Bulldogs fall to Miller
The Bulldog defense forced Miller to punt after three plays and the offense took over at their own 40-yard line. They moved to the Tiger 24-yard before turning the ball over on downs. Miller put together a pair of first down before their drive stalled and they were forced to punt again. After the kick CCHS started at their own 26-yard line. Behind the running of tailback Jamarcus Robinson and Kenneth Kimbrough they moved steadily downfield. Kimbrough capped the eight play drive with a 1-yard plunge. The kick sailed wide left but with 10:36 left in the half, CCHS led 6-0. Miller took the ensuing possession and in quick fashion got on the board themselves. Quarterback Baxley Raines called his own number on a 1-yard keeper, then added the PAT to give the Tigers a 7-6 lead with 8:00 minutes left in the first half. Following a Bulldog punt T.R. Miller again put together a scoring drive with Justin Gomez finishing things off with a 5-yard dash. The kick from Raines increased the lead to 14-6 as the first half came to a close. A bad snap late in the third quarter gave the Tigers a short field to work on. Gomez capped the short drive with a 2-yard run. Raines' kick increased the lead to 21-6 with 2:53 left in the third. The Bulldogs took the ensuing possession and quickly drove inside the Miller 10-yard line. The drive ended at the 7-yard line as CCHS turned it over on downs. Clarke County was able to dive as deep as the 39-yard line but that was as close as they would come as the third-ranked 4A Tigers won 21-6. Robinson led all rushers with 147 yards on 24 carries. Kimbrough added 87 yards on 17 carries. Gomez paced Miller with 110 yards on 15 carries and a pair of scores. The Bulldogs (0-1, 0-0) look to get into the win column this week when they host Calhoun (0-1,0-0). The game had originally been scheduled to be played in Letohatchee but the venue was changed early last week. The Tigers lost 52-6 to 2A Highland Home last week. Game time at Prim Stadium is 7 p.m.
