“Monkey off the Back”; Creek Wood Gets First Win

Posted on by

After the rain and a 30 minute lightning delay, Creek Wood was finally able to get their first win of the season by beating Waverly Central 30 to 7.

“It feels good to have the monkey of the back,” Head Coach Chuck Daniel said after the end of the game. Creek Wood was able to put together their most impressive outing of the season both offensively and defensively.

Waverly was the first to score in the first quarter thanks to a 2 yard touchdown run by quarterback Hunter Hamm. But, it was all Creek Wood after that. Quarterback Ian Spence had 2 rushing touchdowns, and he also kicked a 30 yard field goal before he had to leave the game in the fourth quarter due to cramps. Justin Tummons had a 4 yard rushing touchdown along with a 27 yard interception returned for a touchdown.

Creek Wood had to sit through a 30 minute lightning delay with 8 minutes left to go in the 4th quarter. After that happened, Creek Wood was able to run the clock out and get their first win of the season.

Creek Wood will host Montgomery Central on Friday. Montgomery Central’s Head Coach Jeff Tomlinson was Creek Wood’s offensive coordinator last year.

Quarterback Ian Spence had to leave the game because of a leg cramp in the 4thquarter. Coach Daniel said he would be fine for the next game.

First Win Slips Away From Creek Wood

Creek Wood had a chance to get their first win of the year, but the big play bug struck again, and Stewart County came away with a 14-7 win.

Creek Wood jumped out to an early lead with a 34 yard touchdown pass by Ian Spence to Chris Rayburn early in the second quarter. The Red Hawk’s defense was solid the entire first half, forcing 4 three-and-outs and forcing a fumble. Creek Wood led at the half 7-0.

In the second half, Creek Wood’s offense stalled. They managed to move the football, but could not find a way to put points on the board. They missed three field goals altogether in the game, and were not able to score through the final two quarters.

In the third, Creek Wood was forced to punt out of their own territory. Stewart County got a great push and was able to block the punt and recover it inside the Red Hawk’s 20 yard line. A rushing touchdown two plays later tied the game up for Stewart County.

After Creek Wood stalled again on offense, Stewart County got the ball back on their own 14 yard line. On a play action pass, Stewart County connected for an 86 yard touchdown on the first play of the drive. This gave them a 14 to 7 lead midway through the fourth quarter. Creek Wood would get a last chance to tie the game, but the clock ran out before the Red Hawks could finish off the drive.

Creek Wood suffered two injuries during the game. Austin Newsom had to come off the field with what appeared to be concussion like symptoms. Gage Terry re-injured his shoulder which has been bothering him all year. Both players hope to be ready on Friday when Creek Wood travels to Waverly.

Red zone woes have plagues Creek Wood this season, the last two weeks they have entered the red zone six times and left with zero points. After two straight shutouts and 7 interceptions thrown by quarterback Ian Spence the Redhawks will try and right the ship against a one and three Rebels team that is coming off of a 28-14 loss to Houston County last week. Friday night’s game can be heard on rfcsports.com with pregame starting at 7 and kickoff set for 7:30pm.

Dickson County

After overcoming the “Homecoming Hangover” last week by beating a tough Springfield squad, the Cougars look to keep rolling on the road versus the Coyotes of West Creek. Winless on the season the Coyotes are coming off a 63-7 loss to Henry County and a win over the District leading Cougars could salvage their season. Dickson on the other hand is unbeaten at 6-0(4-0) and in control of the District 10 AAA standings. Last week’s challenge from Springfield showed that the Cougars are not invincible and still have work to do. The Yellow Jackets kept the Dickson offense out of the end zone and forced five Mitch Mersman field goal attempts to win the game. Friday’s game can be heard on the RFC Sports Network with pregame at 7 and kickoff at 7:30pm.
