Dresden Enterprise - Covering Weakley County Like the Dew from Heaven for 118 Years

The Greenfield Lady 'Jackets continued their mammoth winning streak, but the DMS girls made sure win No. 44 in that run was not a gimmie, rallying in the second half before falling 38-34 to Greenfield on Monday night at Greenfield.

In boys action, the Yellowjackets cruised to a 53-27 win over Dresden Middle School.

GJHS Lady 'Jackets 38

DMS Lady Lions 34

Though the Lady 'Jackets got off to nearly a double-digit lead in the first half, the Lady Lions rallied to give the Greenfield girls one of their toughest tests of the season.

Greenfield used a 9-2 run to start the game to set the tone for the first half. A pair of free throws from Alex Glisson broke that streak but a late jumper from Taylor Hatcher made the score 11-4 at the end of the first frame.

Led by Hatcher, the Lady 'Jackets jumped out to a nine-point lead early in the second frame, pushing the advantage to 17-8 with four minutes left in the first half. But, the Lady Lions roared back with free throws from Glisson and Kristen Childress and a jumper from Allie Phillips to cut the lead to five points. Greenfield was able to respond with a pair of free throws each from Hatcher and Hannah Moseley as well as a freebie from Haley Rawls, but Dresden answered right back with a pair of Glisson free throws and a Jessica Jones deuce. A Moseley jumper countered a Jones free throw to make the score 24-19 at the end of the first half.

The Dresden Lions traveled to Milan last Friday night to take on the Bulldogs in a Region 8-2A contest. Milan picked a win by outscoring the Lions 35-0 in a hard fought game for both teams.

The Bulldogs picked up their first score midway through the first quarter on a 32-yard pass to Rowdy Tredwell from quarterback Justin Coleman. Jay Fields kicked the extra point to give Milan a 7-0 advantage with 5:47 remaining in the opening frame.

Milan scored its second TD of the game on a three yard run by Jabronski Gilbert with 8:19 remaining in the second quarter. Fields kicked on the PAT was good to give the Bulldogs a 14-0 advantage after finishing off the 54-yard scoring drive.

Milan improved their lead to 21-0 with 1:35 remaining in the first half of play on a 45-yard run by running back J.W. Williams through the center of the Dresden defensive line. Fields kick was good on the PAT to top off the 54 yard three play scoring drive.

Chargers move to 9-0 for first time since 1970

With a Week 10 showdown for the Region 8-2A title with the Milan Bulldogs looming, the Westview Chargers looked to go 9-0 for the first time since 1970 as they traveled to Humboldt on Friday night.

Despite a slow start that has been uncharacteristic for the Chargers in recent weeks, Westview rallied with 38 unanswered points after Humboldt's only touchdown to get a 38-8 win over the Vikings.

Neither team was able to get much going through much of the first frame. In fact, a 10-yard run by Vincent Brown was the game's first first down, coming on the final play of the first frame. A pass from Darren Dunbar to Chauncey Hunt followed that to open the second frame and covered 34 yards to take the Vikings across midfield. Though the Charger defense stalled the Humboldt drive, the Vikings pulled the proverbial trick out of their sleeve as Hunt took the snap on a punt attempt and raced 30 yards to the Westview 10-yard line for another Viking first down. Westview's defense tightened up again, but on a fourth-and-goal from the 4-yard line, Dunbar found Jason Barker towards the side of the end zone for the touchdown. The Vikings then faked the PAT, as Max Arnold hit Hunt for the two-point conversion to make the score 8-0 with 8:04 left in the first half.

Westview's offense awakened from its slumber as Harrison Moore took the first play of the next drive for a 10-yard keeper, giving the Chargers the first down - their first of the game. J.C. Griggs followed with a 15-yard run, then, two plays later, DiMarcus Williams added a 14-yard pickup to give the Chargers a pair of first downs. But, the drive stalled at the 11-yard line. Westview did get on the scoreboard though as Hyuntae Kim booted a 27-yard field goal to make the score 8-3 with 4:26 left in the half.
