Information from WYSH Radio

Friday night, it looked for two quarters like the Clinton Dragons might snap arguably their most vexing dry spell—the six-year long losing streak to archrivals Anderson County—but in the second half, the Mavericks ran all over that notion, rallying from a 27-6 halftime deficit for a thrilling 51-47 win at Clinton.

The win ran AC’s streak in the Crosstown Showdown to seven in a row and 16 of the last 17 meetings.

Anderson County outscored Clinton 45-20 in the second half on the strength of their running game, led by Mason Phillips’ 293 yards and 5 touchdowns on 44 carries.

Quarterback Tate Holmes added 147 yards rushing and a score. His only completion of the game was a 29-yard scoring strike to Thasaud Thrasher. [Read more…]

Wildcats’ lead slips away in fourth quarter of state championship

Oak Ridge Wildcats 2014 State Runner Up

The Oak Ridge Wildcats were named Class AAA State Runner-Up after a 60-58 loss to the Blackman Blaze in Murfreesboro on Saturday.

MURFREESBORO—The Oak Ridge Wildcats gave up an 11-point lead in a series of turnovers in the fourth quarter before losing to the Blackman Blaze 60-58 in a state championship game in Murfreesboro on Saturday.

Wildcats senior Jaylin Henderson had a game-high 24 points in the Class AAA final, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the combined scoring of four Blaze players who scored 10 or more each. The Wildcats were named 2014 State Runner-Up.

Oak Ridge (32-8) looked like it was headed to victory in the third quarter and early in the fourth, but the Blaze (28-6) stepped up the pressure and the Wildcats weren’t able to protect the ball.

Oak Ridge Coach Aaron Green said a series of five fourth-quarter turnovers, including back-to-back steals, shifted the momentum. Many of the Wildcats’ turnovers led to easy layups, and the Blaze went on a 14-0 scoring run at the Murphy Center at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro. [Read more…]
