Woodard carried the ball 24 times in the win, only the second in six outings for the Wildcats, who were preseason No. 6 in the NAIA poll and a national quarterfinalist a year ago.
Pikeville fell to a dreadful 1-5.
Bethel wasted no time getting on the scoreboard, going 51 yards on seven plays with the final 41 coming on a pass from senior quarterback Chad Lamping to senior wide receiver Will Cripps. It was the first of two touchdown passes Lamping would throw to Cripps and the PAT by senior Sean Fraser made it 7-0 with only 2:15 off the clock.
The Wildcats led 14-0 after Woodard’s one-yard scamper ended an 89-yard drive in the first period, and it was 21-0 after freshman tailback David Brown scored from 13 yards out to close an 83-yard drive.
Pikeville got on the scoreboard late in the first half when junior Kyle Chilton made a 24-yard field goal.
The third period was more of the same for Bethel. Lamping hit senior Joevaris Carter on a five-yard pass, Brown scooted in from five yards out and Lamping found Cripps for 21 yards to make it 42-3 by the end of the third period.
Pikeville scored its only touchdown on a 15-yard pass from sophomore Dan Wideman to freshman Lamar Brown with 12:48 left to close out the scoring. It capped a seven-play, 70-yard drive.
Woodard’s efforts led a 254-yard rushing day for the Wildcats, who averaged 6.2 yards per carry. Lamping was 12-of-22 for 191 yards with three touchdowns. His favorite target was Carter, who caught five for 79 yards, and Cripps, who had 71 on only three catches.
Pikeville, meanwhile, had a season-best 206 yards on the ground, with Wideman picking up 78 on 16 carries. Senior tailback De’Rail Sims finished with 65 yards on only nine carries.
In the air, Wideman was 17-of-32 for 182 with two interceptions and the one score. Montrel Jones caught five for 40 yards, while Brown’s touchdown was one of four catches for 58 yards.
With the five catches, the freshman Jones has 40 on the season, tying him for the second-most in a season since Pikeville began varsity football in 2001. He is 11 shy of teammate Justin Lamb’s single-season mark of 51, set in 2006.
Bethel’s defensive attack was led by defensive back Johnathan Deberry’s 10 tackles. Nine of those were solos and he had one of Bethel’s interceptions. Junior DB Antonio Wardlow had eight tackles, all solos, with one tackle for loss, an interception and a blocked field goal.
Pikeville got six tackles from junior linebackers DeVaughn Whitley (four and two) and Kenny Harris (two and four). Harris added a sack for a nine-yard loss.
