The Panther offense scored midway through the first quarter on a 26 yard run by quarterback Logan Burchett, but the extra point conversion failed, putting the Panthers up 6-0. The Panthers and the Pirates played tough football the next three quarters, but both defenses held strong. The Panthers threatened again in the fourth quarter. but fumbled the ball on the Pirates 7 yard line. The young Panther defense played tough team football, making tackle after tackle with two or more defenders on the ball. Playing much bigger than his 51 pounds was middle linebacker Ben Stike who made 6 tackles, cornerback Ryan Clark made three touchdown saving tackles to preserve the win for Snowville. Fullback Tristan Bowden carried the ball 7 times for 56 yards and several key first downs to help run the clock in the second half. Other players coming up big for Snowville were defensive tackle R.J. Phillips, outside linebacker Davis Farmer, and defensive ends A.J. Bryson and Simon Lytton. The Panthers next game will be October 14 at Cool Springs at 6 p.m. against Auburn. The Panthers coaching staff are very pleased with their young Panther team. They only have 13 players, none of which have ever played football before this year, but it looks like they are learning fast. The Panthers will be in action again at cool springs on October 11th.
