The Lions continue to roll through their opponents as they added another win to their 6-0 record. Lakeside defeated South Forsyth Middle 52-0 on Tuesday night at South Forsyth High School. The night had an exciting start as our South Forsyth Cluster Tailgate event kicked off the night, followed by the win by the Lions. The defense proved themselves again shutting out the Eagles, while the offense put up over 250 yards in the first half alone. The Lions will return to action on Oct. 11 against Piney Grove at South Forsyth High School.
Tuesday’s matchup between the Hawks and the Bulldogs was a game of attrition for the ages. Otwell scored early in the first quarter on a long touchdown run to give the Bulldogs an early 7-0 lead. Late in the first quarter a Hendricks safety made by a host of Hawks cut the lead to 7-2. On the ensuing drive, the Hawks would score on the ground taking an early 8-7 lead. The second quarter saw the Bulldogs score again taking a 15-8 lead off of another rushing touchdown, and a botched snap on the extra point attempt turned in Otwell’s favor as they completed the 2-point conversion off of the miscue. Defense was the theme of the third quarter and most of the fourth quarter. A Hendricks punt midway through the fourth quarter hit an Otwell player and was recovered by Hendricks defensive back Miles Hasty. The Hawks would grind out a methodical drive capping off the score with a Reese Coursey touchdown on the ground. The ensuing 2-point conversion, also by Reese Coursey, would be the tipping point for the Hawks securing their second win of the season in a 16-15 upset of the undefeated Bulldogs.
A scoreless first quarter turned into a ground game by the second quarter with Riverwatch scoring on three 45+ yard runs making it 21-0 at the half. The Panthers would continue to use the ground game in the second half finishing off the game on a last minute 91 yard touchdown run beating the Hawks 27-0.
A scoreless first quarter quickly turned into an offensive explosion in the second quarter. Two Hendricks rushing TDs by Cal Adams gave the Hawks a 14-0 lead which was followed up by a North Forsyth touchdown late in the second quarter making it 14-6 at the half. Out of halftime a 70 yard kick return by Miles Hasty put the Hawks in scoring position for another rushing touchdown. The Hawks would add two more scores in the game from Keagan Krog and Reese Coursey giving the Hawks their first victory of the season, a 34-6 win over the Wildcats.
