WASKOM -- It's safe to say Waskom's defense stepped up against Frankston's high-flying offense.

The defending state champion Wildcats dominated the Indians on both sides of the ball Friday night, cruising to a 37-0 shutout win.

Waskom (5-0, 2-0 in District 8-3A Division II) held Frankston to minus-32 total yards in the first half, while the Wildcats controlled the ball with a dominating running game.

Chan Amie ran for 105 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries for Waskom, while quarterback Dylan Harkrider threw two touchdowns in the win.

Kaleb Haynes caught a touchdown, ran for two touchdowns and returned an interception 36 yards for a score. Waskom held Frankston to just three first downs and the Indians got into Waskom territory only twice in the game.

Keylon Johnson also returned a fumble 51 yards for a touchdown for Waskom, which at the time took a 29-0 lead in the second quarter.

Justice Bean led Frankston on the ground with 18 rushing yards.

Frankston fell to 3-2 on the season and 0-2 in district.
