Football dominates on Homecoming

by Joel Worthington

JACKSON, Tenn. – It was all gas and no brakes for the Lane football team as the defense pitched a shutout on Homecoming while the offense posted a school-record 71 points. *
 
It had been 693 days since the Dragons hosted a football game and while a steady rain fell over Lane Stadium throughout the day, the capacity crowd never wavered as the bleachers remained full until the final whistle.
 
"We had a good game plan and the guys executed from start to finish," said head coach Vyron Brown. "It was good to play at home in front of our fans and we appreciate the support they showed us today."
 
Of the eye-popping statistics from today's game, perhaps the most impressive is that the Lane defense surrendered just 39 total yards, including only three net yards rushing.
 
Senior Jeffrey Johnson led the way with eight total tackles including 3.0 tackles for loss.
 
The defensive unit collected 12 tackles for loss, picked off Texas quarterbacks twice, and blocked two punts.
 
Freshman JaQuintis Summers racked up five tackles including 1.0 for loss from his defensive tackle position while Walton Thompson and Nijul Canada registered interceptions.
 
The offense had their way despite the wet field conditions, torching the Steers defense for 506 yards. Reigning SIAC Offensive Player of the Week Michael Huntley completed 11-of-14 passes for 313 yards and four touchdowns in just one half of play. O'Joshua Bunton led the receiving corps with three catches for 125 yards and a touchdown.
 
It was a balanced attack as the Dragons rushed for 172 yards. Freshman Ike Brown found the endzone three times on 20 carries, netting 64 yards on the ground. Fellow freshmen Rodriquez London and Kylan Duhe also scored touchdowns.
 
The Dragons will travel to Frankfort, KY for a SIAC West matchup with the Thorobreds of Kentucky State. Game time is scheduled for 2:00 PM EST.
