SEVENTH GRADE BEARCATS WIN SECOND STRAIGHT ON ROAD

The Booneville seventh grade Bearcats evened their season record at 2-2 with a 16-0 win at Lavaca.

The game was delayed slightly due to lightning pushing back the pregame warmup beginning.

The Bearcats allowed a first down before forcing a simulated punt and would take the lead with their first possession.

The touchdown came on a run of 73 yards by David Martinez after a false start flag pushed the Bearcats into a third-and-12.

Alijah Pearcy ran for the 2-point conversion.

Before the Bearcats ran another offensive play the lead had doubled to 16-0. Jagger Jobb picked off a Golden Arrow pass and returned it 64 yards for a touchdown with about three and a half minutes left in the first half.

Martinez added the 2-point conversion after the score.

It stayed 16-0 through the break thanks in part to Colton Fox (53) who had a sack, and other tackle and assisted on another sack, the later coming on the final play of the half.

The second half was a defensive struggle with the teams combining for just 35 yards.

The Bearcats will play again next Thursday at home against Cedarville. Game time is 5:30 p.m.
