EVERETT — C.J. Milburn ran for a pair of first-half touchdowns as Archbishop Murphy built a big early lead and crushed Black Hills of Olympia 56-7 Friday night in a first-round Class 2A football playoff game Friday night at Goddard Stadium.

The second-ranked Wildcats (11-0) from Mill Creek, who didn't make the playoffs last year after forfeiting eight games because of an ineligibility ruling, will meet ninth-ranked Centralia next week in the quarterfinals. Centralia beat Sequim 21-14 Friday night.

Milburn carried six times for 69 yards, Alex Martinez added 72 yards on five carries and Randy Gordon had 70 yards on eight carries as Archbishop Murphy ran at will against 10th-ranked Black Hills (7-4).

Jake Downs' 50-yard touchdown pass to J.D. Melton put the Wildcats in command 28-7 at halftime.
