Patriots Collide With Warriors

With the Warren Central Dragons and the Russellville Panthers going down to defeat this past Friday night, the only team in the area still alive is the Allen County Scottsville Patriots.

The Patriots are coming off a huge win at home against the Lone Oak Purple Flash prevailing by a final score of 35-28. The ACS defense had a bend but not break attitude against the Purple Flash allowing them to get their passing yards (367) but shutting down their running game, the Flash only had 14 total rushing yards.

ACS showed a lot of determination by jumping out to a 20 point lead only to see that lead turn into a 28-27 deficit in the 4th quarter. The Patriots responded with a 43 yard touchdown run by Hunter York to take the lead for good. Lone Oak fumbled away their opportunity to tie the game on their next possession. The Patriots were lead by Brandon Boards with 19 rushes for 119 yards, despite being in a car wreck early in the morning...one tough dude!

Now its on to Louisville to face the Western Warriors (10-3) lead by running back Jacorey Ritchie, who is coming off a 170 yard 2 touchdown performance against Collins. The Patriots defense will have to key on the running attack of the Warriors if they want to make it to the big show in Bowling Green.
