KENNEWICK — On the first brisk night of the season, it took the Kennewick Lions a few series to get warmed up. But once they did, they never cooled off.

Grant Woods ran for 198 yards and a career-high four touchdowns, and the Lions defense pitched its third shutout of the season in a 35-0 rout of the Pasco Bulldogs on Thursday night at Lampson Stadium.

The win sends the 10th-ranked Lions (8-1, 6-1 CBBN 3A) into the postseason with just a single loss. Kennewick will entertain the No. 2 seed from the Greater Spokane League -- the winner of tonight's North Central-Mount Spokane game -- at 5:30 p.m. next Friday at Lampson ahead of Kamiakin's game against the CBBN No. 4, either Hanford or Eastmont.

Pasco (0-9, 0-7) kept the wraps on Woods during Kennewick's first two series, limiting him to 9 yards on his first six carries. But on the first play of the Lions' third possession, the speedy senior charged through a lane opened by Garrett Wilz and Clayten Ayres and raced 44 yards for the score.

The carry sent the CBBN 3A rushing leader over 1,000 yards, but he said that was the last thing on his mind.

"I was just thinking we need the score," said Woods, who sits with 1,168 yards and 14 rushing TDs. "They shut us down the first two drives."

It was just the start of a big night for the Kennewick offense, and a long one for the Bulldogs.

Woods scored on a 10-yard on the next possession and added 48- and 7-yard scores in the second half. Bryce Leavitt hit Brock Schuh in stride on a seam route for a 31-yard score at the end of the first half for a 21-0 lead.

The Lions went on to roll up 364 total yards, 286 on the ground.

"The line does a good job, and Grant runs hard," said two-way lineman Jarod Gonzales. "He doesn't stop. He fights for those extra yards."
