ATHENS -- Trinity Valley ran roughshod over Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, totaling 645 yards in a 53-28 win Saturday at Bruce Field.
Josh Johnson rushed for 160 yards and scored three touchdowns. He was outdone by his teammate Chad Winbush, who carried 16 times for 202 yards and a touchdown. The passing game was also in full effect with Garrett Beal throwing for 175 yards, most of which went to receiver Jeremiah Williams, who caught six passes for 126 yards and a touchdown.
The No. 7 Cardinals (3-0) scored 10 or more points in every quarter with TVCC finding paydirt with big plays of 66, 85 and 39 yards while also driving for four more touchdowns and two field goals in the Southwest Junior College Football Conference opener for both teams.
NEO (1-2) trailed 9-7 midway through the first quarter after Jermaine Sherman scored on a 12-yard run.
The Golden Norsemen couldn't match TVCC's scoring pace, though, and were eventually left behind.
It took two plays for TVCC to get back in the end zone, thanks to a 66-yard touchdown hookup between Beal and Williams. The PAT was blocked, leaving the score 15-7 with 4:08 left in the half.
The Cardinals made it 23-7 in the second quarter on 4-yard by Johnson and a two-point conversion pass from Beal to Williams.
NEO drove 77 yards in 14 plays capped by a 30-yard touchdown run by Josh Morris. The Golden Norsemen were successful on their two-point conversion to make it 23-15.
Again, TVCC answered almost immediately needing three plays to make it 30-15 at halftime. Johnson broke loose for a 31-yard run followed by a 32-yard pass play from Beal to Williams. Johnson finished it off with a 17-yard touchdown run.
The second half featured more long-distance plays by the Cardinals.
The only negative for the home side in the win was TVCC being hit with 17 penalties for 149 yards. But the offense more than made up for it on this day.
In other Juco games, Tyler beat Cisco 49-35; and Navarro defeated Kilgore 42-17.
