ROCK HILL @ GAFFNEY RECAP

It was all Gaffney last night at The Reservation, as the Indians jumped on Rock Hill early and coasted to a 28 to 3 victory over the Bearcats. The sweet thing about this win was it came against former Gaffney Head Coach Joe Montgomery. The Indians were again led offensively by QB DeEdward Burris, as he had 10 rushes for 103 yards and 2 TDs. He also passed for 200 yards. The Gaffney defense held Rock Hill to 222 total yards and forced 4 turnovers. The Gaffney offense had 401 total yards and 1 turnover. Lets look at the game.

FIRST QUARTER

The Tribe got off to a fast start by scoring on their first three possessions of the game. The first possession ended with Burris scoring on a 1-yard run. The second possession resulted in a 40-yard run by RB C.J. Miller. The third score of the first quarter was a run for the highlight reel, as Burris ran, broke tackles and zigzagged his way to a 38-yard TD run. The Gaffney defense held Rock Hill scoreless and led 21 to 0 after the first quarter.

SECOND QUARTER

The second quarter had Rock Hill running the Wildcat offense and eating up time of possession, as they were able to get a field goal to cut the lead to 21 to 3. The Indians moved the ball, but turned it over with a fumble and led 21 to 3 at halftime.

THIRD QUARTER

The third quarter started with Rock Hill putting together their best drive of the game, as they drove deep into Gaffney territory, but the Tribe's defense forced a fumble at the 10 yard line. The Indians would put together a 90-yard drive, that ended with back-up QB Joey Copeland scoring from 1-yard out, from the Wild Indian formation. The Tribe led 28 to 3 after the third quarter.

FORTH QUARTER

Gaffney Head Coach Dan Jones would empty his bench in the forth quarter and the Indians didn't score any more points, but were able to keep the Bearcats off of the score board. The final score of the game was 28 to 3.

My View From The Stands..... (1) I saw a dominating performance by the Indians on both sides of the football. (2) The visitors side of The Reservation was almost empty. Maybe the Rock Hill fans knew how the game was going to play out. (3) I saw a Gaffney kicking game that has improved quiet a bit, since the open date. (4) I saw a Gaffney offense that continues to make big plays.

TRIBE FACTS..... The Gaffney Indians are 3 and 1 against former Coach Joe Montgomery.

Until Next Time.
