The final chapter of the Watauga and Avery County rivalry went to the Pioneers on Friday night. Watauga was just too much for the visitors to handle as the Pioneers ran for over 400 yards and recorded seven rushing touchdowns.
Watauga held a 14-0 lead at the end of the first quarter and was up 35-0 at the halftime break.
Avery County was held scoreless until the fourth quarter when they got their first and only touchdown of the evening.
The Pioneers were led offensively by quarterback Jackson Greene. The senior, who has spent two games filling in for the injured Anderson Castle, completed 4-of-8 passes for 94 yards and a touchdown.
