By Butch Meneffe
KILLEN, Ala. – The Ardmore Tigers turned the ball over four times including two costly interceptions within short range of their end zone to fall to the Brooks Lions 48-20 last night.
The Tigers trailed by only seven points near the half when an interception set Brooks up at the Ardmore 20. The break was quickly converted to a touchdown and the Tigers held a 21-7 lead and momentum as both teams left the field for halftime.
Brooks added 13 points in the third quarter and another touchdown in the fourth.
Ardmore scoring came on a fumble recovery in the Brooks end zone by Tucker Wilder in the first quarter and two fourth quarter scores, a 43-yard pass from J Tribble to Matt Peoples and a 25-yard Tribble scoring pass to Jarred Atchley.
The Tiger defense held highly touted running back Kenyatta Roach to just 39 yards rushing but total yards for the Lions included 237 yards passing and 149 on the ground.
Offensively, Ardmore was 13 of 32 for 182 yards passing including 110 yards and two touchdowns from Tribble. Running back Owen Kilmury added 49 yards on seven rushes for the Tigers.
Clements 47, W’minster 12
Clements quarterback Jamison Bridges three five touchdown passes including three to receiver Seth Bachelor to help steamroll the Colts pass West Minster 47-12 last night.
Both teams scored twice in the first quarter but it was all Clements after that as they rolled up 255 yards in the air and 197 yards rushing by the final whistle.
Bridges finished the night 10 for 16 for 255 yards while Bachelor had 4 receptions for 107 yards. On the ground, halfback Brandon Sanderfer carried 17 times for 124 yards and 1 touchdown and Jonathon Franklin had 7 rushes for 73 yards and a touchdown.
