Box Score Golden Bears Spoil Dragons Homecoming
Jackson, TN
“Quarterback Bradley Landrum is in the shot-gun formation, tosses one up to the left side, Hollis Moore jumps, stays on his feet, He-Could-Go-All-The-Way; Touchdown Dragons 79-yards!”  This play brought the over-flow crowd to their feet as the Dragons tied the score 7-7 early in the first quarter of the 2012 Homecoming game.

The Dragons scored a go-ahead touchdown in the second quarter as McKinsley Marbury connected with Moore (his 2^nd) on a 13-yard touchdown pass. David Castillo booted the extra point giving the Dragons a 14-7 lead. With two minutes remaining in the first-half, Golden Bears' Quarterback David Thomas called his own number, and scampered in from 4 yards out for the game-tying (14-14) touchdown.

The third quarter did not produce favorable results for the Dragons as the Golden Bears scored a touchdown and a field goal to take a 24-14 lead. The Dragons were forced to punt on five possessions during the quarter leading to the ten-point lead. The fourth quarter was much like the third as the Golden Bears added a touchdown to extend the lead to 31-14. Marbury connected with Dragons receiver Johnny Ivey mid-way of the quarter for a 53-yard touchdown pass. A bad snap on the extra point attempt created a missed extra point for a 31-20 score. The Golden Bears added a late touchdown for the final score of 38-20.

The Dragons used the two quarterback system (Landrum & Marbury) which combined for 358 total yards offensively (290 passing, 68 rushing). Hollis Moore led the receiving group with 7 receptions for 106-yards and 2 touchdowns. Johnny Ivey hauled in 4 passes for 86 yards and 1 touchdown. For the Defensive unit, Paris Hopper and Mike Todd led all tacklers with 10 tackles each. Antwon Freeman and Mike Ruffin each collected an interception for the Dragons.

The Dragons (3-5, 1-4) will load the bus and travel to Frankfort, KY next week (October 27) to take on the Kentucky State Thorobreds (1-6, 0-5). Kick-off is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
