BOILING SPRINGS, SC - The number three ranked team in 5A, Dorman Cavaliers, traveled to Boiling Springs on Thursday night as the Bulldogs homecoming opponent and left with a 52-14 victory.
While the score wasn't what any Bulldog fan was hoping for, Coach Reel said that he sees the growth happening in his players and that the changes happening aren't overnight fixes but processes. "Our guys are learning each week what it's going to take to be at the level of these other guys and we all understand there's no quick fixes," said Bulldogs head coach Matt Reel. "A lot of these other teams have been lifting since seventh grade and our guys really just started in January. As a team we just got to keep showing up and believing in our process. We're seeing changes in these players that aren't reflected on the scoreboard and that people that just see them on Friday night aren't going to notice, especially in the growth in the players from day to day. If we keep showing up and putting in the work, we're going to be just fine." The Cavaliers fumbled on their first offensive drive of the night but on the next ensuing drives they didn't waste their opportunities scoring touchdowns on the next seven drives to take a 45-7 lead into halftime. The first two scores came on a 32-yard run over the right side and a nine-yard run up the middle by running back Demarius Foster. DJ Porter added the next two scores for the Cavaliers, one on a 48-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Hudson Talley followed by a one-yard touchdown run. TraVon Fernandez and Raequan Robinson added two more touchdown receptions from Talley, Fernandez from fifteen yards out and Robinson from seventy-four yards out. In between those two scores Kendell Lewis added a nine-yard rushing touchdown. Emo Fowler added another touchdown in the third quarter for the Cavaliers final score of the game on a twenty-yard touchdown pass from David Sorenson. With nine minutes to go in the second quarter Boiling Springs had cut the Dorman lead to 26-7 when quarterback Lincoln Huskey ran the ball for sixteen yards over the left side behind good blocks from the offensive line and wide receiver Spencer Eison. He also added another score in the fourth quarter when he ran the ball in from two yards out over the right side for the final score of the game putting the score at 52-14 in favor of the Cavaliers. Huskey ended his night going 11 of 23 for 111 yards while rushing for 52 yards on fifteen carries and two touchdowns. Spencer Eison and Jackson Cole led the Bulldogs in receptions with four catches each as Eison went for 63 yards and Cole went for 30 yards. On defense the Bulldogs were led by JoJo Barrett who had nine tackles while Calvin Jackson added six tackles including two and a half tackles for loss. Amayjai Boyd also added a forced fumble for the Bulldogs while making three tackles of his own. Hudson Talley led the Cavaliers offense throwing for 220 yards with three scores while Demarius Foster led the rushing attack with 83 yards on eight carries with two scores. Boiling Springs will return to action next Friday night when they travel to Byrnes for another region matchup as the Rebels fell to Spartanburg 36-23 on Thursday night. Comments are closed.
