PREP FOOTBALL: Cullman pulls away from Jackson-Olin for 42-13 road win
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Cullman turned a tie game after one quarter into a comfortable halftime advantage and continued to pull away Friday night, defeating Jackson-Olin 42-13 in Class 5A, Region 5 play. Jackson-Olin struck first, and Braxton Brooks secured the ensuing kickoff near the Cullman 30-yard line. Sophomore running back Parker Smith gained 6 yards on the Bearcats’ first snap, and a personal-foul penalty against the Mustangs moved the ball into Jackson-Olin territory. Smith then broke another run to approximately the Jackson-Olin 32. That opening Cullman possession ended on downs when quarterback Colt Colvard was stopped short near the 27. Jackson-Olin crossed midfield on its next series, but multiple holding penalties disrupted the drive. The Mustangs still held a 7-0 lead with 1:21 remaining in the opening period, but Cullman answered before the quarter ended to pull even at 7-all. The Bearcats took control during the second quarter, scoring 14 unanswered points to carry a 21-7 lead into halftime. Cullman continued building its advantage after the break, adding 14 points in the third quarter while Jackson-Olin scored six. The Bearcats led 35-13 entering the fourth.
