From staff reports The Meridian Star The Meridian Star Sat Sep 15, 2012, 06:30 AM CDT

MERIDIAN —     Philadelphia scored the final 24 points Friday as the Tornadoes defeated visiting Northeast Lauderdale 38-7 at Harpole Stadium.

   The Tornadoes, 5-0 and ranked No. 2 in Class 3A, raced out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Romon Gray scored from 11 yards out to put Philly up 6-0 and after Jacardius Griffin ran in from 15 yards out, the Tornadoes converted on a two-point opportunity when Gray hit Abe Mars.

   Northeast, which fell to 2-3, then pulled within a score as Josh Everett ran in from a yard away. Kaytee Nelson, former Northeast coach Steve Nelson's daughter, then hit the extra point for her first career point in her first game.

   From there, though, it was all Philly. John Harold Smith hit a 25-yard field goal and Gray found TJ Hudson for a 54-yard touchdown to put the Tornadoes up 24-7 at halftime. Anthony Triplett returned an interception 22 yards in the third quarter and Ahmad Tatum scored on a 14-yard run in the fourth.

Calhoun Academy   40

Calvary Christian   8

   A lack of depth continued to haunt Calvary Christian, as the Cougars lost to Calhoun Academy.

   “They whooped us everywhere,” Calvary head coach Kirby Newell said. “They are a good football team. They just took it to us. We were definitely out-manned tonight.”

   Danny Joe Norman stole the show Friday night as he started Calhoun off on a 49-yard run for a touchdown to put Calhoun up 8-0. Before the end of the first quarter, Norman broke touchdown runs from 60 and 32 yards out, as Calhoun led 24-0 heading into the second quarter.

   Kyle Carter ran in a 41-yard touchdown in the second to put Calhoun up 30-0. Sam Moore added a 58-yard touchdown run in the third to make the score 37-0 heading into the fourth quarter.

   Calvary got its lone score when quarterback Jeremy McFadden found receiver Josh Carraway for an 88-yard touchdown.

   Next up for Calvary is a home date against Russell Christian Academy.
