The Cricket Captains were #2 Brody “The Rough Rider” Houston, #21 Hayden Richardson, #32 Dylan “Cucumber” Russell, and #88 Jacob Crabtree. The Tornados won the coin toss and wanted the ball. The Tornados drove the ball down the field earning a couple of first downs along the way. After the Madisonville score, the Cricket defense stepped up and denied the extra points. 6-0 ‘Nados. Our Cricket offense took the field on the 35 yard line and marched 65 yards in nine plays that featured a heavy dose of #26 Dylan “Pickle” Russell. “Pickle” carried the Reds down to the five yard line and #88 Jacob Crabtree bullied over for the six. “Pickle” took to the air and completed the conversion pass to # 23 Isaiah Lowe. The score board reads 8-6 Loudon with 19 seconds left in the first quarter. The Big Red Cricket defense did their job, forcing a Mad punt. The Crickets started on the 50 yard line. Three plays were all that it would take as #22 Jesse Smallen motored around the right end for a 40 yard touchdown! #34 Marcus Howard scooted in for the 2-point conversion. After yet another Tornado punt, the Loudon Cricket quarterback “Pickle” Russell is picked off. The Madisonville defensive back returns the football down to the Redskin 15 yard line. Your Cricket defense bows their backs and stops the Tornados on downs, that was a close one! At half time, the Loudon Crickets are leading 16-6. To start the second half, the Big Red has the ball first. Nine plays and 3:48 put the game out of reach. With an exclamation point, #23 Isaiah “The Tomahawk” Lowe, scores from the five yard line. Madisonville drives 65 yards and scores to make the score 22-14, which will also be the final score. To end the game, “Pickle” Russell recovers a Madisonville fumble. #26 Dylan “Pickle” Russell was the offensive bright spot rushing for 98 yards on 10 carries, the outstanding defenders were #41 Nate Rohen with six tackles; #44 Colton Brown, #34 Marcus Howard, and #55 Jerry Burchfield had four tackles each. Total offense was 275 yards. Rushing accounted for 272 yards on 30 carries, while passing added three yards. The Crickets (8-1) earn a big victory 22-14 and roar into the playoffs as the #2 seed.
