Out for the coin toss, Captains #34 Jordan Davis and #35 Jack “The Ironman” Nichols II represented the Big Red Hoppers. Loudon won the coin toss and wanted the ball. The first quarter yielded two scores by “The Ironman” on rushes of 43 and 53 yards. The Blue Devils didn’t have a defensive answer all day. In fact, Nichols was a scoring machine ringing up four touchdowns on the day. Not a bad day’s work.

Although the ‘Devils did manage two scores, the vicious Hopper defense was hitting on all cylinders… recovering a fumble, poaching two interceptions, and forcing several punts on the day. Defense standouts were #24 Brandon “Newt” Brunette with four tackles and #39 Travis Brewer added three knock downs.

Rushing 22 times for 234 yards, four touchdowns, and three 2-point conversions powered the victory.
