The Johnson
County Trojans improved to 6-0 with a 46-14 victory over the Wheeler County
Bulldogs in Alamo. The win puts the Trojans atop sub-region 3-B with a
region record of 3-0. E. C. I. is currently 2-0. Previously
unbeaten Treutlen lost to Jenkins County 17-14. JOCO will face Jenkins
County next week in Wrightsville in a very important sub-region game.
The game got off to a great start for
the Trojans. On the second play from scrimmage Larry Taylor rushed 52
yards for the touchdown. The conversion failed and JOCO had a 6-0
lead. Just a few plays later Shamarko Brown picked off a Wheeler
County pass at the Wheeler 42 and raced to the end zone. After another
failed conversion the Trojans led 12-0 with 8:45 remaining in the first
quarter. Wheeler County scored on their next possession to make the
score 12-8. JOCO came right back, going 71 yards in 5 plays. The
big play was 40 yard pass from D. J. Rozier to Zack Walker. That same
combination hooked up for the 7 yard touchdown pass. The conversion
failed and the score was 18-8 with 2:30 left in the first quarter.
Wheeler County showed that they weren't going away when they scored on their next possession.
With almost the entire second quarter remaining the score was 18-14.
The Trojans would put two more scores on the board before halftime.
The first one was set up by a 54 yard kickoff return by Deon Cuyler.
Five plays later D. J. Rozier hit Kevin Rozier from 15 yards out for the
score. The conversion failed again. The final score of the half
came on a 1 yard run by D. J. Rozier. Daniel Wright connected with
Zack Walker for the conversion. The halftime score was Johnson County
32-14.
On the first possession of the third
quarter Wheeler County ran almost seven minutes off the clock before the
Trojans defense finally stepped up and got a stop. The Trojans offense
took the ball on their 26 and drove 74 yards in 9 plays. Two big plays
accounted for most of the yardage. The first...a reverse pass from
Zack Walker to Rex Walker on 3rd down and 26. The second...a 35 yard
touchdown pass from D. J. Rozier to Daniel Wright. The conversion run
by D. J. Rozier was good and going to the 4th quarter JOCO led 40-14.
After getting another stop the Trojans were set up at the Wheeler 34.
JOCO got the ball inside the 10 but a couple of minus yardage plays kept the
Trojans from scoring. JOCO got another chance, however, when they
recovered a fumble Wheeler 32. Three plays later the Trojans got the
final score of the night. Larry Taylor went in from 3 yards out.
The conversion run failed and the scored was JOCO 46 Wheeler County 14.
The JV got to play the remaining 4:06.
D. J. Rozier had another good game,
passing for 139 yards and 3 touchdowns and rushing for 34 yards and 1
touchdown. Larry Taylor rushed for 107 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Zack Walker caught 6 passes for 82 yards and 1 touchdown. A couple of
freshmen, Shamarko Brown and Kelvion Johnson, picked off passes for the
Trojan defense. |
