touchdowns.“We’ve been trying to

get the guys to play with high energy and high emo-tion,” Knott said, “but we can’t have those types of penalties. That could even-tually cost us a ballgame.”

After the previously-mentioned Moore-to-Grissom touchdown, Knott took a gamble on an onside kick, which the Redmen recovered at the FC 44.

Then, five plays and less than one minute later, Morris took the ball in from four yards out giving SF a 14-0 lead.

Moore had a one-yard touchdown run as well as the aforementioned 70-

yard touchdown pass, to give the Red Devils a 28-0 lead into the half.

A big kickoff return by Morris set up the offense with a first-and-goal from the eight to begin the sec-ond half.

On the second play of the drive Peter Winters car-ried into the endzone and enacted the running clock for the remainder of the contest.

Zaccious Mays (10 yards), Wade (six yards) and Corey Pinion (six yards) added the final three scores for the Redmen, pro-viding the final of 55-0.

“I talked to the team about the mountain that we have to climb,” Knott said. “We’ve shown that we’ve grown up some, and while we’re not where we need

to be, we’ve taken a step in the right direction.

South Fulton will have a tough test ahead of them this week when they travel to Union City to take on the Golden Tornadoes (2-1, 1-0) for a District 14A showdown.

Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. Friday from War Memorial Stadium.

It’s one of four league games featuring teams with 1-0 district marks against teams at 0-1.

Other 14A games Friday have Halls at Gibson County, Greenfield at Humboldt and Trenton at Lake County.

Fulton County is off this week and will visit Gibson County in two weeks. The Pioneers have lost 45 straight games.

the heart, and I like play-ing hard. But, we have to know when to play hard and when to be smart.”

The penalties would have been bad enough on their own. Throw in four turnovers, three that led to Lion scores, and OC’s hole was too deep to escape.

The biggest giveaway came in the opening min-utes of the second half after the Rebel defense had held Dresden to its fifth three-and-out posses-sion of the game.

A fumble on OC’s first offensive play gave Dresden the ball at the Rebel 33, and fullback Joey Caldwell needed just one carry to cover the distance and turn a 14-12 deficit into a 18-14 lead.

The final 21 minutes and 29 seconds were pret-ty much a formality.

OC punted away its next two possessions, leading to two more Lion TDs.

Caldwell sprinted 67 yards on a two-play, 79-yard series and freshman Dresser Winn threw a 30-yard scoring pass to Kyle Williams on 4th-and-16 to end a seven-play, 61-yard drive.

“In the second half, we just had just too many turn-overs right away,” Goltra said. “We were fired up and ready to come out, and we just came out flat with a turnover. After that, it

was over. Our heads went down. From that point, it was just sink or swim. We were just trying to sur-vive by fighting instead of playing football.”

Campbell was ejected after the third Lion score of the quarter, which put the home team ahead 32-14 with 59 seconds to play.

Both teams scored a touchdown — and lost a player to ejection — in the final period.

Dresden’s last score came on a two-yard Williams run to cap a 45-yard drive that saw the Lions gain 16 yards and the Rebels penalized 29.

OC scored with 2:42 remaining when quarter-back Blake Berner broke loose for 49 yards on a simple wedge play.

Turnovers kept the Lions in the game in a first half that was otherwise domi-nated by the Rebels.

OC ran 41 plays to Dresden’s 17 and out-gained the Lions 215 yards to 63 in the first half.

Ben Jones scored on runs of 46 and 28 yards in a half that saw Bryce Warner return from medi-cal problems to join with Jones, Jacob Hyde and Berner in leading a pun-ishing ground game.

But, a fumble on OC’s

first series was followed by a 46-yard run by Torres Washington to set up a Caldwell TD run.

Then, a lost fumble set up Dresden at the Rebs’ 13, where Winn capital-ized three plays later with a 13-yard TD strike to Colter Swafford.

“We had one silly turn-over right away,” Goltra said. “It was just a matter of taking the snap and see-ing the ball. It was noth-ing major at all, something we do a thousand times a week, and we still haven’t corrected it. Whenever we have a turnover, our defense seems to come out flat that first play after.”

could tell we really started wearing them down from about the eight-minute mark of the fourth quarter on.”

Quarterback Garrett Walton was solid at the controls of the Tornado offense, handling exchang-es flawlessly and complet-ing a pair of passes down-field — one a 39-yard touchdown to a wide-open Moffatt, the other a 21-yard gainer to his same teammate on 3rd-and-13 that was part of the first of two fourth-quarter scor-ing drives and kept the Mustang defense honest.

UC’s special teams were both critical and superior

to Huntingdon’s, too.Cace Cook was a per-

fect 4-for-4 in PATs and also booted a 29-yard field goal in the second quarter. His only punt went for 44 yards.

Smith’s 70-yard kickoff return set up Cook’s field goal, and the Twisters also benefited in the kicking game when Pirtle blocked an extra-point following Huntingdon’s second TD.

Now 2-1, the Tornadoes look to remain unbeaten in District 14A this week when Obion County breth-ren South Fulton visits War Memorial Stadium. And, Bowling cautioned his team about any possible hang-over from Friday’s victory with the Red Devils com-ing in off a 55-0 stomping of Fulton County.

“I want them to enjoy this one for the weekend, but then turn their attention to South Fulton immedi-ately on Monday. South Fulton has always played us tough, and just like that Week 1 loss we had against McKenzie, you have to put this behind you when the preparations start for your next opponent,” the coach said.

The Twisters can’t be caught looking ahead, either.

Following Friday’s game, UC visits Dresden, No. 3 in 1A, before cel-ebrating Homecoming against Gibson County.

GETTING A GRIP — Obion Central’s Jacob Hyde tries to break free from the grip of Dresden linebacker Austin Daniel during their game Friday night at Dres-den’s Rotary Field. Hyde wrestled his way

for 62 hard-earned yards and a two-point conversion, but OC’s 14-12 halftime lead unraveled in a series of turnovers and pen-alties as the Lions pulled away to a 39-22 win.
