ERWIN – Cosby fell to 0-2 Friday night, as Unicoi County blew out the Eagles 44-0 behind four touchdowns combined from Nehemiah Edwards and Caleb Pelaez.<\/p>\n

Palaez had an 11-yard touchdown run and also returned an interception 48 yards for a touchdown.<\/p>\n

The route was on early, as Edwards went 59 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. The junior also scored on a 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Edwards finished the night with 80 yards and two scores on six carries, while Palaez ran for 76 yards on six rushes.<\/p>\n

“They are two good ones,” Unicoi County head coach Drew Rice said after the game. “As the season went on last year, we were playing a lot of sophomores and you could see them gaining experience.”<\/p>\n

The Blue Devils took a 37-0 lead into halftime, as Esteban Mendoza made a 34-yard field goal and Bryson Peterson found Brayden Hendrickson for a 9-yard touchdown in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

The Eagles completed just five passes for -9 yards in the first half, as Cosby’s Tyler Turner was constantly under pressure and unable to get in a rhythm.<\/p>\n

Bransan Salts would score the game’s final touchdown during the third quarter, running for a 31-yard score to increase the Unicoi County lead to 44-0, which would be the final margin.<\/p>\n

Cosby (0-2) will host Jellico (0-2) in a Class 1A Region 1 matchup. The Blue Devils defeated Cosby 52-6 in 2020.<\/p>\n

“Every game is important, but this is a region game and for them to be our rival, we need to win this one,” Cosby head coach Kevin Hall said.<\/p>\n

Unicoi County (2-0) is coming off wins against Cosby and Northview Academy and will travel to North Carolina Friday to face Madison County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
