</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[ Logan Rogers racked up 177 yards rushing and a pair of touchdowns as Carmi-White County put away Elverado-Trico early in a 57-14 victory in Elkville on Friday.
C-WC scored the first five touchdowns of the game before E-T's Dalton Porter broke a kickoff return for a 70-yard touchdown stopped the bleeding with 3:17 to go in the first half.
Carmi's five straight scores all came on the ground, with Rogers scoring twice and Cameron Gunter also reaching the end zone on two separate occasions.
The success was short-lived for the Falcons, however, as Carmi found the end zone two more times before the half to extend their advantage to 49-8, ensuring a continuous clock in the second half.
Curtis Compton would add a late touchdown run from five yards out to give E-T their other score.
Porter led all ball carriers with 182 yards on just 14 carries in the losing effort for Elverado-Trico, Brian McClanahan had 11 yards on 3 attempts.
Quarterback Alex McGrill rushed 10 times for 30 yards and completed 5-of-15 pass attempts for 40 yards. Wade Bowlin, Steven Batteau and Dakota bayles hauled in passes for the Falcons, who lost four fumbles in the game while totalling 270 total yards of offense.
The loss drops Elverado-Trico to 0-8 on the season, and the Falcons will hit the road to face Christopher-Zeigler-Royalton in week nine to close out their schedule.
