VARSITY FOOTBALL
10/15 at Greenhill* • 62-26 W
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. The Dragons continued to build their championship bridge last night as they defeated the Hornets of Greenhill 62-26. There was a good deal of yellow on the field, but the Dragons fought through their mistakes to handily win their fifth SPC contest in a row. The Dragons saw early success, already up 28-0 at the start of the second quarter. Junior QB Vaughn McKeever had another large evening, hitting on 18 of 31 passes for 220 yards and six touchdowns. Junior WR Kielar Sullivan and senior TE Gamble Reed were hard to cover last night pulling in two touchdowns with critical catches for large conversations as well. Senior RB Jaxson Pierce truly carried the load rushing for 188 yards on 17 carries; Pierce repeatedly refused to go down, fighting off tacklers for extra yards all evening. The Dragon defense spread the love with multiple players collecting multiple tackles; the Dragons forced and recovered one drive ending fumble and pulled in an interception as well. Senior LB Blake Pitts, senior FS Ronnie Woodall, and senior DE Connor Dove were around the ball all night, providing big hits and important pass break-ups to help keep the Hornets out of the endzone. The Dragons look to improve this week as they ready themselves for their Championship date in three weeks as they come back home this week to face off with the Falcons of Fort Worth Country Day School. –Coach Daniel Lewis
