Jackson County (3-5, 3-2 Region 8-AAA) finished with 482 yards of offense, taking a 35-7 first half lead.
Layson Giles also had a big night at receiver for the Panthers, hauling in seven catches for 119 yards and two scores, while Adrian Parsons also nabbed a touchdown pass. Malik Tuck also rushed 13 times for 42 yards and a score.
Donovan Hicks led the Jackson County defense with nine tackles, while Chris Griggs and Todd Woodring each recovered fumbles.
