Lady Bulldogs maul Tate
Four Lady Bulldogs found the end zone for a touchdown. Crestview also had four interceptions in a strong showing on both sides of the line of scrimmage.
The first quarter was scoreless, but the rest of the game was all Crestview.
Kennedy Baluran scored the first touchdown of the game with 10 minutes left in the second quarter.
Baluran then had the first of her two interceptions with 5:09 left in the second quarter. The interception set up a touchdown pass from Kaitlyn Kemp to Kenzie Sheffield with 3:25 left in the half.
The Lady Aggies were driving late in the half before Taylor Gaston intercepted a pass with 34 seconds before the break.
Baluran had her second interception of the night with a little more than four minutes left in the third quarter. Once again Crestview cashed in on the Tate turnover with Kemp hitting Mjay Johnson with a touchdown pass to make the score 18-0 heading into the fourth quarter.
Sheffield intercepted a pass and took it deep into Tate territory a minute into the fourth quarter. Kemp ran in for the touchdown on the next play to make the score 24-0. Crestview added the extra point on a pass from Kemp to Baluran to close out the scoring on the night.
Lady Bulldog coach Damon Welch had mixed emotions about the win.
“I’m glad that we won,” he said. “But I’m not glad because we still made too many little mistakes. We’ve got to clean up the little mistakes before we can be a true competitor (for the playoffs).
“If we play like this tomorrow (against Navarre), it’s going to be a much closer game. If we can clean up the little stuff, it should be a good game.”
