Shelbyville Central’s Golden Eagles took a tough 57-7 loss to visiting Summit in a non-region matchup on Friday night.

The Spartans (9-0, 4-0) ranked No. 3 in the state in Class 6A, lived up to their billing by taking control of the game in the first half, including 28 points in the second quarter.

The Eagles (3-6, 2-1) lone score came on their first drive of the game capped off by a 10 yard touchdown pass by Gavin Donegan from Kade Cunningham. Ben Betzelberger connected on the point after.

Dustin Wade scored on a 1-yard run, Brandon King scored a pair of TD’s, Keaten Wade had a pick-six covering 98 yards, Jack Hill scored on a one yard run while Brady Pierce added three touchdowns and added a two-point conversion for the winners. 

“This is just one of those games we need to put behind us and move on,” Shelbyville Central coach Josh Puckett said. “Summit really took it to us. I don’t think we played well, but they did and give them a lot of credit.”

Cunningham was 6-of-15 for 98 yards and rushed for 43 yards on 11 carries.

Wade connected on 6-of-7 passes totaling 142 yards while adding 84 yards on six carries.

“Our defense has really played well all season for the most part, but we struggled tonight,” Puckett said.

The Eagles have wrapped up the runner-up spot in Region 3-6A and will close out the regular season at home verse Cookeville on Thursday night at 7.
