The Eagles football team of Montgomery County High School hosted the Screaming Devils of Warren County last Friday night and ran away with the win. The MCHS defense forced a punt with just 2:46 left in the first quarter. It was a short punt, and the Eagles took over at the Warren 34-yard line. Just two plays later Cameron Wallace went in from 33 yards out for a touchdown, but there was a flag on the play bringing the score back. Jamun Coglin and Jamarion Henderson both had good runs to get the ball to the 27-yard line. On the next play quarterback Tristan Bell found Marquis Martin, who made a nice leaping catch for the touchdown with 53 seconds to go in the first. They missed the extra point, but MCHS led 6-0. Late in the first half Warren County scored their only touchdown of the game with just 30 seconds to go. They tacked on the two-point conversion to take an 8-6 lead. But on the ensuing kickoff, Wallace broke free and took it to the house for an Eagle touchdown. Mario Ortega added the extra point to put MCHS on top 13-8 at halftime.
In the third quarter with just over nine minutes on the clock Wallace broke free for a 50-yard touchdown run to add to the Eagles’ lead. Ortega added the extra point to make it 20-8. Then with 5:20 to go in the third, Jamarion Henderson took it five yards to cap off a drive. Ortega put the PAT through, and the Eagles led 27-8. MCHS scored one more touchdown in the game, this one on a 35-yard run by Martin. They missed the extra point but led 33-8. The Eagles defense kept Warren out of the end zone to win the game by that score. MCHS was led by Wallace with 103 yards rushing, but as a team the Eagles had 182 total yards on the ground.
This week Montgomery will be in Butler to take on Taylor County with kickoff at 7:30 p.m.
