Smith had two long touchdown runs to open the second half in giving Centennial a comfortable lead.
“Our offensive line and our running back were just great,” Centennial coach Dustin Forshee said.
The Bulldogs also scored twice on defense, including a 15-yard interception return for a touchdown from defensive lineman Keaun Jackson on a screen pass for the game’s initial points.
Ronaven Mokiao had a 45-yard interception return for a score in the final minutes, as Centennial improved to 2-0 on the season. Forshee expects them to compete for the Northwest League title. “This is the kind of the year we thought things would fall into place,” he said. “This is a special group. We think we can do big things.”
Centennial’s other points came on a Colton Tenney touchdown pass to Aaron Johnson.
