Homewood-Flossmoor too much for Deerfield

Updated: September 3, 2011 1:49AM

It wasn’t how or if for Homewood-Flossmoor on Friday night. It was how many.

How many? A great many, as in yards, touchdowns and points.

The sixth-ranked Vikings rolled to a 47-0 victory over visiting Deerfield before about 1,500 fans in Flossmoor, advancing to 2-0. By the end of the first half, the Warriors (0-2) probably felt more like deer — in the headlights of a 16-wheeler — so one-sided was the run of the play.

The first-half numbers tell the story comprehensively: Vikings quarterback Tim Williams was 11 of 15 for 260 yards and four touchdowns including two to Gerald Butler, and ran for one himself. Homewood-Flossmoor piled up 338 yards. Deerfield managed 28, all on the ground, and didn’t post a first down.

In other words, except for the opposition, the second week of the season was the same for the Vikings as the first week, when they scored a 76-6 rout of Senn.

The real question, with improved Lincoln-Way Central next, is how good H-F can be.

“Not to denigrate the teams we’ve played, but we’ve got bigger fish to fry,” Williams said.
