Warren Central 24, Grayson Co. 6 Highlights
The Dragons defense was in shut down mode on Friday night holding a Grayson County offense that was averaging 400 yards a game to just 188 yards on the night. Warren Central keyed in defensively on Cougars quarterback Hunter Gary, holding him to just 20 yards on the ground, 91 yards passing, and forcing him to throw three interceptions. Definitely a night to forget for the Cougar senior.
RECAP
- After the Cougars took a 6-3 halftime lead, they took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove the ball 68 yards to the Warren Central 27. Grayson County went for it on fourth down and failed after Hunter Gary was sacked. The momentum shifted from this point on and it was bad news for the Cougars.
- Warren Central took the ball and twelve plays later Eric Brown scored on a sweep from 10 yards out to give the Dragons a 10-6 lead.
- The Cougars went three and out on their next possession as the Dragons took over on their own 48 yard line. Cortez Barber broke a 43 yard run that set Warren Central up at the 2 yard line. Which lead to Demonte Smith crashing into the end zone. Dragons 17, Cougars 6.
- On Grayson County's next possession a Hunter Gary swing pass became a botched lateral and the Dragons' Marvin Miles recovered on the Cougars 22 yard line.
- Seven plays later Demonte Smith powered his way up the middle for a 4 yard touchdown run. Dragons 24, Cougars 6.
- With the win, the Dragons are guaranteed a home playoff game and will be playing for a district title as they collide with the Purples next Friday.
- Demonte Smith finished the game with 85 yards rushing and two touchdowns. The credit to this win has to go to the defense of the Dragons for holding the Cougar offense to just 6 points. If the Warren Central defense plays like this next week, Bowling Green better watch out.

Great win for Warren Central, and love the video and account of the game. The defense is definitely the strength of this Warren Central team, and they merely needed to hold long enough for the offense to get going. Really the INT at the end of the first half was the only mistake Central made, and it led to the Grayson score. Other than that, lights out.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how I feel about their game against BG next week, but hopefully the defense can continue to turn in this type of performance. After all, Grayson County did score 27 on BG by the 8 minute mark of the third quarter in that game, and they couldn't get anywhere near the end zone most of the night against Central. Great game.
Thank you for the comment pedmundson. Central has proven they are an elite team after beating Bowling Green last week.
