| Summary: Blount took advantage of turnovers
to score a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns to win its second
consecutive 5A state championship. The game was tied 8-8 at the
half and 15-15 after the third quarter, but the final stanza
belonged to the Leopards.. Darnell Hawkins intercepted a pass at
the Russellville 29 yard line and then put the Leopards ahead to
stay with a 10 yard touchdown run with 9:20 remaining. On
Russellville's very next possession and the first play after the
kickoff, Shane James picked a fumble out of the air and ran 67
yards for another Blount touchdown and the game was over.
Dameyune Craig rushed 12 times for 65 yards and completed 6 of
11 for another 130 yards passing. This
was Russellville's fourth trip to the championship game having
won titles in 1967-68 and losing one to Greenville in 1987.
Blount won its second championship in three years. |
