With its streak of seven consecutive postseason berths on the line, Olathe East rolled past Blue Valley North 49-35 on Friday in Kansas 6A District 2 action.</p><p>The Hawks, 5-3, controlled the game on the ground, grinding out 362 yards in 47 carries on the way to the runaway win. But credit the Mustangs for making it interesting with a furious four-touchdown fourth quarter at the College Boulevard Activity Center.</p><p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve got backs that are really explosive, and Carter McEntee has been throwing the ball real well,&rdquo; Hawks coach Jeff Meyers said. </p><p>&ldquo;Our offense is just really clicking with the running game and passing game. We&rsquo;ve just got to bring our pass defense along.&rdquo;</p><p>BV North, 3-5, briefly drew within a single score when junior quarterback Danny Dolan threw his fourth touchdown pass &mdash; a 15-yard strike to senior Clay Richardson with 1 minute and 50 seconds remaining after recovering an onside kick.</p><p>BV North drew first blood thanks to a dose of trickery on back-to-back plays.</p><p>Facing fourth and 7 near midfield, the Mustangs sneaked backup QB Grant Adams in at punter and surprised the Hawks with a 13-yard pass to junior Montana Sharp for a first down.</p><p>&ldquo;We should have expected something like that, because we&rsquo;ve seen running backs passes on film, but we weren&rsquo;t ready for it there,&rdquo; said senior Hayden Groves, who rushed for 166 yards and scored three TDs.</p><p>The next play, starting quarterback Danny Dolan connected with senior Sean McLarren on a 41-yard flea-flicker touchdown deep over the middle.</p><p>&ldquo;Coach gave us a good talking to, and after that we came out and dominated,&rdquo; Groves said.</p><p>But the rest of the half belonged to East, which answered with a 12-play, 59-yard drive. Brandon Willingham tied the game with a 2-yard TD run.</p><p>The Hawks took the lead on the next possession when senior quarterback Carter McEntee dumped a middle screen to senior Hayden Groves, who weaved his way for a 19-yard TD.</p><p>East&rsquo;s lead ballooned again on its first drive in the second half.</p><p>The defense forced a BV North three-and-out, and three plays after that Willingham rumbled 43 yards, cutting back after scooting past the first wave of defense then outrunning eight Mustangs to the corner of the end zone.</p><p>Groves added a 12-yard TD run in the waning seconds of the third quarter as the Hawks built a 28-7 lead.</p><p>The real fireworks didn&rsquo;t start until a 49-point fourth quarter.</p><p>Both teams are now 1-1 in district play, but the Hawks get SM South next while BV North ends the regular season with a must-win game against BV Northwest.
