NICEVILLE – The Graceville Tiger offense just keeps on truckin’ and racked up over 500 yards of rushing in a 56-6 win over Rocky Bayou Christian School last Friday night. It was one of those nights where once the Tigers got rolling, they could not be stopped. Treyshaun White rushed for 3 touchdowns, including the Tigers first score and extra point conversion to make it a 8-0 game. White’s second score of the night came moments later on a 40 yard jaunt. Graceville led 14-0 going into the second quarter when White scored on a 12 yard run. Antrell Wright got into the act with a 12 yard run to give the Tigers a 28-0 lead midway through the second quarter
The Tigers weren’t through though in the half as Chris Works ran for a 17 yard score, Justin Miles added the two point conversion and Jonath Miller scored just before the half ended on a 20 yard run. Works added another score in the third quarter, this time on a 15 yard run to make it 50-0. The Tigers final score of the night came on a 5 yard run by Garrett Steverson. Works finished the night with 156 yards and two scores.
The win improved the Tigers to 5-1 and sets up a big district showdown this Friday night when the FAMU Baby Rattlers come to town. For the last two years the Baby Rattlers won the district championship and the Tigers have been the runner up. The two teams faced each other in the playoffs both years and the Baby Rattlers, with home field advantage, have eliminated the Tigers from the FHSAA playoffs. A win over FAMU this Friday would put the Tigers in a great position to win the district and have the all important home field advantage.
