Bulldog Express Rolls Over
Section With Big Plays, 36-8
By JOHNNY BRIMER
Once afiain. the Trion
Bulld?igs relied on a hard hit
ting defense and some big
plays on offense to drub Sec
tion, Ala., 36-8 in the first ever
meeting between the two
schools last Friday night in
Trion. A good crowd witness
ed the contest as the Bulldogs
went to 3-0 on the season,
Brandon Floyd's 12 yard
return of the opening kickoff
set the 'Dogs ug at tieir own
30. DeWayne Bynum gained
five dyards on first down. Derry
Maddux got two on second
down. On third down, Bynum
lost the handle, but fell on the
ball to force a punt.
Chris Keen absolutely nail
ed a 53 yard punt to pin the
Lions at their own 10. Section's
first pla{l was their longest
gain of the night from scrim
mage. QB Kevin Jordan pass
ed to Shane Anderson. Ander
son immediately lateraled to
Daron Young, who gained 25
yards before Dee Crabtree
made the stop. From the 35,
Floyd stopxaf Young for a two
yard gain. A second fiown pass
fell incomplete as Jim Brooks
applied food pressure. On third
down, Floyd sacked Jordan for
an eight yard loss. Young's 30
yard punt proved disastrous
for Trion. A mix-up among the
receivers caused the ball to pop
in the air. Section’s Jason
Thompson alertly caught it
and raced 45 yards for the
score. A pass to Greg Roberts
made the score 8-0 Section. The
home crowd was stunned as
the Bulldogs trailed with 8:00
left in the first quarter.
This time, Floyd had a fine
return of 33 yards, but, a
holding penalty put Trion on
offense at the 20.
A two yard Maddux run
and Victor Clark's five yard
keeper were followed by an in
completion. Ken punted again,
this time for 42 yards.
From their own 31, Andy
Pilgrim and Floyd stopged
Young for a one yard loss, but
a face mask penalty gave the
Lions first and 10 at tieir own
45. Three running plays pro
duced 12 yards and another
first down. It appeared Section
was driving to another score.
That was not the case. After
Pilgrim stopped Young for a
one yard loss, Section was hit
with a clipping Eenalty. On
first and 23, the Lions threw
three straight incompletions.
On fourth down, the punter ran
instead, but was short of the
first down by Dee Crabtree.
Taking over at their own
45, the Bulldogs appeared to
wake up. After a first down in
completion, Clark hit Keen for
a 26 yard gain down to the
Lion 29. The drive stalled here,
however. Bynum picked up an
errant pitch but lost 18 yards
on first down. A second down
pass fell incomplete. On third
down, Jordan intercepted
Clark and returned it 10 yards

to thwart the Bulldogs again.
From their own 25, two run
ning plays netted minus one
yard as David Peek and Steve
Ewing made the plays. The
first quarter ende(F with Sec
tion leading 8-0.
Keen and Ewing stopped
Young on third down afger a
two yard gain to force a punt.
A short return gave ’grion
E)ossession at their own 47. The
irst play saw Michael Mon
tgomery %ain three yards. It
was here that the 'Dogs receiv
ed their wake ug‘ calE Bynum
ran the ball three straight
times for gains of 23, 25, and
two yards. The two yarder was
a touchdown, and, when Clark
ran the two-point conversion,
the’'Dogs were even at 8-8 with
9:18 le?t until halftime.
Peek, who had another fine
night kicking off, had a 53
yarder, but, a 19 yard return
put Section at the 26. After
two incomplete passes, Han
cock was nailed for a five yard
loss by Ewing. This proved to
be a big play on the ensuing
kick. Floyd fielded the punt at
his own 49. With a tremendous
wall set up he weaved his way
to the 10 yard line, where
Pilgrim made a super block to
sprmi him for the score. The
team had been waiting to break
a punt and the hard work had
finally paid off. After Mon
tgomery ran the two-point con
version, Trion led 16-8 with
7:51 left in quarter number
two.
Another long Peek kick put
Section at their own 24. Three
runs produced 14 yards and a
first down at the 38. Staying
with the running game, the
Lions put together runs of
eight, one ants two to garner
another first down at their own
49. At this point, the vaunted
Trion defense decided that this
was enough. Young lost five
yards on first down thanks to
Floyd and Brooks. Jordan lost
10 on second down as Floyd
teamed with Mark Grogan this
time. A third down incomple
tion was followed by a 29 yard
Lion punt.
Taking over at their own
36, the 'Dogs decided to find
out if the Lions had figured out
a way to stop Bynum, yet. The
answer was a very emphatic no
as the big Bulldog runner rip
ped off 44 yards down to the
Section 20. Montgomery gain
ed five yards on tfie next play.
After a delay penalty, &ark
ran the option to perfection as
he ran 20 yards fl())(r3 the score.
The PAT kick missed wide,
but, with 2:15 left until
halftime, the 'Dogs led 22-8
after putting up 22
unanswered points in the se

