Camden Griffith Catches 13, Panthers Win at Halftime

Pattonsburg got its second straight win Friday as Camden Griffith continued to emerge as a workhorse at wide receiver with 13 catches for 156 yards for the Panthers in their 52-6 halftime win. Most of Pattonsburg’s games end at around 10 or 11 at night; this one actually ended before Worth County’s game did.

The Panthers were not taking anyone lightly despite their 90-66 win over Albany the week before. “When you think of Missouri eight man football, you think of North Andrew,” said quarterback Gage Iddings after the Albany game. “Great program, great team, great facility. They’re still North Andrew.” 

Iddings followed the Albany game with a solid effort against the Cards, completing 31 of 37 passes for 268 yards, six touchdowns, and no picks. He ran for 90 more yards in 7 attempts. 

On the other side of the ball, the focus of the game was on stopping the Cards’ running game. North Andrew is the exact opposite of Pattonsburg, seeing to run the ball down peoples’ throats and using it to set up the reverse or the pass. Despite their seeming one-dimensional approach, they always have plays in their pocket that they use when needed. Gage Iddings had his usual output on defense with 15 tackles. But it was Jace Estrada who stepped up on defense when he was needed, following with 12; his massive 300 pound frame turned out to be a problem for  North Andrew. Parker Virtue had 8, Landon Preston 6, Wyatt Maize and Camden Griffith 3, and Alex Young and Alex Arnold had 1 each. Gavin Humphrey added a pick on defense and returned it for 11 yards.

Besides Griffith, Wyatt Maize had 9 catches for 33 yards. Landon Preston had 5 catches for 59 yards. Gavin Humphrey had 2 catches for 18 yards, and Caden McCrary had 2 catches for 2 yards.
