RED BOILING SPRINGS – Cosby traveled to Red Boiling Springs on Friday night to face the winless Bulldogs and came away with a 20-0 shut out loss.<\/p>\n
Corey Askew received the opening kickoff and set the Eagles up in prime real estate at the Bulldogs’ 35-yard line. Tyler Turner went into the end zone for a score, but it was called back for holding. Cosby was unable to capitalize on the opening field position.<\/p>\n
“After they called that one back it was hard for us to get our heads back in the game,” Cosby head coach Kevin Hall said.<\/p>\n
Red Boiling Springs got on the board in the first quarter, as Jordan Bohanan went into the end zone for a 3-yard touchdown run. The two-point conversion attempt was successful, as quarterback Aubrey Link passed to Zachary Carter, giving the Bulldogs an 8-0 lead.<\/p>\n
A 44-yard touchdown run by Carter with 2:48 remaining in the first half would give Red Boiling Springs a 14-0 halftime lead.<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs added one more score with 3:40 left in the third quarter, as Bohanan ran for a 6-yard score. The two-point conversion attempt was no good, leaving Red Boiling Springs with a 20-0 lead, which would be the final score.<\/p>\n
Cosby was held to 94 total yards, while the Bulldogs tallied 276 yards with 249 coming on the ground.<\/p>\n
The Eagles were missing several players at key positions, including last week’s leading receiver Hayden Green and Devonte Wigfall.<\/p>\n
“I believe if we had those guys, this game would have been closer,” Hall said. “We had some guys step up tonight and play their butts off.”<\/p>\n
Tyler Turner led Cosby with 49 yards on 3-of-10 passing, while Nate Joyce ran for 17 yards on six carries. Kaden Johnson added 15 yards on five carries.<\/p>\n
Jordan Bohanan led all rushers with 123 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries, while Carter added 74 yards on six carries for the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n
Cosby’s Brayden Hall had a nice game for the Eagles, breaking up three passes, making four tackles and recovering a fumble.<\/p>\n
Cosby (0-4) will have the week off\u00a0 next Friday to try and correct some mistakes. The Eagles will be back in action on Friday, September 24 at Cloudland (3-1). Red Boiling Springs (1-1) will travel to North Greene to take on the 1-3 Huskies on Friday night.<\/p>\n
“We missed some tackles tonight,” Hall said. “With the week off, we’re going to work on tackling and take that week to tweak a few things.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
