Shreveport – The Centenary football team played its best all-around game of the season as the Gents defeated the Lyon College Scots by a score of 35-14 in a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference contest on Saturday evening at Atkins Field.
The Gents (2-3, 2-1 SCAC) were back on their home field for the first time in nearly a month and made the most of it against the Scots (1-4, 0-3 SCAC). Centenary improved to 1-1 at home after falling 43-20 to Hendrix College on Sept. 7 at Atkins Field. The Gents and Scots will meet again this season, on Oct. 19 in Batesville, Ark.
Centenary rolled up a season-high 443 yards of total offense, gaining over 200 yards on the ground and through the air and topped 30 points for the second time this season. Junior QB Zin'Tavious Smith (Coushatta, La.) had a big night as he threw for 219 yards and four touchdowns and rushed 12 times for 72 yards.
The Gents will face McMurry University at home next Saturday in another SCAC contest at 5 p.m.
