The stat line didn't end there for Heard.
The senior also had 66 yards receiving for a touchdown and ran in a two-point conversion on offense, while racking up 11 tackles and a sakd on defense.
This was Heard's second four-touchdown game in the last three weeks, both in Woodland victories.
Woodland (2-4) took a 7-6 lead into halftime when quarterback Drew Triplett connected with Heard from 58 yards out with four seconds to play in the first half. The point-after gave Woodland the lead.
On the first play from scrimmage in the second half, Heard took the ball 60 yards for his second score to give Woodland a 13-6 lead. The two-point attempt was no good.
Ranburne would take the lead again at 14-13 with a Daniel Chambers two-yard touchdown run and a two point conversion with 2:15 to play in the third quarter.
That was Ranburne's last score, though, as the Bulldogs watched Heard run for two more touchdowns, the first from 55 yards out with 1:18 to play in the third quarter and the last from 19 out with 2:14 to play in the game.
Dustin Collier had 13 tackles for Woodland.

Place kicker Skylar Humphries was 5-for-5 in extra-point attempts and kicked a 32-yard field goal.

Leeds 51, Pleasant Valley 7
LEEDS — Junior quarterback Rush Perkins led a balanced offense, and Leeds' defense turned in another solid performance as the second-ranked Green Wave (6-0) celebrated Homecoming by clinching a playoff berth with a lopsided Class 3A, Region 5 victory against the Pleasant Valley Raiders (3-3, 2-2).
The Green Wave scored on their first possession on Perkins' 31-yard run with 8:22 remaining in the first quarter. Leeds erupted for 21 points in the final 6:10 of the second quarter to open a 28-0 halftime lead.

T.C. Central 43, Notasulga 8
NOTASULGA — The Talladega County Central Tigers got back on track Thursday night, defeating region foe Notasulga.
