The first round of the 2014 Class 4A playoffs proved to be a record-setter for the top-ranked Washington Warriors.
Coach Paul James' team led 64-0 at halftime in Wednesday night's game at Kingston Stadium and scored a school-record 78 points in a 78-13 thrashing of the Clinton River Kings.
Washington (10-0) will host Cedar Falls in the second round Monday night.
Clinton closes its season at 2-8.
Eight different Warriors scored touchdowns. Connor Vincent score three times and Nick Nassif added a pair.
James was pleased with the business-like approach his Warriors brought to the game.
"We were fundamentally sound and executed fairly well," James said. "Our players had respect for the game, had respect for the opponents and had respect for their teammates."
Senior quarterback Reid Snitker echoed his coach's sentiments.
"Everything was clicking and coach reminded us we set a record for points and were able to give experience to other people," Snitker said. "There is no question our team goal is to win state and I was pleased with our team.
"Personally, I want to get better," he added. "I was not as accurate (passing) as I wanted to be. My team gave me good protection in the pocket. I just have to make good throws."
Washington rushed for 420 yards and passed for 76 more while holding Clinton to just 132 total yards.
"Offensively, all the plays we ran, we tried to get better at them," James said. "On defense, fundamentals, reads and keys will continue to be our emphasis."
