Lakeland had three different ways to throw off St. Maries Friday night.
The running of Casey Phelps and Chad Stutheit, and the passing of Joe Finley allowed the visiting Hawks (6-0, 4-0) to topple St. Maries 47-13 in the Intermountain League.
Phelps rushed for 117 yards and two touchdowns on nine carries. Stutheit rushed for 101 yards and a TD on 10 carries, and returned a kickoff 76 yards for another score.
