CARMICHAELS — Senior quarterback Alec Anderson ran for three touchdowns, passed for two scores to Tyler Richmond as playoff-bound Carmichaels defeated Jefferson-Morgan 37-14 Friday night in the 95th all-time meeting between the Class A Tri-County South Conference rivals.

Carmichaels (5-2, 7-3) finishes in a three-way tie for second place in the conference. The Mikes will be the TCS’ fourth seed, based on tiebreaker points and head-to-head results with California and Monessen.

Anderson scored on runs of six, two and 17 yards, and threw TD passes of 54 and five yards. He also tossed a pair of two-point conversion shovel passes to Ambrose Adamson.

By passing for 210 yards, Anderson set the Carmichaels single-season passing yardage record, which was held by Brandon Lawless, who is a coach for Jefferson-Morgan. Anderson also rushed for 89 yards on 18 carries.

After a scoreless first quarter, Carmichaels reached the end zone twice in the final 2:54 of the first half, including the 54-yard bomb to Richmond, which gave the speedy senior more than 1,000 receiving yards for the season and the Mikes a 16-0 lead.

J-M’s Houston Guesman returned the second-half kickoff 81 yards for a touchdown to make it 16-6, but the Mikes answered with a long drive that was capped by Anderson’s two-yard run.

Freshman John Woodward had a 28-yard TD run and two-point conversion in the fourth quarter for the Rockets.
