Loudon won the coin toss and wanted the football. On the first play from scrimmage, the Cherokee defense threw #21 Jackson for a -10 yard loss? This set the tone for the entire day! Unfortunately, your Loudon Hoppers offense never got untracked; as they were held to 83 yards of total offense. Most of the plays were run right up the middle; into the strength of the Cherokees defense (#75 a tackle was the best defensive G’back player). The only success came when the Hoppers ran wide on sweeps, away from that impenetrable defensive front. In a losing effort, the Hoppers rushed 19 times for 83 yards and one touchdown. The final score was 8-6 in favor of the visiting Greenback Hoppers. Stats: #35 Jack “The Ironman” Nichols II: (8) carries for 26 yds and (7) tackles #21 “Double J” Joshua “Action” Jackson: (10) carries for 58 yards, (1)TD, and (3) tackles #43 Rodger “Red Shoes” Waddell: (1) carry for -1 yd and (3) tackles #54 Caleb Green: (6) tackles #24 Brandon “Newt” Brunette: (4) tackles #47 Macklyn “The Mac Attack” Russell: (4) tackles #34 Jordan Davis: (3) tackles and (1) sack #39 Travis Brewer: (2) tackles #87 Jacob “Unit 1” Mashburn: (3) tackles and (1) sack #88 Zack “Unit 2” Mashburn: (2) tackles and (1) fumble recovery
