Crest opened up a 27-0 lead at halftime and cruised to a 34-0 win over Q-Foundation at Sid Bryson Stadium on Friday night.

The Chargers (1-1) picked up their first win of the young season heading into next Friday’s game at home against archrival Shelby (1-1).

Crest senior running back Quortez Wright tallied two rushing touchdowns in the first quarter, running for scores of 4 and 11 yards. Sophomore quarterback Michael Gullatte connected with Demonte Wilson on a 25-yard score early in the second quarter, while Michael Smith capped the first half with a 7-yard rushing touchdown.

Smith tallied the final touchdown of the night for the Chargers on a 3-yard run with just under five minutes left in the third quarter.

Chargers freshman quarterback P.J. Brooks sustained a second-quarter injury and did not return. Crest was also without junior quarterback Gene Surratt, who was not dressed for the game.

The game marked the first-ever contest between Crest and Q Foundation, a Charlotte school who fields a team of players in grades 9-12 who are actively pursuing their General Educational Development (GED) certification. Q Foundation has previously suffered losses to Burns (2010) and Kings Mountain (2009). Q Foundation will be back in Cleveland County on Sept. 16 to face Burns.
