NEW PORT RICHEY - Gulf High continued to rewrite the history books Saturday night with a 59-22 drubbing of visiting Hudson High (2-5, 1-2).

The win pushes the Buccaneers' perfect record to 7-0 – best in school history – and was performed in front of a packed house during Gulf's "Alumni Invasion" weekend.

Explosive tailback Adrian Golden and quarterback Madison Burr led the Buccaneer charge, factoring in on all eight of Gulf's touchdowns – seven rushing and one passing.

Golden ran 18 times for 252 yards and four scores, while Burr added three touchdowns and 93 yards on the ground.

"We knew this was going to be a tough district game that we needed to win, so we just showed up, executed our plays and won the game," Burr said after the Class 3A-District 8 victory.

Gulf totaled 483 yards of offense on only 45 overall plays from scrimmage – a dominating average of 10.7 yards per play. Some early, hard-hitting and aggressive defense allowed the Bucs to jump on Hudson 20-0 midway through the second quarter.

Golden suffered an injury to his hand early in the second, but came back in a big way.

"I was thinking I might have to sit, but I just wrapped it up and got back in there," he said.

Dinged-up appendage aside, he immediately bolted 74 yards to the end zone on his first play back from the sideline.

Hudson quarterback Zack Wynn went 20-for-34 passing for 209 yards and two scores, but the Cobra passing attack was limited to sporadic success.
