Despite temperatures in excess of 100 degrees, fans turned

The event, sponsored by the McKenzie Football Booster Club,
featured play from middle school teams Inman, USJ, Henry,
West Carroll, Hollow Rock-Bruceton, Medina, Dresden,
Huntingdon, Lexington, Martin, Camden, Lakewood, and
McKenzie.
The Huntingdon Mustangs took on the Dresden Lions in the
next contest. The lions recovered a Mustang fumble on
the second play of the game at Huntingdon's 47 yard line and
scored four plays later as Josh Bone ran off left tackle to
score from 22 yards out. Gatlin Hatchel scored the
two-point conversion on a toss sweep to the right to give
the Lions an 8-0 lead at the 6:12 mark of the 1st quarter.
Following a punt by Huntingdon, the Lions remained on
offense for the remainder of the 1st quarter.

Lions claim win over Halls in annual First Look Scrimmage |
|
The Dresden Lions traveled to Dyer
County High School at Newbern this past Friday night to
participate in the 1st Look Scrimmage sponsored by Sports
Plus Rehab Centers. The Lions came away with a win
over the Halls Tigers in the scrimmage by a 7-0 after 40
minutes of clock play.
The scrimmage was the second time
Lions' fans had seen Dresden in preseason action this year.
The Lions had previously scrimmaged the Dyer County Choctaws
the prior Friday night. The Lions have been working to
implement new offensive and defensive schemes under the
direction of new head coach Eric Knott. The scrimmages
have given the Dresden coaching staff an opportunity to gage
the success of the new schemes and player assignments.
During the 1st Look Scrimmage, there were no kick-offs and
punts and extra points were performed without defensive
pressure.
Halls was first on offense starting
at their own 30 yard line. The Tigers were able to
advance the ball 15 yards over the course of seven plays
before being forced to punt from their own 45-yard line.
Dresden then took over at their own 30 and advanced to the
Tiger 11 yard line before turning the ball over on downs on
the eleventh play of the offensive series. Key plays
of the offensive series were two runs of 13 yards each by
quarterback Austin Evans and an 11-yard carry by senior
running back Clay Adams.
