Luckless Raiders persevere

Oct 12, 2007 - 11:10 pmCheck Saturday’s BHC for the full write-up. Here’s a quick recap and some notes:
Rough night for the Patriots.
Big, big night for Rebels quarterback Curt Phillips.
Phillips was 8-of-12 passing for 107 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran 10 times for 112 yards and two touchdowns. And he did it all by barely stepping on the field in the fourth quarter.
Phillips wasn’t perfect. He failed to check off a couple times, threw an interception, and nearly had two more passes picked off. This said, he absolutely dominated East, and looked like a men among boys.
And Phillips wasn’t the only Rebel to come up big. Taylor Fletcher ran for 133 yards and one touchdown on 10 carries, while South’s defense held East to just two first downs.
Up 14-0 after the first quarter, South took a 28-6 lead into halftime. Then Phillips and Fletcher drove it home.
Fletcher broke four tackles and ran across the field for a 36-yard burst on the Rebels’ first play from scrimmage after the break.
Phillips then made it 34-6 when he turned an up-the-middle scramble into a 16-yard touchdown run.
“We gave a good beating to a good football team, so maybe we’ll start getting a little respect,” said South coach Stacy Carter. “I think we can play with just about anybody around.”
The Rebels rushed 36 times for 298 yards, and totaled 405 offensive yards.
“That’s what happens when you have our offensive line,” Fletcher said.

Touchdown Friday Night
Oct 12, 2007 - 05:10 pmAbout 2 1/2 hours until kickoff for local high school football teams. Here are some things to look for tonight:
—- Sullivan East is off to a 5-1 start but the Patriots will get their biggest test of the season when they travel to Colonial Heights to face Curt Phillips-led Sullivan South.
—- Will Sullivan Central end its 16-game losing streak at Unicoi County?
—- Lebanon will travel to Virginia High in an important Clinch Mountain District contest. Lebanon head coach Jon Adams formerly coached at Virginia High and led the Bearcats to a Highlands District crown during his time at the Bristol school.
—- Chilhowie running back Robert Gonzalez transferred to the Smyth County school this season. He’ll play his former team tonight as the Warriors travel to PH.
—- Powell Valley travels to J.J. Kelly in a crucial Lonesome Pine District contest. Both schools are in dire need of a victory if they want to reach the postseason.
—- There are four winless teams in Southwest Virginia at the present time. One of those schools will break into the win column as Pound (0-6) travels to Twin Valley (0-6).
—- Honaker has one of the best running backs in the area in Logan Ball. Will that be enough for the Tigers to upset J.I. Burton tonight? Burton (6-0) is the only unbeaten team in Southwest Virginia.
—- Clintwood’s contest at Gate City could be an old-school clash. Both teams rely on hard-hitting defenses and tough-running running backs. Crucial VHSL power points are also at stake.
