Whale Branch took care of business in the first of two non-region tune-ups before the Class 1A playoffs, routing Estill 56-6 on the road Friday night.
The Warriors unleashed Jakhi Pusha, who started at quarterback in place of Kai’Shawn Jenkins (arm) and gashed the Gators for three rushing touchdowns and threw TD passes to Keith Chisholm and Ja’darius Garrett.
Joseph Hicks added a touchdown run for the Warriors, while Kamron Holman returned an interception for a TD, and Travon Sumpter returned a kickoff for a score in the fourth quarter.
Whale Branch (5-1, 3-1) wraps up the regular season at Allendale-Fairfax next Friday.
