GAFFNEY @ CLOVER RECAP (2011)

Copeland Throws For 6 TD's, as Tribe Rolls over Clover 55 to 3. It took the Gaffney offense a little while to get rolling, but roll they did. The Tribe led only 7 to 0 after the 1st quarter, on a 19-yard TD pass from Joey Copeland to Quinshad Davis. The defense started off strong and played well all night.

The Tribe scored on two more Copeland TD passes of 18-yards and 13-yards, in the 2nd quarter, to lead 20 to 0 at the half. Copeland was halfway to his 6 TD passes by halftime. The Gaffney running game and defense also played well.

The 3rd quarter was more of the same, as Copeland threw 3 more TD passes and the defense was still dominant, with a good running game mixed in. That is what you call a good recipe for a dominating victory. The Tribe led 41 to 0 after the 3rd quarter.

In the 4th quarter, Clover finally dented the score board with a 35-yard field goal. The Tribe's reserves would add two more scores, on a 10-yard TD pass from Luke Lancaster to Ryan Frock and a 5-yard run by Joey Gaines. The final score was a dominating 55 to 3 win by the Tribe.

My View From The Stands..... (1) I saw a Gaffney team come out and take care of business against a depleted football team. (2) This was not the typical game with Clover. The three previous games were very close football games. (3) They still need to cut down on penalties. They had 8 penalties in this game.

Until Next Time.
