Peewee Gold loses nail biter, 6-0

The Peewee Gold Team lost its first game of the regular season Saturday in a defensive struggle against the Fentress County Bulldogs.

Ryan Thompson was the Tigers’ leading offensive threat Saturday.

The Black and Gold defense played well throughout, forcing two fumbles in the game and allowing only one play over 15 yards in the contest, and only 3 plays in double digit yardage.

The one they allowed, unfortunately, was the difference in the game.

Early in the fourth quarter, with neither team yet to break onto the scoreboard, Fentress County broke off a massive 35 yard run to the endzone that gave the Bulldogs the lead.  Their PAT failed, however, and the Tigers found themselves down, 6-0.

It looked like the Tigers would answer back, however, as Ryan Thompson burst
