Tigers Pound Panthers

10/2/08
By: Clint Cox

The Graceville Tigers offense just keeps on truckin’ as they pounded the Panthers of John Paul II Catholic last Thursday night by a score of 52-14. Quarterback Justin Miles had another fine night, rushing for over 100 yards and a touchdown. Chris Works scored twice for the Tigers and Head Coach Todd Wertenberger went to the bench early to give his backups plenty of playing time. Backup quarterback Garret Steverson played 3 quarters and scored a touchdown.
The Tigers got two early touchdown runs from Works, one from Miles and one from Leron Hoover to make it a 28-0 game as the first quarter came to a close. In the second quarter Antrell Wright returned a kickoff for a score and Steverson scored on a run. The Tigers lead swelled to 44-14 at the half. Cameron Dozier added the final score of the night in the second half as the Tigers romped in the 38 point victory.
The Tigers offense, with over 300 yards on the ground, has now racked up over 1500 yards in rushing in just four games. They are averaging 42.5 points per game this season. With the win Graceville improved to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in district play. They will be in action on Friday when they travel to Vernon to take on the Yellow Jackets in a non-district contest.
