Worth County's B team shut out South Harrison's Purple team 28-0 Saturday to raise their record to 2-1 on the year. South Harrison moved the ball on their opening drive into Tiger territory, but they were stopped by Austin Welch on fourth and short at the 30 and the Tigers took over on downs. The Tigers had trouble fumbling the ball against Central Decatur last week; however, they settled down this week and took much better care of the ball. Hunter Simmons converted a fourth and one at the 39 for a first down and then Simmons ran off gains of 7 and 13 down to the 11. Finally, Tanner Parman ran the bootleg and outran everyone to the end zone. Rory Bredlow caught a pass to make it 8-0 with 5:05 left in the first.
Both teams exchanged punts until early in the second quarter, when the Tigers started moving the ball again. Rory Bredlow's sweep got the Tigers to their own 37 and then Bredlow converted a fourth and two, getting a big hole down the right side to get six yards and a first down at the 29. The Tigers were backed up again at the 17 and faced with fourth and nine, but then Tanner Parman juked two different defenders for a score to make it 14-0 with 3:22 left. It was similar to a play that current principal Jon Adwell made back in his playing days; the Tigers were playing at Midway (KS) and he successfully juked a Midway defender, drawing then-coach Mark Fletcher's ire, but picking up an extra 10 yards for a 19-yard gain.
Worth County got the ball to start the third quarter and what could have given South Harrison a break and let them right back in the game instead went Worth County's way. The Tigers had a mixup behind the line of scrimmage on their first play and fumbled it, but Tanner Parman scooped it up and ran it 27 yards into South Harrison territory. That set up a score on the next play as Rory Bredlow fooled everyone with a counter play and easily made it into the end zone to make it 20-0.
The Tigers fumbled it to kill a drive on a subsequent possession, but Justin Dye and Austin Welch were forces on defense, denying South Harrison any chance of cashing in. Finally, Rory Bredlow got loose again on a sweep as everyone was sucked inside and nobody was out to contest him. He scampered 31 yards to the South Harrison 22. The Tigers stalled at fourth and five at the 17, but then Rory got loose again for the final score with 13:57 left in the fourth. Andrew Alarcon caught a pass to make it 28-0.
