Dragons keep rolling in Jacksonville

by Joel Worthington

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Dragons football team traveled to Florida this weekend for a matchup with new SIAC member Edward Waters.
 
Lane fell behind 5-0 in the first quarter after an Edward Waters safety and field goal but bounced back to score points on their next three drives.

First, it was Ike Brown taking it in the end zone from 1-yard out. Next, Anthony Evelyn scored the first of his three touchdowns on a 6-yard pass from Michael Huntley. Noah Shalz capped the scoring streak on the next possession when he connected on a field goal from 22 yards out.
 
The Dragons never enjoyed much of a cushion as EWU continued to answer the visitor's scoring, taking the lead 17-16 halfway through the second quarter. The hosts were driving again as the first half was winding down until they stalled in the red zone with under 30 seconds remaining. A field goal attempt was blocked by Flakewood Tucker and recovered by Jeffrey Johnson who returned it 80 yards for a touchdown and a halftime lead, 24-17.
 
The Tigers added a field goal midway through the third quarter and Lane responded with an 11 play, 90-yard drive capped by a touchdown pass from Huntley to Evelyn from 17 yards out.
 
EWU came right back with a touchdown drive and two-point conversion to make it just a field goal lead for Lane.
 
The margin lasted almost no time as Evelyn took the ensuing kickoff back 91 yards to the house to push the lead back to 10 points.
 
O'Joshua Bunton iced the game in the fourth quarter when he went up over a defender to snag a Huntley pass on 3rd and 13 and took it 83 yards for a touchdown.
 
Huntley had a career day, finishing 14-of-21 for 325 yards and three touchdowns.
 
Evelyn ended with 290 all-purpose yards and three total touchdowns.
 
Mackenzie Howard and Andrew Farmer led the defense. Howard had 13 total tackles while Farmer recorded nine including one sack and a pass break up.

The Dragons defensive unit collected six sacks, including two from defensive lineman JaQuintis Summers.
 
After the spending the first month of the season on the road, Lane will play a home game next Saturday when they host Texas College for Homecoming. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:00 PM.
