The Riversprings Bears bid for an undefeated season ended Thursday night, October 25th in Madison County, as the Bears fell short to the Broncos 22-6. According to Head Coach Joe Jacobs, “We came out of the gate hot, and after the first four plays it looked like we would roll right down the field and score.” Instead, the Bears would turn the ball over, and the Madison County squad would never look back.
The RMS offense was led by running back Demetrius Lindsey, who had 12 carries and 87 yards rushing. Dillon Norman had 22 yards on 2 carries, but was injured early in the contest. “We missed Dillon in a big way. After Jordan, Dillon knows the offense probably better than anybody on the team,” Jacobs said. He also added, “ Dillon is also our punter, and field position was key in the game. Madison’s last touchdown came with about one minute to go in the first half, and with Dillon out we had to go for a fourth and long deep in our territory.” Riversprings only touchdown came in the third quarter on a 24-yard pass from quarterback Jordan Montague to Damonta Morris.
Brandon Morgan and Ryan Henderson, each chipping in five tackles respectively, led the Bears defensively. Luke Taylor, Dalton Norman, and Demetrius Lindsey also had four tackles each. Luke Taylor and Ivery Guyton also forced fumbles on the night. “Our defense struggled in the first half, but came out and played more like their usual selves in the second half,” Coach Jacobs said.
The Bears will look to rebound on Thursday night November 1st, when they take on their cross-county rivals from Wakulla Middle School for the County Champioship. The game will be at JD Jones Stadium at Reynolds field at 7:00 P.M. RMS will be the visiting team.
