The 2005 Collierville Dragon football team traveled to Arlington to engage the Bartlett Panthers in the 2005 Jamboree Friday night and came away victorious turning in a 7-0 performance for their 12 minutes of work.

The ball was placed on the Dragon 35 yard line and talented Sr QB Jason Smith led his offensive squad out for the first series of downs. Facing third and 5 after two successive running plays, Smith called option right and scampered for 8 yards and a first down to the 48 yd line. Mixing up the pass and run and overcoming a block in the back penalty Smith continued marching his team down the field. With second down and 4 from the Panther 33 yd line, Smith lofted a beautiful pass to Sr End Joseph Crabtree who made a soft handed catch down to the Panther 3 yd line. Sr RB Noel Moyes gained one yard on a pitch left and on second down Jr FB Zack Palmer followed Jr C Joe White up the middle on a 2 yard dive to put the Dragons ahead by 6 points. Sr Lane Maynard’s PAT kick on Josh McMillon’s hold was good and the Dragons led 7-0 at the 7:58 mark in the quarter.

The Bartlett offense took over on the 35 yd line and using a misdirection running attack and a key pass play moved the ball down to the Dragon 4 yd line. The Dragon D stiffened and on second down the middle of the line stood up the running back and Jr NT Laine Halfacre stripped the ball away putting the Collierville offense back in business with first down and 10 in the shadow of their own goal line. The first play netted 17 yards on the hard running of Sr RB Noel Moyes. A quick out pass by QB Smith to Jr E Garrett Bizzell netted a first down for the Dragons at the 30 yd line. Two plays later, Smith called his own number on option right and carried the ball down to the Panther 33 yd line where a penalty for a downfield block in the back moved it back to the 43.

The Dragons continued to move the ball with successive running plays by RB Noel Moyes and FB Zach Palmer and an end around by SR E Chris Collins. The final play of the scrimmage saw Jr RB Jason Goins scamper for a quick 3 yds before the horn sounded.

The Dragons appear to be an overall faster team than last year’s Region 8 Championship team and with the depth and quickness that was exhibited Friday night there is no reason to believe the Dragons can’t repeat as Region Champs and march into the playoffs.
