OAK HILL — The Rock Hill Redmen needed a big eraser for the mistakes they kept making.
Fumbles, interceptions and penalties all added up as the Oak Hill Oaks took advantage of Rock Hill’s mistakes and beat the Redmen 38-0 on Friday.
A bad snap on a punt gave the Oaks the ball at the Rock Hill 8-yard line and set up a 1-yard run by Garrin Stiltner. Elijah Starr caught the conversion pass and it was 8-0 at the 7:53 mark of the first quarter.
The Oaks (3-0) got another break on a punt as the ball hit a Rock Hill player and they recovered at the 13-yard line. Three plays later Matt Gilliland went 6 yards for the touchdown and Stiltner’s conversion run made it 16-0 with 4:13 left in the half.
Jordan Fisher intercepted a pass on Rock Hill’s next possession. Stiltner then hit Fisher with a 32-yard touchdown pass with 1:48 left in the half and the conversion pass to Starr opened up a 24-0 lead.
Oak Hill took over on downs at the Rock Hill 43.
Stiltner ran 19 yards as time expired, but a late hit gave the Oaks an untimed down and moved the ball to the 12. Stiltner hit Chase Burdine with a scoring pass and it was 30-0 at the half.
Willy Harris had a 63-yard touchdown run with 2:16 left in the third quarter for the Oaks’ final score.
Stiltner was 5 of 10 passing for 71 yards and ran 11 times for 34 yards. Harris carried 10 times for 102 yards as Oak Hill had 309 total yards.
Rock Hill (0-3) finished with 70 yards each rushing and passing. Gabe Marzicola was 4 of 6 passing for 70 yards and Austin Collins caught three passes for 66 yards.
