The Little Tigers A Team is now at 3-0 following their 36-9 win over South Harrison in the nightcap game Saturday. The Tigers overcame a formidable South Harrison line and some speed by the secondary and had enough big plays to get the game under control. The Tigers showed some big hits early, including one in which Hayden Holmes rung the bell of Tyler Daugherty on a reverse right off the bat. The Tigers struck quickly as Jacob New aired it out to Jacob New for 52 yards and a score. Issac Alarcon caught a short pass and got a block from Caleb Parman for the extra points to make it 8-0.
Jeremy Wimer got a sack on the next play to kill a drive and South Harrison was forced to punt. Caleb Parman broke a whole host of tackles to the 38 for an 18 yard gain and the Tigers used him as a workhorse as they moved slowly down the field. Finally, Drake Simmons got a block from Caleb, sprung free, and scored from 23 yards out to convert fourth and three to make it 16-0 with 19 seconds left. Bryant McCord caught the extra point pass from New.
The Tigers showed that they could cover people as South Harrison could not get their passing game going; Hayden Holmes broke up a pass on the next series and Colton Wilmes and Issac Alarcon combined to blow up another play as South Harrison went three and out.
Worth County got a scare on the next series as Jacob New threw a pick deep in Tiger territory; however, the South Harrison played fumbled it right back to the Tigers, who got new life. They did not score, but they were able to take valuable time off the first half clock before stalling at the 15. South Harrison got a first down, but then Hayden Holmes broke up one pass and then finally picked one off and returned it all the way to the South Harrison 28 with just seconds remaining on the clock. That was all Worth County needed to make it a three-possession game as Drake Simmons caught a wobbly pass from Jacob New over the middle and outran everyone into the end zone with no time left to make it 22-0.
South Harrison got to midfield on their next series, but stalled thanks to a false start and Worth County got the ball at their own 20. Caleb Parman was once again the workhorse as he got carries of 8 and 23 and Drake Simmons picked up 23 more. Finally, Caleb Parman was in the end zone with 4:40 left. Bryant McCord caught his second extra point pass of the game to make it 30-0.
South Harrison used a late hit penalty to move deep into Tiger territory at the 17 and then Tyler Daugherty caught a pass for a 15-yard score. Gavin Garrett's extra point made it 30-7. Worth County got the points right back as Caleb Parman got a sweep down the left side and Drake Simmons threw the final block that sprung him free for a 47 yard score with 10:14 left to make it 36-7. South Harrison got another break as the Tigers played a pass perfectly, but tipped the ball right into Daugherty's hands to set up first and goal at the 7 after a fourth and 10. But the Tigers made a goal line stand and got the ball back at the 1. South Harrison scored a safety to account for the final score, but then Jacob New picked off a pass to allow the Tigers to run out the clock.
