Kevin Wallace had two goals for his Bowling Green football team Friday night: win and stay healthy.
The Purples checked both those boxes. They used a big-play offense to force a running clock late in the second quarter on their way to a 43-14 victory against Marshall County in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs at El Donaldson Stadium.
Class 5A No. 1 BGHS (11-0) scored all 43 of its points in the first half against the Marshals (5-6). That allowed Wallace to take his starters out at halftime and keep them fresh for their second-round game next week against Christian County.
