Wayne Christian took just 41/2 minutes to get on the scoreboard and it was smooth sailing from there Friday evening.

Austin Kornegay rushed for a career-high 254 yards on just eight carries during the Eagles' 58-28 shellacking of Colonial Carolina 1-A Conference 8-man football foe Lawrence Academy.

Kornegay rambled for four touchdowns, including a career-best 90-yard gallop midway through the third quarter. His other TDs covered 25, 37 and 37 yards.

Kanin Preskitt, quarterback DJ Waters, Tyler Weeks and Junior Tabe accounted for one touchdown apiece. Weeks hauled in a 35-yard TD reception from Waters with 9:57 left in the third period.

Waters ended the night 5 of 11 for 193 yards.

Wayne Christian piled up 597 yards of total offense, including 100 yards -- 45 rushing, 55 receiving -- from Will White.

The Eagles (3-6 overall, 3-3 CCC) are scheduled to complete a suspended game against Parrott Academy on Monday. The Patriots led 22-20 when lightning and heavy rains forced officials to stop the game.

Lawrence departed 0-8 overall and 0-6 in the CCC.
