Worth County pitched a 62-0 shutout over Pattonsburg Friday, the last game before their competition gets much tougher. North Andrew will come to town Friday, followed by Stanberry.
Worth County had to scramble last year before finally pulling away for a 94-50 victory over the Panthers this year. Some observers thought Pattonsburg would be better this year, but after winning their first two, they have dropped all the rest of their games. The knock on Worth County over the last several years has been that they could not cover the pass; however, they shut down the vaunted Panther air attack, something teams like North Andrew and Stanberry had not done even though they both won handily. Pattonsburg was held to 20 points in the North Andrew loss; nobody else had been able to slow them down until Friday night.
The short field was a recipe for disaster early for the Panthers. After getting the ball at their own 13 and throwing two incomplete passes, quarterback Cole Dilley scrambled on third and 10 but was three yards short of the first down. Pattonsburg elected to punt, but the kick was partially blocked and returned by Ryan McClellan to the Panther 16. From there, Tevin Cameron, or “Campbell,” as he was repeatedly called by the Pattonsburg PA announcer, ran it in for Worth County’s first score and Bryant McCord caught the extra points to make it 8-0.
Worth County got another short field to work with on the next series, but they were stopped for once as Lane Huitt stripped Cameron and returned it to the 15. Cole Dilley’s pass to Cameron Jones set up a makeable third and three at the 22, but then Devan Jackson broke through and got a sack and forced them to punt.
Worth County started at their own 29 and Bryant McCord caught a 12 yard pass to the Panther 39. From there, Tevin Cameron got a score as he sprinted down the field, broke two tackles, and got in with 6:47 left. Cameron ran it in to make it 16-0.
A holding penalty wiped out a long runback and Pattonsburg had to start at their own 19. Faced with fourth and one at their own 28, Pattonsburg elected to go for it but Cameron dropped Dilley for a loss of four and the Tigers had another short field to work with at the Panther 24. Ryan McClellan took three carries for 18 yards down to the six before Tevin Cameron carried it to the one and Isaac Alarcon rumbled it in for the last yard. Ryan McClellan bounced outside and ran in the extra points to make it 24-0 with 2:24 left.
Pattonsburg found some rare daylight on their next series as Dilley aired it out to Trevor Ireland for 42 yards down to the Tiger 32. A pass from Dilley to Peyton Jones went to the 25. Mason Hawk dropped a scrambling Dilley for two, but his pass to Ireland was good for a first down to the 19. Dilley took to the air again and a chance to make a game of it, but made the mistake of picking on Isaac Alarcon, who zeroed it in for his second pick in as many games to thwart the drive and put Worth County at their own 15.
On Worth County’s first play from scrimmage, Tevin Cameron picked up three yards. A five yard facemask put the ball on the 23 and then Cameron got loose and went down the left side. He dodged a defender who had an angle on him at the sideline, cut back across to the right side, and took off 57 yards for a score. Ryan McClellan’s keeper made it 32-0 with 26 seconds left in the first.
On their second play from scrimmage, Pattonsburg fumbled it away and Tevin Cameron pounced on it at the Panther 20. A holding moved them back to the 25, and two passes misfired, but Ryan McClellan got loose on a draw play as he cut it up inside for a 25 yard score with 11:43 left in the half to make it 38-0.
Pattonsburg picked up a first down, but stalled at the 25 and were forced to punt. This time, Drake Kinsella blocked the kick and Worth County fell on it at the Panther 26 for their second blocked punt of the night. Worth County was faced with third and 10 at the 26, but then Tevin Cameron picked up 19 to the 7, and then Ryan McClellan scrambled for a touchdown with 8:30 left to make it 46-0 after the extra point pass to Cameron.
Pattonsburg tried to air it out again, but this time, Ryan McClellan picked it off at the Panther 22 to set up Tevin Cameron’s 51 yard run to the three. That allowed Worth County to give Devan Jackson the ball, and he looked like he had carried it all his life as the 275 pound defensive lineman rumbled in for the score with 7:13 left. Cameron ran in the extra points to make it 54-0.
Worth County was not done yet as the reserves were able to get in on the scoring. Wayde Parman ripped off gains of 17 and 15 for the Tigers, while Nate Adwell added a 21 yarder. Finally, Wayde Parman scored with 1:01 left and Jacob New ran in the extra points to make it 62-0.
Reed McIntyre recovered a fumble right before half before Pattonsburg could get anything else going.
The game was over at that point; the two teams played two 10 minute JV quarters. The JV also won; Jacob New aired out scoring strikes of 40 to Jaxon Anderson and 42 yards to Andrew Alarcon and added a pick six. A long pass from Steven Willhite to Brett Emig cut Worth County’s lead to 20-14 with 2:50 left in the JV contest, but Austin Welch scooped up the onsides kick and ran it back to the Panther 25; Worth County ran out the clock from there.
