SCR-I JV Football Team Wins Finale 20-6 Over Raiders

The Scotland County junior varsity football team finished the season on a high note with a 20-6 victory over North Shelby October 15. SCR-I finished the year 3-4.

The Raiders actually opened the game with the first score as Trey Million put North Shelby ahead on a two-yard touchdown run to make the score 6-0.

"In the first half we had trouble stopping Million, a 5'9", 200-pound sophomore," said Coach Ken Cross. "He was a load to stop. In the second half we assigned linebacker Tim Robinson to shadow #34, and Tim and the rest of the defense did a great job stopping him."

Scotland County took care of the rest of scoring, tallying in each of the final three quarters of the contest.

The final tally came in the fourth period when Joe Talbert rambled through the Raiders defense for a 71-yard touchdown to make the final score 20-6.

"The team showed their best effort of the year in the second half to shut out North Shelby and to score the two unanswered TDs," said Cross.
