Three NWE Teams Advance To Escambia River Conference Finals
October 29, 2013
Three of four Northwest Escambia teams will play in the Escambia River Conference football championships this Saturday at Jay High School.
In action last Saturday:
The NWE Sophomores beat Baker 40-6.
Arquavian Smith had two long touchdown runs, TJ Wright had one touchdown and Kaden Odom had two touchdowns and two extra points. Nolin Godwin and Damius Wesley each had an extra point.
Kaden Odom made several key tackles on an interception he ran in for a touchdown. Cooper Martinez had one sack and several tackles, and Damius Wesley chased down a Baker running back on a long run and tackled him on 1-yard line to stop a Baker touchdown.
The Eagles Sophomores defense recovered two fumbles, made several stops in the backfield and shut down Baker’s offense on several key plays. The NWE Sophomores will take on Poarch Saturday at 2:30 p.m. in Jay.
The NWE Juniors shut out Neal 49-0.
Jayden Jackson, Jaheem Durant and Dariontae Richardson all had multiple touchdowns for the Eagles. Michael Merchant and Jaden Cunningham both scored one touch down each and multiple extra points.
The NWE defense played a hard game forcing three fumbles — two recovered by Durant and one by Ki-Jauna Carter.
Da’Marion Findley, Merchant, Richardson all made stops in the back field. Jackson stripped the ball from a Neal player late in the game and ran it in from 40 yards out for a touchdown. Jackson and Durant both ran for over 100 yards.
The NWE Juniors will take on Jay at 4:00 Saturday.
The NWE Seniors shut out Jay 33-0.
Aunterio Minor scored two rushing touchdowns for NWE. Trent Kite scored one touchdown, Cameron Cloud threw a pass to Seth Killam for a touchdown, and Killam added a 25 -yard field goal.
The defense played hard to shut out Jay. The NWE seniors have played tough all season, leaving opponents scoreless in six games.
The NWE Seniors will take on Flomaton Saturday at 6:00 in Jay.
