ROAN MOUNTAIN – Cosby tied the game at 6-6 in the first quarter, but that is as close as the Eagles would get, as Cloudland jumped out to a 22-6 lead after one quarter and led 46-6 at halftime. The Highlanders would win comfortable by a score of 52-18 and keep a firm grip on first place in Class 1A Region 1.<\/p>\n

Seth Birchfield ran for a 16-yard touchdown to put Cloudland on the board 6-0 with 7:35 left in the first quarter. Cosby would tie the game at 6-6 in the first quarter on a long pass by Tyler Turner.<\/p>\n

A 33-yard touchdown run by Birchfield would allow the Highlanders to retake the lead. Caleb Sluder then scored on a 44-yard run to give Cloudland a 22-6 lead in the final minute of the first quarter.<\/p>\n

The Highlanders intercepted Turner to open the second quarter and capitalized on Birchfield’s third touchdown of the night.<\/p>\n

Cloudland quarterback Chase Shell hit Gage McKinney for a 30-yard touchdown pass. The two-point conversion was successful, as the Highlanders took a 38-6 lead with 8:33 left in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

Birchfield added a 20-yard touchdown run before halftime, as Cloudland took a 46-6 lead into the intermission.<\/p>\n

Cosby added two scores in the second half and Birchfield added his fifth touchdown of the night on a 4-yard touchdown run as the Highlanders cruised to a 52-18 win.<\/p>\n

Birchfield finished with 120 yards and five scores on 12 carries, while Caleb Sluder ran for 132 yards and one touchdown on six carries.<\/p>\n

Shell threw for 58 yards and one score on 4-of-6 passing.<\/p>\n

Cosby (0-5, 0-2 Class 1A Region 1) will travel to North Greene (2-4, 0-2) for a region battle on Friday, while Cloudland (4-1, 3-0 Class 1A Region 1) will host Class 3A West Greene (4-1) in a non-region contest.<\/p>\n
