JOCO 14 WHEELER COUNTY 12 |
|
The Johnson County Trojans (4-3) won a nail biter
over the
Wheeler County Bulldogs (3-3). If anybody had any doubts that the
Trojans were in for a dogfight they were dispelled on the second play of the
game. Wheeler County sophomore quarterback Austin Oliver kept on an
option play and rumbled 52 yards down to the JOCO three before being dragged
down by Tim Crabb. That tackle would prove to be a game saver as
Keriyon Smith would recover a Wheeler County fumble in the end zone on the
next play. Wheeler County drove down to the Trojan 12 early in the 2nd
quarter but missed a 30 yard field goal. The Trojans took over from
there and 80 yards later Bull Darrisaw scored the first touchdown of the
game. The Trojans drove down to the 3 on their next possession but
turned the ball over on downs. There were only 35.7 seconds remaining
in the half but Wheeler County would not go quietly into halftime. On
the last play of the half the Bulldogs hit a 52 yard touchdown pass.
However, Robkevious Norris blocked the extra point and JOCO still led 7-6 at
the half. The Trojans extended their lead to 14-6 on the first
possession of the second half. The big play on the drive was a diving
39 yard catch by Andrew Claxton. Markel Horne scored from four yards
out and Austin Jones made the all important extra point. The score
remained the same until 4:34 remaining in the game. The Bulldogs
capped off a 56 yards drive with a touchdown. However, the Trojans
defense halted the two point conversion attempt and the score was 14-12.
Wheeler County would get two more chances to take the lead but the Trojans
defense stiffened and held on to the game for JOCO. Due to an
unexpected outcome in Twin City the Trojans find themselves in a three way
tie for the sub-region lead. Portal defeated E.C.I. 17-7 to shake up
things in sub-region 3-A West. The Trojans will host Treutlen this
Friday in another important sub-region contest. |
