The Tigers rolled up 515 yards of total offense and overwhelmed Point University 66-34 at Raines High School in the opener for both teams Saturday.

Ja’Tavius McCardell’s interception return went to the 4-yard line, the Tigers sacked Point’s punter on his own 12 and a Tony Goodman kickoff return of 56 yards gave EWC a short field of 40 yards.
