The Knights first possession was stopped by #34 Ryano McNabb with an interception. The Reds returned the favor by fumbling the ball away. After forcing an Etowah punt, Loudon drove down and scored from the two yard line. Townson vaulted in the end zone and also added the 2-point conversion himself. At the intermission, Loudon leads 16-0. Loudon kicks off to start the second half. Hustling down to recover the on-sides kick was #20 Brandon Tallent! That turnover resulted in eight points, as #36 Jake “The Snake” Mourfield blasted off on a 20 yard strike. Mourfield also made good on the extra points. Etowah scores in the third and fourth stanzas trying to make a game of it. This was too little too late as the Mustangs (4-0) close out a 24-12 victory.
