</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[ Senior Ethan Healy had a 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and three rushing TDs Friday night, as coach Kurt Simon's Carmi-White County High School football team leveled host Elverado-Trico 55-7 in Black Diamond Conference football action.

The Bulldogs improved to 3-5 overall and 3-4 in the league. They will close out the season by hosting Eldorado Friday.

CWC scored four times in the first five minutes of Friday's game, taking advantage of three fumbles and a misplayed kickoff by the hosts, who dropped to 0-8 overall and 0-7 in the BDC.

Healy had touchdown runs of 28, 10 and 41 yards. Dylan Tomassetti had a four-yard TD run and caught a 27-yard TD pass from Brian Watts. Logan Rogers and Joey Buttry each scored from one yard out for the Bulldogs.

Healy finished with 131 yards on only seven carries.

Four different Bulldogs attempted a pass in the game and three of them had a completion. CWC threw for 87 yards Friday after having racked up only 105 yards through the air the first seven weeks of the season.

The Falcons threw for 215 yards, 182 of them coming from junior Kyle Kempfer, who took over under center for Clay Salinas in the second period. Kempfer was 13-for-20 with one touchdown (a seven-yarder to Teagan Armstrong in the second quarter).

The Bulldog defense, though, held the Falcons to just two net yards on the ground. Jimmy Smith had two sacks and Skylar Anderton one. Buttry was the team's top tackler with eight total stops.

Healy's kickoff return was one yard shy of the school record, set in 2001 by Kevin Wolff, who now serves as an assistant coach for the team.
