TIGERVILLE - In a game full of explosive plays, [player_tooltip player_id='1395046' first='KD' last='Hainsworth'] was responsible for most of the fireworks.   Hainsworth scored three first half touchdowns, racked up 145 yards of offense on five touches before the break, and helped lead Mountain View Prep to a 64-14 win over Union County on Friday.   "I feel like we played great," Hainsworth said. "I just try to come out and do my job and execute."   Hainsworth was brilliant before the half. He scored on the ground on a 22-yard reverse. He turned a screen pass from [player_tooltip player_id='1654910' first='Makorean' last='Anderson-Wallington'] into a 56-yard score. After Anderson-Wallington was banged up and left the game, Hainsworth's next touch on a catch from [player_tooltip player_id='1337021' first='Brody' last='Judd'] went 54 yards for another score.   It added up to a huge half, and staked the Stars to a 49-14 halftime advantage. And every time it seemed like MVP needed a big play, they turned to Hainsworth. That's just the way he likes it.   "I feel like I do better when the pressure's on me," he said. "Pressure makes diamonds."   Hainsworth, who added a 24-yard touchdown catch on the Stars' first drive of the second half, was just one of many sparkling performers for MVP. Anderson-Wallington continued his incredibly efficient play, going 8-for-11 for 144 yards and throwing a TD to Caden Hunter in addition to the strike to Hainsworth. He added 73 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Juice Miller had a 16-yard gain to set up a score and tossed a 44-yard touchdown to [player_tooltip player_id='1672912' first='Chase' last='Richards'].   Defensively, the Stars were largely dominant in the first half behind a bunch of fast, physical guys. [player_tooltip player_id='1734594' first='Jacobie' last='Smith'] was flying all over the field, with two tackles for loss and a fumble recovery, and added an interception on the Union County's first drive of the second half. Kobe Leone, Cliff McDaniel, and CJ Lovelace all added sacks in the first half, while Lovelace also had a tackle for loss. MJ Jeter had several big hits, while Jamar Brown and Zavion Dawkins dominated the line of scrimmage at times. McDaniel was a monster all night, adding three more sacks in the second half.   Union County's offense largely consisted of three big plays in the first half. Dreshawn Mills returned a kickoff 97 yards to briefly give the Yellow Jackets an 8-7 lead early in the game, and had a 25-yard game to put the Union County offense into MVP territory for the first time all night in the second quarter. One play later, [player_tooltip player_id='1732648' first='Qa' last='Brannon'] ripped off a 40-yard run right up the middle for a score.   Defensively for Union County, [player_tooltip player_id='1593368' first='Jayden' last='Chick'] made several big stops up front, while [player_tooltip player_id='1818486' first='Kam' last='Fincher'] notched some big hits for the Yellow Jackets and notched an interception.   Hunter scored again for the Stars in the second half, with [player_tooltip player_id='1422557' first='Henry' last='Phillips'] adding a field goal.
