Straughn Middle School’s Johnny Owens’ 1-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-goal led to his team’s 6-0 victory over Greenville on Thursday night in Greenville.

“It was a really wet night,” Straughn coach Benjie Kinsaul said. “It helped us on the wet night because they run out of the shotgun and they had a few fumbles.

“We then settled down and adjusted to their offense,” he said. “I was proud of the way the defense played as well as the offense. They did a good job of blocking and running and holding onto the ball.”

Straughn will travel to play city rival Andalusia next Thursday night. The seventh grade team will start at 5:30 p.m.

Andalusia 6, Opp 0

It was another wet victory for the Andalusia Middle School football team Thursday night as they defeated Opp by one touchdown.

The touchdown came in the fourth quarter with 45 seconds left on the clock.

Andalusia’s Michael McCalman threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to Ross Graham for the win.

The Bulldogs will host Straughn next Thursday night at 5:30 p.m.
