Athletic News! Big Red Weekend Recap: It was homecoming weekend for the Big Red and it was a good and busy one! It all started on Friday night when the football team hosted New London on homecoming night. The Big Red used a fast start and would cruise to a much needed conference win over the Wildcats. They would only need to throw one pass play the entire night but that one was a good that one that got things rolling when Lincoln Distl connected with Eli Keefe for a 43 yard TD pass and run that made the score 7-0. Ethan Keefe would then extend the lead to 14-0 when he took one to the house from 68 yards out as the Big Red took control. New London would score on a trick play on a 4th down conversion to make the score 14-6 before the Big Red would add two more rushing TD's at the end of the half, one by Ethan Keefe and one be Owen Wright to make the score 26-6 at the half. Isaiah Miller would then get in on the fun in the 3rd quarter with a 36 yard TD run to make it 33-6 before Noah Montgomery added one to make it 40-6 and the running clock was on during the 4th quarter. New London would add a late TD to make the final score 40-12 as the Big Red improve to 2-6 overall and 1-4 in conference play. They will be home for the final time this season on Friday night when they host Monroeville on senior night. Saturday was a day full of conference meets and tournaments as the cross country team hosted the conference championship meet while the MS volleyball teams competed in their respective tournaments.
