Just because the Bridgeport High football program makes winning look easy doesn't mean that it is.
 
Then again, the eyes do not often deceive when it comes to one of West Virginia's most dominant teams.
 
Junior Graham Vincent ran for a career-high 139 yards and two touchdowns, threw for a score, and added a 55-yard punt return for a touchdown in leading the Class AAA top-seeded Indians to a 56-6 verdict over No. 16 PikeView (7-4) at Wayne Jamison Field on Saturday afternoon.
 
Bridgeport (11-0) strides into the quarterfinals for a meeting with unbeaten Chapmanville, which will bring the program's first 11-0 team to Harrison County next weekend. The date and time will be announced on Sunday.
 
As for the Indians, their program's 72nd playoff win came the same way the first 71 did – a tried-and-true rushing attack that will never be past its high school prime no matter who's on the field.
 
Playing without leading rusher Gavin Williams, the Indians ran for 390 yards and hardly flinched, scoring touchdowns two minutes apart in the second and three minutes apart in the third.
 
Williams and his 1,752 yards rushing were sidelined upon tweaking his groin in practice this week. Despite the decision mostly being precautionary, there was no hiding that the junior accounts for almost 42 percent of the team's rushing attack. The Indians also played their fourth game without Gabe Martin, the second-leading rusher.
 
"We want to make sure we have depth and it's fun when they have the chance to go out the play football," said fifth-year head coach Tyler Phares, whose team has given up 14 or fewer points in all but one game this season. "
 
Vincent's emergence jump started Bridgeport's quest for a second consecutive state title and the 12th in school history.
