September 3, 2011
It was big win at home Friday night for the Flomaton Hurricanes as they downed Southern Choctaw 35-7.
UPDATE: One Southern Choctaw player was killed and about 30 others injured in a bus accident following the game. Click here for details.
After a scoreless first quarter, Flomaton hit the end zone on the second play of the second quarter with a 30 yard run by Ryheem Dixon and a good kick from Corey Busbee, 7-0. The Canes capped a 60-yard drive with a 15 yard pass from Dixon to Jacob Newton with 1:36 in the half. Busbee, 5 for 5 through the uprights under the Friday night lights, added the point after, and the Canes were up 14-0 at the half.
Flomaton scored again in the third with a 3 yard run by Nieko Robinson and a good kick, 21-0. The Southern Choctaw Indians answered the score less than a minute later, 21-7.
In the fourth, the Canes struck again with a 13 yard touchdown pass from Dixon to Austin Patterson and a good kick, 28-7. After Patterson intercepted, Flomaton scored again on a 4 yard run by Ladarius Thomas, 35-7.
Following the game, a 16-year old Southern Choctaw player was airlifted by LifeFlight to a Pensacola hospital after suffering an apparent head or neck injury during the game. His condition was not available late Friday night.
The Flomaton Hurricanes will travel to Monroe County next Friday night take on J.U. Blacksher.
