Warren County vs. Hancock Central

Warren County escaped Sparta with a 21-2 victory Friday night in what proved to be a shaky game for the Devils coming off the bye week.  The Screaming Devils improved their record to 6-1 for the season, relying on the strength of their defense as they have done all season.

Neither team was able to sustain an offensive drive past their opponents 30 yard line through the entire 1st quarter resulting in a 0-0 tie at the end of the period.  Each of Warren County's drives were halted by fumbles while their defense managed to stall the Bulldog's offensive threats by holding them on fourth down.

The Devil's defense posted the only points in the first half portion of the contest.  Richard Wilburn intercepted a pass from Bulldog quarterback, Dontavious Lowe with 6:32 to go in the 2nd quarter.  Wilburn returned the interception 34 yards for a touchdown to give Warren County a 6-0 lead.  Ed'Ricus Williams came on to kick the extra point and split the uprights for what appeared to be an extra point.  However, Hancock was penalized for being offsides and Coach Daniel decided to roll the dice and go for the two point conversion.  Damien Clark ran the quarterback sneak and just made it over the goal line to give the Devils an 8-0 lead.

Warren County's offense found it's stride in the third quarter after the Devil's defense held the Bulldog's again on 4th down.  Warren County took over on downs on their own 31 yard line with a little over 9:00 to go in the period.  The Screaming Devils mounted their longest sustained drive of the game as they went 69 yards in about 6 minutes to set up a 5 yard run for a touchdown by Damien Clark.

The Devils would thwart yet another scoring opportunity by the Bulldogs early in the 4th quarter when they again held Hancock on downs inside the Warren County 5 yard line.  The Bulldogs would put their only points of the night on the board three plays later when a bad snap led to a safety making the score 14-2 with 9:50 to go in the game.

Warren County capped off the scoring for the night when Damien Clark connected with Dextrell Norris for a 42 yard pass for a touchdown with 6:44 to go in the game.  The extra point by Williams was good to make the final score 21-2.
