Lawrence Co. 38 Ashland 0
A banged-up Lawrence Co. Middle School football team traveled to Ashland on Thursday, August 31 and came away with a dominant 38-0 win.
Playing without quarterback Mitchell Frazier and receiver Koltyn McDowell who are both out with injuries, the Dawgs were lights out on both sides of the football.
Chandler Preece had 9 carries for 166 yards, scored 2 touchdowns and added 2 two-point conversions.
Gray Derifield, filling in at QB for the injured Frazier, had 7 carries for 102 yards and a touchdown, and added to the scoring with a 60 yard punt return for a touchdown.
Running back Darren Brewer had 5 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown and a two-point conversion.
Defensively, Preece led the Dawgs with 13 tackles, including 7 tackles for loss. Hayden Thomas had 2 sacks to go with 7 tackles, and Derifield chipped in 8 tackles.
The stout Lawrence Co. defense allowed Ashland only 40 yards of offense.
