Dyersburg, the third-ranked Class 3A team in the state's Associated Press ratings, took advantage of five turnovers to claim a 30-0 victory over host Martin-Westview.
The Chargers never could develop any offensive rhythm and put their defense in bad spots. Charger coach Jarod Neal bemoaned the gifts to the Trojans.
"When you turn the ball over five times, you won't win anything," Neal said, noting a silver lining. "We had three interceptions in the first half and were only down 9-0."
It wasn't all bad for the Chargers. Miles Vincent was 18-22 for 154 yards passing. Donteze Joy had seven catches for 70 yards to lead the receivers. Punter Jack Hayes Allen punted four times for a 44-yard average.
