The Dragons took the opening kickoff and drove down the field with So. Brian Hall scoring from 3 yards out at the 7:43 mark. C.J. Passmore added the extra point for the 7 - 0 lead, a lead that was never threatened the rest of the night. The stingy defense stopped the Trojans on their next possession setting up the beginning of the Dragon aerial assault. With 6:07 remaining in the first quarter, Smith hit his favorite receiver on the night, Jr. Jon Scruggs with an 18 yard strike for the TD. Passmore's PAT put the Dragon's up 14 - 0. The defense was led by Sr.'s LB Jake Storz & Robbie Seahorn and FS Hall with 9, 6, and 12 tackles respectively. Jr. Brian Nevill forced a fumble on Millington's next possession and was recovered by Hall to end the first quarter. The offensive machine continued to roll as the Dragon's scored quickly in the 2nd. Smith hit a streaking Scruggs for a 67 yard TD to put the home team ahead by 21 after Passmore's PAT. The Trojans followed by mounting their first sustained drive only to be stopped by another fumble, recovered by Scruggs. The Dragons drove 60 yards with Smith completing passes to SR. TE Kent DeVinney, Jr. RB Taylor Brashear, and Sr. WR Rogers Thweat. Sr. RB James Smith then scored from 2 yards out with :52 remaining in the half for a 35 - 0 lead. With :25 left the Dragons were in a prevent defense when Jr. DE Todd Madison intercepted the Trojan pass and returned it 32 yards for a TD making the score at the half 35 - 0. The Trojans took the second half kick-off and mounted the longest drive of the night. Aided by 4 fourth down conversions, Millington retained possession for the entire third quarter, but was turned away by the strong defensive performance by the Dragons. The Dragon's final score on the night came on 5 yard run by Brashear that made the score 42 - 0 with 10:49 remaining in the game. The balance of the game saw valuable playing time for many reserves that will be counted on by seasons end. Brashear led all rushers with 59 yards followed by Nevill with 44, Hall with 28, Ja. Smith with 22 and Jo. Smith with 21. Scruggs led all receivers with 3 receptions for 142 yards and 2 TD's. The Dragons travel to Whitehaven Friday for a critical region match-up.
