For the second straight week the Boiling Springs football team made a trip to Greenville County and for the second straight week it didn’t go in favor of the Bulldogs as they fell 58-7 to Mauldin on Friday night.
The game was 7-0 most of the first half with the only touchdown coming when Mauldin quarterback Emory Watson found Aaron Bowers for a seventeen yard touchdown pass across the middle to put the Mavericks ahead. In the final five minutes of the second quarter is when Mauldin put the distance between themselves and the Bulldogs as they scored twenty-three unanswered points to end the half. Mavericks running back Kelvin Johnson accounted for two touchdowns during that period as he scored from both seventeen yards out and six yards out. Watson connected with Bowers again for another touchdown, a twenty-three yard pass, during the five minute span along with a safety against Boiling Springs to give the Mavericks a 30-0 halftime lead. As numerous plays went against the Bulldogs in the first half, one play kept the Mavericks from adding to their lead when the Bulldogs were pinned deep in their own territory on fourth down, punter Kaillou Touch took the snap and raced around the right side for an eleven yard run and a first down not allowing the Mavericks to get the ball back before halftime. In the second half Kelvin Johnson added two more touchdowns to start the second half for the Mavericks to push their lead to 44-0 over the Bulldogs, scoring from both ten yards out and thirty-nine yards out. Johnson finished the night with 138 yards rushing on fifteen carries for the Mavericks while adding four touchdowns to lead the way for Mauldin on the ground. Boiling Springs’ running back Carmelo Martin added the only score for the Bulldogs on Friday night when he ran through the middle of the Mauldin defense for a fourteen yard touchdown run. Bulldogs running back Kam Williams led the Boiling Springs rushing attack gaining 81 yards on sixteen carries. The Bulldogs’ Calvin Jackson had a strong night along the Boiling Springs defensive line as he registered six tackles including two sacks and two tackles for loss. Hudson Wilson and Joston Miller both added two tackles for loss for the Bulldogs defense as well. Boiling Springs will return to the football field next week when they start region play by hosting 5A #3 Gaffney, who defeated 2A #2 Gray Collegiate 38-35 on Friday night. Comments are closed.
