Quarterback Nolan Henderson ran 76 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage and Smyrna High never looked back, rolling to a 56-6 win over Howard in a nonconference football game on Monday night.

It was the fourth time this season that the Eagles (4-1) have scored 56 points or more in a game.

The contest, Smyrna’s homecoming game, was postponed on Friday because of a lightning storm.

Sophomore William Knight ran for three more TDs and three two-point conversions for Smyrna while freshman Stephen Whaley added a pair of TDs. Henderson threw for two touchdowns, a nine-yarder to Marquelle Bennett and a 23-yarder to Charlie Taylor.

The Eagles led 38-6 at halftime against the Wildcats (3-2).

Smyrna’s showdown with Sussex Tech, originally slated to be played on Friday, will now be played on Saturday at 6 p.m. The defending Henlopen Conference Northern Division champion Ravens are 2-0 in the North, 5-0 overall.
