OKLAHOMA CITY -- On some plays a receiver is just in the zone and nobody has a shot at keeping him from scoring.

When Del City receiver Greg Johnson got the ball on a screen from quarterback Chazten Gonzales, he was in the zone.

The senior avoided six tacklers, reversed field and ran through tackles on his way to pay dirt in the Eagles’ 41-14 win over the Norman North Timberwolves.

The 68-yard touchdown pass reception was his second on the night, Gonzales’ third of the night and one of four touchdown passes that was over 40 yards – two to Johnson. Gonzales finished the night with more than 400 yards and five touchdowns.
