for 100 yards with two interceptions and ran for but 29 yards on 17 carries vs. the Bulldogs.

Marshall Harrison threw for 125 yards and both Isiah Ross, and Marquis Watkins had TD runs for Milan in the second quarter.

The game was a match-up of state-ranked teams as Milan was 10th in last week’s Associated Press Class 3A poll, while Tren-ton was fourth in 2A.WV 18, Ripley 15

The ninth-ranked (3A) Chargers survived a scare to remain unbeaten heading

into their 13AA showdown with Milan this week.

Le’Drell Starnes rushed for 95 yards, including a 27-yard TD run, while Parker Beal scored on a 19-yard carry and Dallas Callins slipped in from a yard out for the victors.

The game was not decid-ed until the final series, though, as the Chargers picked up two critical first downs after Ripley had pulled within 18-15.

Westview had two big red zone stops in the sec-ond half, stopping a 4th-and-goal from the three in the third frame and forcing a fumble on a fourth down play from the 15 in the final quarter.

a Jernigan fumble recov-ery into points after the intermission to take firm control.

Henry’s one-yard plunge capped a 14-play, 80-yard scoring drive to get the Twisters on the board in the opening minutes of the second stanza before Walton’s 23-yard jaunt cul-minated a 76-yard paydirt march that encompassed a dozen snaps and gave the Purple and Gold the lead for good with just under three minutes remaining before halftime.

Huntingdon had drawn even on a Zach Dodson 21-yard scoring run with 8:17 left in the second quarter, the touchdown sequence aided by a one of a handful of 15-yard penalties on the locals.

Each team turned the ball over on its first third-quarter possession with Stephens’ pick of Dylan Johnson representing a third giveaway and setting up Walton’s one-yard keep-er, widening UC’s lead to 21-7 at the 4:34 mark.

Henry bolted over left guard and into the clear on a 30-yard scoring gal-lop early in the final frame to make it a three-touch-down difference before the Twisters nickel-and-dimed the Huntingdon defense for 31 yards in 11 plays after Jernigan’s fumble recov-ery, before JaVonte Moffatt

scooted around left end and into the endzone from four yards out midway through the fourth quarter.

The last of Cace Cook’s five perfect PATs provided the final margin.

“The turnover we had and the penalties, they’re drive-killers,” Bowling went on to say. “We’ve got to clean those things up. We have to come to practice every day, wanting to get better that particular day in some area. That will be our focus.

“Other than the flags and the turnover, I’m really pleased. We were physical on both sides of the ball and our defense was lights out against a very unortho-dox opponent to prepare for. That goal line stand at the end of the game was something we needed, and the kids took great pride in that. We were opportunis-tic with the turnovers, too, and that takeaway margin is something we’ve real-ly focused on in the first month of the season.”

Moffatt had a team-best eight solo tack-les and forced a fumble from his secondary post to headline UC’s defen-sive effort. Tackle Jamie Pirtle had eight total stops, as did linebacker Jamison Blackwell.

of those called on one series.

“The calls were so ridic-ulous that they started to be almost comical,” Knott said. “If we had a back go more than 10 yards, there would be a holding pen-alty. It almost seemed like selective vision on those. I was pround of our guys for playing through it.”

South Fulton got the rout started early, recovering a Pilot fumble on the game’s second play and covering 22 yards in just three plays for the lead barely two min-utes into the game.

After Cameron Smith coughed up the ball at his team’s own 22, SF called Cory Pinion’s number for eight and 10 yards before Anthony Cox took a jet sweep four yards for the score at 9:55 of the first period.

SF put up two more scores in the second quarter for a 20-0 halftime lead.

The first was a marathon as the Redmen needed 11 plays to go 44 yards, over-

coming two illegal block calls, a holding and a per-sonal foul.

Hunter Wade kept South Fulton rolling with runs of 14 and 25 yards, and Pete Winters five yards for the score at 8:09. Wade then added the two-pointer for a 14-0 lead.

Calling the jet sweep to four different ball-carri-ers and responding to yet another holding call, SF scored again at 1:03 when Kody Davidson hit Gevin Courtney with a 30-yard TD pass.

A failed onside kick attempt by Fulton County to open the second set up the Devils for their fourth score. Pinion and Skylar Grissom had runs of 20 and 15 yards, respectively, and then Pinion got the call two more times to finish the drive, his 13-yard scam-per followed by Grissom’s two-point run putting SF ahead 28-0 at 10:21.

Winters scored from 14 yards out at 2:35 of the third quarter, stretching the lead to 34-0.

Wade set up the score with three runs, including a 41-yard dash.

Pinion had runs of 15 and 10 yards, Wade went 11 yards and Cox matched his jersey number with a 29-yard carry to set up the sixth South Fulton score, a seven-yard keeper by Hayden Kelly at 9:21 of the fourth quarter. Grissom’s deuce pushed the differ-ence to 42-0.

Courtney’s second TDs came on a 14-yard carry with 2:42 to play in the game, Kelly providing the final margin with the ensu-ing two-point conversion run.

barely into the second period.

Yates had a 27-yard scoring run and caught a 23-yard TD pass from Quincy McDonald to give the visitors a 20-7 half-time lead, then tacked on scoring jaunts of three and 42 yards in the third and fourth quarters, respec-tively.

McDonald, who had a hand in three Lion touch-downs, threw his second scoring aerial to Austin Thomas in the third peri-od, then kept for a one-yard plunge early in the fourth quarter.

“It is almost like if we could get three good plays in row we can be alright,” Goltra added. “We get two good plays and then a bad one. We stuffed their run-ning back a lot until the second half. Their stud running back, we tackled him well in the first half. And then near the end of the game they put in a freshman (Rico Taylor) at tailback and he rips us up.”

The Rebels did tally twice in the final 5:41 of the contest.

Warner caught a pass from Rogers and dashed 62 yards into the endzone after a J.P. Jones fumble recovery, and then Mark Jackson then ran six yards for another TD with 4:37 to go.

Goltra was again blunt with the assessment of his team afterward.

“We do not deserve to win right now,” the head coach said. “But, we are practicing to win. That is the thing that is really tough. We are practicing very hard and the guys are not quitting.”

Warner had a full stat sheet for the Rebels defen-sively with six total tack-les — two for losses — an interception, a fumble recovery and two forced fumbles.

Fellow linebacker Brett Jackson was in on eight stops, while Cade Rogers made seven tackles and Hunter Brady a half-dozen.

GET A GRIP — Obion Central’s Brett Jackson tries to pull down Dresden’s Dylan Yates during Friday night’s game at Troy. The Rebel defense didn’t slow down Yates

very much, the Lions’ sophomore running back piling up 247 yards and four touch-downs on 23 caries while also catching a TD pass in Dresden’s 46-21 win.
