Roundup: Lamar sets up division title game with Simpson

From staff reports The Meridian Star The Meridian Star Sat Oct 20, 2012, 06:00 AM CDT

MERIDIAN —     A second straight MAIS Division 4-AA game and a second straight blowout for Lamar.

   The Raiders hammered visiting Sylva-Bay Academy 42-7 on Friday night at Grey Cobb Field for homecoming and, in the process, set up a division championship showdown next week at Simpson County Academy. Lamar is 8-2 and 2-0 in the division.

   The Raiders started in a hurry against the Saints as Corey Skinner raced 43 yards for a touchdown with 11:05 left in the first quarter. Less than three minutes later, Skinner scored again from 46 yards out on his second carry of the game. He finished with 139 yards on nine carries.

   Fifteen seconds after the second touchdown, Lamar added a third as Lee Martin recovered a fumble in the end zone with 8:26 left in the opening period to put the Raiders up 21-0. Martin added a 10-yard scoring run with 2:36 left in the period.

   Lamar tacked on a 6-yard scoring pass from Barrett Dudley to Skinner in the second quarter and a 53-yard touchdown strike from Dudley to Martin in the third. Dudley completed 6 of 9 passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns, while Martin had three catches for 106 yards.

   Martin also made five tackles defensively to go along with the fumble recovery and touchdown, while Jesse Seale made 10 tackles and Jonathan Young added five stops as well.

   The Raiders have dropped their past three meetings with Simpson, as the Cougars have won the past three division championships. Lamar, though, did beat Simpson 42-28 in the playoffs in 2009 to advance to the state championship game. Simpson returned the favor in 2010 to go along with the regular season win.

Calvary 40 Central 14

   Calvary Christian ended its season the same way it started it, with a win against the Vikings. The Cougars end their season at 3-7.

   It was all Cougars early, as Calvary scored the game's first 40 points, hammering Central all night.

   Quarterback Jeremy McFadden got things started for the Cougars in the first quarter when he found the end zone from 15 yards out to put the Cougars up 8-0.

   Later McFadden found Josh Carraway on a 40-yard pass play to put the Cougars on top 16-0.

   Roberts came up big for the Cougars again, this time on defense, as he returned an interception 35 yards for Calvary's third score of the night.

   Carraway ran in an 8-yard touchdown, before McFadden found him again for a 49-yard score, as the Cougars rolled into halftime up 40-0.

   McFadden led the Cougars with 82 yards and a touchdown on seven carries on the ground, and 106 yards and two touchdowns in the air. Carraway had 10 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown as well on the game.

   On defense, Jarrett Jenkins and Hezekiah Moss had interceptions and Trent Hudson recovered a fumble for the Tigers.

Saint Patrick 56 Clarkdale 37

   Clarkdale fell to 0-10 on the season, as the Bulldogs fell to Saint Patrick on the road.

   Blake Maldin got things started for the Bulldogs, finding Dontae Shelby in the first quarter on a 62-yard touchdown pass.

   In the second quarter, Noah Prewitt knocked a 30-yard field goal through the uprights to give the Bulldogs their second score.

   Clarkdale got two touchdowns in the third quarter, as Dustin Alsup ran in a 24-yard score followed by an 8-yard touchdown run by Austin Emerson.

   Emerson would score again in the fourth from 54 yards out before Shelby gave the Bulldogs their final score on a 10-yard run.

   Head coach Chris Richmond said he hopes his team can rebound next week against Mize, as the Bulldogs look to build positive momentum heading into next week.

   “We've got to learn to compete,” Richmond said. “We are young, and we have to figure it out.”

He's relaxed and feeling awfully good about the state of the Southeastern Conference.
It's a rare moment of calm for the SEC's cerebral commissioner, but he can afford it since his "A pile" of things to do has gotten considerably slimmer over the past two years.
