Woodford Co. 49 Montgomery Co. 0

"That was awesome tonight, and I don't use that word very often," Woodford County Yellow Jacket head coach Chris Tracy told his team after they whipped the Indians 49-0.

It was a pretty impressive performance, especially on the defensive side of the ball. I kind of expected the Jackets to hang a lot of points on Montgomery Co., but I was really surprised the way the defense completely shut them down through the entire game.

The Yellow Jacket D allowed Montgomery Co. only 96 yards in offense, and a chunk of that came in the final Indian drive against Woodfords' second and third string. Last week the Jackets looked vulnerable to the run, but last night they swarmed to the ball and stuffed any semblance of an Indian running game.

Tracey made a great coaching move by shifting senior Colin Smith from nose-tackle to defensive end, allowing Smith to utilize his speed. He wrecked havoc in the Indian backfield and stymied the Montgomery quarterback's roll-out passing style.

The Yellow Jackets rolled up 477 yards and senior quarterback Steven Duckworth threw five touchdown passes. The running game looked solid as well. I'll be interested to see the complete stats breakdown on Monday.
