Ryan Beaulieu’s scores spark Panthers against Mustangs
Ryan Beaulieu rushed, received and returned an interception for a touchdown Friday, and Parker Rost tossed three TD passes to lead the sixth-ranked Palo Verde to a 50-14 home win over Shadow Ridge in the Northwest League opener.
Beaulieu opened the scoring midway through the second quarter on an 11-yard run, returned an interception 22 yards for a score three plays later and added a 47-yard swing pass from Rost for a score on the following Palo Verde (3-3, 1-0) drive.
Shadow Ridge (0-5, 0-1) kept the game close at the half behind two TD passes from Bakari Smith, but the Panthers scored 29 straight points to close out the game.
Lee Griggs scored on a 4-yard run in the third quarter and finished with 137 yards on 21 carries.