possession of the first half at
their own 34. Keen sacked Jor

tercepted the next ;iass and
returned it 12 fyards. "rion ran

As halftime arrived,
Bulldog fans were breathing
easier as their favorites ha
taken control of the game with
437 second quarter yards com
pared to 24 for Section.
The second half began with
Section at their own 24. Young
got nothing on first down as
Ewing stopped him. On second

Bynum started the posses

gfomerlzl %ot two on second
own. Maddux got six tough
yards and a first down on third
down. From the five, the 'Dogs
were hit with a delay penalty,
making it first and goal at the
10. Roone Gable, Clark’s
understudy at quarterback,
had taken over at the beginn
ing of this Fossession. His first
carry was for eight yards down
to the two. Macfiiux punched it
in from there to put the game
totally out of reach. Shannon
Tucker kicked the PAT with
7:58 left in the quarter to
stretch the lead to 29-8.
Peek kicked it deep again
and Section started from t%leir
20. Two Lion runs produced six
and three yards, respectively.
A spearing penalty, one of
seven penalties against the
Bulldogs, made it first and 10
at the 46. On first down,

ed yet another Section punt.
After a 28 yard punt, Trion
started from their own 25.
Maddux got two. On second
down, Ga%)le hit Scott Daniel
on a 15 yard play. Daniel made
the defender pay by delivering
a blow as he was geing tackl
ed. From their own 42, Coach
Tab Gable turned to his second
set of backs. Jimbo Crabtree
was stogped for no gain on first
down. Gable broke the next
play beautifully for a 58 yard
score, but a clip brought it
back. This dian't matter,
though, as the 'Dogs just
waited a few more plays. First
and 10 at the 40 saw Gable rip
off 22 yards for a first down at
the 18. After Evans lost a yard,
the Bulldogs struck for their
final score of the night. Gable
threw to Keen for 19 yards as
the senior tightend made a fine
catch. With 1:30 left in the
third, Tucker's PAT finished
the scoring at 36-8.
The cannon leg of Peek
again blasted aSO yard kickoff
to put Section at tKeir own 18.
Two Young carries garnered 16
yards and a first down as the
quarter ended. Section was pro
bably glad to hear the whistle.
From the Lion 34, Section,
behind by 28 points, inex
plicably kept the ball on the
ground. But, then again, they
had not had sufficient time to
pass, anyway. Against Trion’s

mostly inexperienced second
unit, the Lions picked up 60
yards and five first donws on
nine straight runing plays. The
ninth play, however, proved to
be the end of the drive. Jimbo
Crabtree jarred the ball loose at
the three and Jon Bethune fell
on it to end the threat.
Jimbo carried twice for a
total of seven yards. Peek got
a first down with a seven yard
gain on third down. Two runs
and an incomplete pass
brought only two yards and
forced only the*third Bulldog
punt on the night.
One of the strengths of this
team is their depth at several
gositions. Jimbo rroved this as
e punted for 44 yards. Each
team had one more uneventful
possession left before the horn
sounded, none too soon for the
Lions.
I mentioned earlier about
Trion's depth. Another exam
ple was seen Friday night as
starting lineman Shannon
Tucker and Stefan Hoglund
did not ’Flay a down due to in
juries. Tucker did kick. Sam
Bradley, Chad Wells, Robert
Lively and Grogan joined
Pilgrim, Brooks and Ewing in
fine interior line plafy both of
fensively and defensively.

Trion against the Bowdon Red
Devils. The Devils’ record of
1-3 is deceiving as two of the
losses were to Carrollton and
Central Carrollton. Bowdon is
loaded with quick, fast running
backs who will surely present
a tremendous challenge to the
Trion defense.

agree that any one of six teams
could win region 6-A this year.
This first region win is imgor

gll-ove it tg' being at Sam R.
