Former Vol quarterback leads Concord Christian to first playoff win
Concord Christian School defeated Fayette Academy (Somerville, Tennessee), 49-21, Friday in the opening round of the TSSAA Division II-A playoffs at Bill Clabo Field in Farragut, Tennessee. The victory was the first postseason win in Concord Christian (8-3) program history. Former Tennessee quarterback Steve Matthews serves as the Lions' head coach. Concord Christian led Fayette Academy (6-5), 35-0, after the first quarter. The Lions scored on their first offensive play when freshman quarterback Dylan Brown completed an 80-yard touchdown pass to Dasani Moulden. "We knew they had a long trip from and we wanted to come out and score early," Matthews told Vols Wire. "We like to start fast, especially against a Wing-T team, try to get them in a hole to where it gets them in a hole, where it takes them out of what they like to do. "We wanted to get ahead of them because teams that run the Wing-T have a hard time catching up when they get behind." Brown completed 10-of-12 passing attempts for 289 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Sophomore running back Maurice Smith totaled 114 rushing yards and two touchdowns on five attempts for the Lions. Concord Christian will play on Nov.
