Gordonsville at Clay County – Friday, September 20, 2019
The Gordonsville Tigers fell to 1-4 on the season Friday night, and 1-1 in region play, as they lost 35-6 to the Clay County Bulldogs.
The Tigers were able to answer with a score of their own with nine minutes left in the second quarter off a two yard touchdown rush up the middle by Wyatt Pemberton. A failed two point conversion left Gordonsville down 8-6. This remained the score until halftime.
After halftime, Clay County put their foot on the gas and didn’t look back. The Bulldogs struck halfway through the third quarter to go ahead to a 14-6 lead. The Tigers weren’t able to respond, giving up three more unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter to make the final score 35-6.
What’s next for the Tigers?
The Tigers will look to bounce back from their losing streak with a win next week against Coalfield during homecoming. Injuries have been the biggest storyline of the Tigers and have hurt the team’s depth. Gordonsville will need some new faces to step up in the coming weeks to try and get back on track.
