Jay freshmen win
The Jay County freshman football team overcame what could have been a couple of costly errors in a 20-16 victory over the Muncie Southside Rebels Thursday. The win ended the Patriots season with a 4-2 record.
Jay County looked to be in control with a 14-0 lead, but it evaporated on two big Southside scores in the third quarter. The Rebels found the end zone on a punt return and an interception return to take a 16-14 lead.
But with five minutes left, the Patriots took the ball and decided to eat away the rest of the clock. They did so, with Kaleb Carpenter running in a 25-yard touchdown with just less than a minute left to play.
The defense held strong on Southside’s final try, with Travis Theurer turning in a sack on one of his several big plays during the last series.
The first of Jay County’s scores before the intermission came on a 6-yard run by quarterback Justin Florence, who replaced the departed Josh Johnson. Tom Smith ran in for a 3-yard touchdown in the second quarter, and Florence hit Carpenter for the two-point conversion.
Casey Waters had two fumble recoveries for the Patriot defense, and Smith and Ben Lyons each added one. Zach Chenoweth had an interception.
Chiefs down Blackford
East Jay’s eighth grade football team took care of Blackford in regulation Thursday. The seventh graders needed overtime.
In what was probably the most exciting double-header of the season for the Chiefs, Billy Wellman took care of the game-one heroics.
The seventh grade game ended regulation time in a scoreless tie, sending it into an overtime period in which each team gets the chance to score. Blackford got the ball first, putting six points on the board and the pressure on East Jay.
The Chiefs (4-2) shouldered the load, with Wellman scrambling in for a 10-yard touchdown to tie the game. Then, with another overtime looming if the try failed, Wellman ran in the two-point conversion for the winning score.
Kaeleb Huntsman had an interception in the contest, and Vincent Vasquez, Lance Franklin and Adam Gray were each in on fumble recoveries.
The eighth grade team got by Blackford thanks to a fourth-quarter score by Justin Mann. He ran in on a 6-yard quarterback option.
Mann, Heath Rigby and Aaron Daniels combined for nine completions and 73 yards through the air.
Michael Jobe had eight tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery. Sam Lyons had seven tackles, and Brad Tipton also recovered a fumble.
