The Edmonds-Woodway football team made sure that a capacity homecoming crowd went home happy.
Seniors Eric Greenwood and Josh Heard each scored three touchdowns to lead the Warriors to a 48-7 mauling of Marysville-Pilchuck in a non-conference game Oct. 20 at Edmonds Stadium.
Edmonds-Woodway scored seven unanswered touchdowns in the first three quarters.
Greenwood took a punt 55 yards for a score to start the scoring binge. He then caught touchdown passes of 14 and 39 yards from junior quarterback Kyle McCartney.
Heard followed with TD runs of 4 and 1 yards and senior defensive lineman Casey Hamlett returned a fumble 25 yards for a score. Heard closed out the scoring in the third quarter with a 32-yard touchdown run. The senior running back finished with 118 yards on 15 carries. McCartney completed 6 of 10 passes for 121 yards.
Edmonds-Woodway (7-0 in the league 8-0 overall) limited Marysville-Pilchuck (1-6, 1-7) to 123 yards, forced three fumbles and intercepted three passes.
The Warriors, who already have clinched the division’s No. 1 seed to the quad-district playoffs, close out the regular season at 5 p.m. tonight (Friday, Oct. 27) against Jackson (4-3, 4-4) at Edmonds Stadium.
