CARROLLTON - The Carrollton Hawks took down No. 9-rated West Central 56-28 in Carrollton on Saturday afternoon in an offensive shootout.

Wade Prough threw a career high five touchdown passes and just one interception. Tyler Frye caught a career-high four touchdown passes. Cole Brannan had two rushing touchdowns and a 36-yard passing touchdown to Alex Bowker. Bowker had two touchdown receptions, including one from Brannan.
