The Pendleton Heights Arabians delivered a commanding performance Friday night, blanking rival Greenfield Central 45-0. The Arabians jumped out to a 28-0 halftime lead and never looked back, executing in all three phases of the game.

Talan Foster set the tone early with a 14-yard touchdown run to open the scoring in the first quarter. In the second, junior quarterback Brandt Gray connected with CJ Mitchem for a 62-yard strike to extend the lead. Sophomore Joel Weaver added to the total with an 8-yard scamper, and Gray capped the first half with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Cooper Sims.

The second half began in explosive fashion as Foster took the opening kickoff to the end zone. Dylan John’s extra point triggered a running clock, solidifying the Arabians’ control. Gray later added a 6-yard rushing touchdown, and John finished a perfect night kicking—going 6-for-6 on extra points and drilling a 36-yard field goal while adding two touchbacks.

Defensively, the Arabians were relentless. Rylan Keesling led the charge with seven tackles and constant pressure on the Greenfield quarterback. DJ McCrary and Jacob McKinley each forced fumbles, recovered by Eli Poore and Dee Heiden, respectively. Foster and Nolan Hobbs each snagged interceptions to complete the defensive shutout.

With the victory, Pendleton Heights moves to 10-1, chasing history and hosting a week 8 rematch with conference foe Yorktown. Pendleton won the first frame 24-22 in dramatic fashion. The game will kick off at 7pm at John Broughton Field.
