Senior quarterback Jace Stuckey threw for 325 yards and five touchdowns to lead Class 2A, No. 4 Triton Central to an emphatic 55-27 victory Friday over Monrovia.

The visiting Bulldogs (3-1, 1-1 Indiana Crossroads Conference) built a 14-7 lead in the first quarter before the Tigers scored five straight touchdowns for a 42-14 halftime advantage.

Monrovia entered the game unbeaten after pulling out an overtime victory against then Class 2A, No. 5 Linton-Stockton in week three. And Triton Central lost at Class A, No. 1 Indianapolis Lutheran.

The Tigers roared back to life Friday with a pair of Stuckey (photo) touchdown throws to Mason Compton and three more to Brayden Wilkins. The Eastern Michigan recruit pushed his career passing yards total to 5,370 yards which surpasses the old mark of 5,116 yards set by Luke Stephenson (2008-2011).

Triton Central (3-1, 2-1 ICC) also got a Braden Brown 69-yard punt return for a touchdown that completed its scoring.

The Tigers return to non-conference action with a road trip to Indian Creek (1-2) on Sept. 15.
