Summary:
Barry Ballard threw two touchdown
passes to Matt Pierce to provide the offensive spark and a
swarming defense put the finishing touches on Cleburne County at
Legion Field. Pierce, a senior who came into the game with 53
catches on the year, caught five passes from Ballard for 91
yards including touchdowns of 12 and 26 yards to give UMS-Wright
a 15-12 lead at the half.
Cleburne star
athlete Tyrone Prothro had three punt returns for 29 yards, two
kickoff returns for 55 yards, including a 32-yarder to start the
second half, rushed for 25 yards and caught two passes for 12
yards. In the second half Johnny Strada ran 20 yards for the
Bulldogs' third touchdown of the night in the third period. Less
than two minutes later Bruner Binion intercepted a Cleburne
County pass at the 6-yard line and Ballard ran for the last
score of the evening to give UMS a 28-12 lead.
Cleburne County
quarterback Josh Forrest battled under a heavy rush from the
Bulldogs all night. That pressure forced him into two
interceptions.
