The
Freshman Dragons opened up the season Thursday by thrashing
the visiting Munford Cougars 39-14. The Dragons fought
their way to a 12-6 halftime lead and overpowered the
Cougars scoring four second half touchdowns.
After
a scoreless first quarter, the Dragons drove 75 yds. as
QB Bubba Mize ran in from one yard out for the first score.
The extra point attempt failed. The drive was highlighted
by several long runs by TB Jason Goins.
The
Dragons took a 12-0 lead after Munford gambled on a fourth
and four from their own twenty-nine yard line. The defense
stopped the Cougars giving the offense the ball back on
the Cougar 32 yard line. Four plays later, TB Zack Palmer
scored his first of four touchdowns, taking it in from four
yards out. But, with eight seconds left before half, Munford
got on the scoreboard on a 22 yard TD pass to close the
first half scoring.
CHS
opened the second half driving the ball 53 yards capped
off by a ninteen yard shovel pass from Mize to Palmer for
an 18-6 lead. Other second half scores came on an eleven
yard run by Brett Rogers, a 70 yard kickoff return by Palmer,
and an eight yard run by Palmer. The defense was lead by
Harrison Bizzell, Matt Clark, and Laine Halfacre who each
tackled Cougar ball carriers for a loss. Also coming up
big for the Dragons was Malcolm Todd, who picked up an interception.
