Scott Central used a ball-control offense to take a 22-7 halftime lead and kept Union at bay in the second half to take a 34-19 lead. Union falls to 1-1 on the season and will host Enterprise on Friday night. Union coach Jordan Wren said the Yellowjackets had trouble getting off the field and stopping Scott Central’s rushing attack.“I thought the biggest thing was our defense couldn’t get off the field,” Wren said. “I was proud of our energy and effort but we have to be able to finish tackles. We only had two drives in the first half and it was 22-7 at the half. I thought we did what we had to do on offense. We averaged 6.5 yards a carry and the quarterback play was great until we had to force the ball downfield. We shot ourselves in the foot and got behind the chains. We have to stay on schedule and can’t get behind the chains. When we were on schedule, we were good. I thought the biggest thing was we couldn’t get off the field on defense.” Union got the ball to start the game and scored in three plays as Kysen Patrick hit Moonie Harris on a 47-yard touchdown pass. Sawyer Robinson’s PAT was good and Union led 7-0 with 10:45 left in the first quarter. But Scott Central answered with a 12-play, 48-yard drive and scored on a 1-yard run. The two-point conversion was good and Scott Central led 8-7. Union put together a 12-play drive but missed a 27-yard field goal after a 12-play drive. Scott then went 80 yards in five plays, scoring on a 5-yard run after a big 75-yard run. The two-point conversion was good and Scott Central led 16-7 with 5:31 left in the second period. Scott recovered an onside kick and then went 42 yards in nine plays, scoring on a 3-yard run with 20 seconds left in the half. The try for two failed and Scott Central led 22-7 at the half. “We are playing three sophomores and two sophomores on defense right now,” Wren said. “We are really young over there. You can’t develop young people if they don’t play. I thought we played better on defense than we did last week. I thought the quarterback at Scott Central was one of the best young players that I have seen in small-school football. He’s going to be a really good one.” Scott got the ball to start the second half and scored on a 33-yard run to go up 28-7 with 10:14 left in the third. Union bounced back and went 68 yards in five plays as Patrick hit Harris on a 14-yard touchdown pass. The PAT failed and Union led 28-13. After forcing a Scott Central punt, Union went 53 yards in seven plays and scored on a 10-yard run by Quinn Harris. The try for two failed and Scott Central held a 28-19 lead. Union then threw interceptions on back-to-back series as Scott Central punched in a late touchdown for the final margin of 34-19. Union had 130 yards rushing and 132 yards passing for 262 yards of total offense. Patrick was 10-of-17 passing for 132 yards with two TDs and three interceptions. Moonie Harris had six catches for 84 yards while Jack Flake had four catches for 43 yards. Quinn Harris had 100 yards rushing on 16 carries. </div></body>
