Tigers storm back for big win
ROGERSVILLE — After trailing by seven points at halftime and in danger of losing a homecoming game, Lauderdale County stormed back for a 34-14 victory over Elkmont on Friday night, Lauderdale County outscored Elkmont 27-0 in the second half to win going away.
Lauderdale County (3-1, 2-1) tied the game late in the third when a Josh White interception was followed by a 69-yard touchdown run by CJ Jackson. “I was pleased with a few of our players that had to step up because of some injuries we’ve had,” Lauderdale County coach Bob Grisham said. “CJ Jackson did an outstanding job for us tonight.” Jackson rushed for 141 yards on just nine carries.
Elkmont (2-2, 1-2) was forced to punt on its next possession. The Tigers then put together a nine-play, 61-yard drive that ended with a 2-yard touchdown run by Jake Newton. Stephen Mair’s extra point gave the Tigers a 21-14 lead with 7:34 remaining. DJ Simmons recovered a fumble to stall Elkmont’s next drive, and quarterback Samuel Grisham would later score from 26 yards out to give Lauderdale County a 27-14 lead. After a Hunter Haney interception, Grisham added a 1-yard touchdown run late in the game.
Grisham finished with 154 yards on 24 attempts. Vic Gilbert led the Tigers’ defense with 10 tackles, a fumble recovery and an interception.
Elkmont quarterback Hayden Huseth scored twice for the Pirates on runs of 12 and 9 yards. Huseth had 167 yards rushing. “I was proud of our offense for keeping the ball away from them,” Grisham said. “Their quarterback is a dangerous player.”
The Tigers’ first half touchdown came on a 25-yard halfback pass from Newton to Lake Romine. Grisham was 0-for-1 passing, and the Tigers didn’t even attempt a pass in the second half. The Tigers did, however, rush for 270 yards in the second half. “If we don’t have to pass, we’re generally not going to pass,” Grisham said.
