Jerry Herron’s Williamsburg Yellow Jackets captured their seventh district title this season but ran into a Hazard team that was clicking on both sides of the ball during Friday’s second round action of the Class A playoffs.
The Yellow Jackets (7-3) fell behind 14-0 in the first half and never could get on track, falling, 29-0.
Williamsburg had went 88 games without being shutout. Lexington Christian shutout the Jackets, 51-0, to open the 2015 season.
After a scoreless first quarter, Hazard took a 6-0 lead after scoring on a five-yard run with 9:41 left in the first half.
The Bulldogs managed to build more breathing room right before halftime after a 25-yard touchdown pass increased their lead to 14-0 with 14 seconds remaining until halftime.
Hazard added even more cushion during its opening drive in the third quarter as a 67-yard touchdown run gave the Bulldogs a 28-0 lead at the 10:13 mark.
A 20-yard touchdown run with 5:39 left pushed Hazard’s advantage to 29-0.
