Running between the tackles. Ball control. Time management. The Tigers did absolutely nothing fancy as they throw a total of 3 passes and run to the outside a total of three times but totally dismantle the Bulldog defense to the tune of 35 - 3. The Sheffield defense was on the field for 77 plays while the Bulldog offense managed only 26 plays. A very workmanlike, methodical, yet dominating performance by the Tigers. The offensive line helped the Tigers rush for over 250 yards against the areas #2 ranked scoring defense. CJ Jackson led the way with 122 yards on 20 carries. Brian Puckett was in the Sheffield backfield making plays behind the line and recovered a fumble as he led a solid defensive effort for the second week in a row. Sheffield struck first on their opening drive by kicking a 37 yard FG to take the lead 3-0 after Charles Jacksons 30 yard run. Then LCHS scored to go ahead 7-3 after a 15 play 53 yard drive in which no play went for over 7 yards. In the second quarter the Tigers take a 14 - 3 lead after a 9 play drive in which Jackson scores from 3 yards out and accounted for 43 of the 60 yards on the drive. The Tigers open the 3rd quarter with another long drive eating up 13 plays and 68 yards as Jake Newton scores for a 21-3 lead. After Hunter Haney forces a fumble and Puckett recovers, the Tigers finish off the Bulldogs with 2 more TD's in the fourth. The win moves LCHS to 6-1 on the year and a solid second in the region behind Rogers. Sheffield drops to 5-2 on the year and is also 4-1 in the region like LCHS but is behind them in the standings because of the head-to-head loss. Sheffield will host Rogers next week. A win could force a three way tie for the title while the Tigers will travel to Danville.
