Hounds Outrun Panthers

This is was a game where the crew running the chains had to wear track shoes to keep up with all the scoring.  South and Dixie combined for a total of 96 points on opening night.  The scoring stayed relatively even until the 4th quarter when Dixie's Dakota Grice scored a go ahead touch down - catching a Devin Worley pass and Hall kicked a critical extra point to make it a 2 score game.  Then Grice ran in an extra touchdown to put the game out of reach.  South attempted one last drive, and who else but Grice dashed any hope of a Panther comeback with an interception to end the game.  The final score was Dixie 56 and South 40. 

Dixie scored on their first play from scrimmage with Worley connecting with Grice for a 65 yard TD.  But South's Ryan Bassler ran nearly the length of the field on South's first offensive play and CJ Clark punched the ball in from the 3 yard line and the scoring race was on.  Dixie maintained a lead for most of the night but South briefly lead 22-21 in the 2nd quarter but allowed Dixie to score just before halftime to regain the lead 28-22.  In the second half, the Dixie defense was able to get better pressure on South's Cade Cottingim and got several sacks.  This slowed down the Panther offense and they just could not keep pace with the Hounds offense who consistently scored twice in each quarter.
