BIG SANDY — The first two weeks of the season weren’t too kind to Hot Springs, but the No. 5-ranked Savage Heat finally got into the win column Friday on the road versus Big Sandy.
Hot Springs jumped out to an eight-point lead in the first quarter, then turned on the jets and ran away for a 45-0 win.
The Savage Heat suffered consecutive tough defeats to ranked teams to begin the season, first a 22-16 setback to D-G-S-G in Week 1, then a 43-40 loss to defending champion Centerville last week.
Still regarded as a 6-Man contender, Hot Springs scored 16 second-quarter points to pull away from Big Sandy on Friday. It added eight in the third quarter and tacked on 13 more in the fourth.
