MARIETTA – Pinecrest Academy rained on Homecoming night at The Walker School with big plays and stingy defense to open Region 6-1A play with a 35-0 victory Friday on the road. Paladins senior quarterback Ryan McCarthy led the way showcasing strong numbers in a small sample size by completing 3 of 6 passes for 105 yards and two touchdowns, all of which came in Pinecrest’s 28-point second half outburst. Walker couldn’t capitalize on opportunities in the red zone, committing two turnovers while missing a 31-yard field goal attempt in its three trips inside Pinecrest’s 20-yard line.
