Malcolm Green took the ensuing kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown to give Conway the 14-6 lead. The Tigers then scored three times in the second quarter to take a 35-6 lead at halftime.
Hughes ran it in from 22 yards out with 5:22 left in the third quarter to cut the lead to 35-12, but Conway extended the lead to 42-12 with a touchdown in the fourth.
Touchdown passes from Hughes to Dae'Quan Gibson (33 yards) and Walker (7 yards) in the fourth quarter wrapped up the scoring.
Hughes was 19-for-30 passing for 232 yards. Walker had 109 yards and Gibson had 73.
