doesn’t block, the whole play breaks down. That’s that."
