RUTLEDGE- Last week, the Chuckey-Doak Black Knights scored 70 points but Grainger made sure that history would not repeat itself on Friday night.
The Grizzlies out-rushed the Greene County visitors 260-6 in the first half, built a three touchdown lead at the half and never looked back as they cruised to a 42-21 win at The Den. Grainger improves to 2-0 on the season and will begin conference play next week at Elizabethton.
Grainger head coach Michael Manis gave the guys in the trenches credit for the big win. 69制片厂制作传媒淭he offensive line did a great job because we had challenged them all week because last week (against Claiborne), we didn69制片厂制作传媒檛 play well in a lot of spots. We felt that if we played assignment football and stick with to our base runs, good things would happen and those guys really answered for us tonight.69制片厂制作传媒 The Grizzly boss said having balance in the running game is a key to their success this year. 69制片厂制作传媒淲e have stated we have to distribute our rushing numbers and try to keep our guys fresh because a lot of those guys carrying the ball also play defense. We have to keep them as fresh as we can and they all run hard so there isn69制片厂制作传媒檛 much of a production drop off between those guys as they all do their own thing in different ways. I am really comfortable with all those running the football.69制片厂制作传媒
Grainger ran the ball 50 times for 390 yards, led by Dawson Fowler69制片厂制作传媒檚 123 yards on 11 carries. Quarterback Ashton Taylor had 89 rushing yards, Luke Davis added 84 and Aiden Dalton finished with 47. Grainger ended the game with 25 first downs. The Black Knights had 140 total rushing yards, with most of those coming in the fourth quarter when the game was already out of hand, and added 144 passing yards.
Taylor got the ball rolling as he zipped a pass to Jackson Richey for a 20-yard touchdown in the first quarter but the extra point failed. On the kickoff, Skylar Davis was off to the races for an 85-yard touchdown and Billy Hahnlan kicked the extra point to give the Black Knights a 7-6 lead. That was the last lead they would enjoy, however, as the rest of the half was all Grizzlies. Grainger scored their next touchdown on a one-yard run by Colton Parrott and Dawson Fowler converted the two-point try.
Chuckey-Doak drove all the way to the Grizz seven yard line but coughed it up and Caleb Arnwine jumped on it at the 11. Down the field the Grizzlies went and Aiden Dalton finished off the drive with an eight-yard TD with Fowler providing the two-pointer. The Grizzlies took advantage of yet another turnover by the Knights as they pieced together a long drive that culminated in Fowler69制片厂制作传媒檚 four-yard rush to the end zone. Dalton plunged in for the two-points to make it a 28-7 lead at the break.
Grainger kept the foot on the pedal to begin the second half as they added two more touchdowns in the third quarter. Taylor took a hard lick and went to the sideline and was replaced temporarily by Parrott who threw one up into the endzone and Brizen Solomon reeled it in for a 29-yard score. Juan Vences69制片厂制作传媒 kick was good. Taylor came back in and went right to work as he eventually added a touchdown from the one and with Vences69制片厂制作传媒 kick, the rout was on as the lead ballooned to 42-7, Grizz.
With a commanding lead, the Grizzlies were able to get some of the younger players into the game in the fourth quarter and the Black Knights found some success against them. Dominic Hahnlan caught a 57-yard TD pass form Dominique Atchison and later, Atchison added a one-yard scamper to make the final 42-21.
69制片厂制作传媒淭his is a great start and where we wanted to be at the beginning of the season,69制片厂制作传媒 Manis said of his team69制片厂制作传媒檚 2-0 record. 69制片厂制作传媒淲e have a really hard game next week but if we can get through the first half of this schedule with a good record, I feel really comfortable about getting deeper into region play.69制片厂制作传媒
