GRAHAM PUTS BEST FOOT FORWARD FOR PULASKI CO.

Shayne Graham kicked three field goals to move into a tie for second place on the national all-time career list as Pulaski County rolled to a 44-8 non-district victory over Petersburg on Saturday in Dublin.

Graham, who connected on kicks of 20, 22 and 32, has made 36 field goals in his career and is tied with Michael Courtright, who kicked for St.Mary's High School in Phoenix from 1983-85. Graham, who has made 15 this season, missed Saturday on efforts from 62 and 59 yards.

Graham was tied at 33 with Luis Zendejas, the kicker for the NFL's San Francisco 49ers, and Chris Gardocki, who played collegiately at Clemson and is the punter with the NFL's Indianapolis Colts. Phillip Doyle, the former Alabama All-American, owns the national record at 43.

Derrick Hunter ran for 101 yards on 14 carries and one touchdown as the Cougars (6-2) rushed for 310 yards.

Northside 37, Alleghany 14: The Vikings bolted to a 37-0 lead through three quarters and cruised to a Blue Ridge District victory over the Mountaineers in Low Moor.

Mike Bullock led Northside with 118 yards rushing on 20 carries. Mike Dillon was 4-of-7 passing for 91 yards and two touchdowns.
