Jackson, Lumberjacks blow past Bulldogs
By LINDA JACOBS
Sports Writer
CORRIGAN—Diboll de railed
the Comgan-Camden Bulldogs'
hopes of * District 19-3A victory
Friday night by scoring 31 points in
the second quarter, which was all
and more than what was needed in
a 31-12 victory for the visiting
Lumberjacks
The aria gives the Lumberjacks a
$-2 record overall and a 2-0 mark
in the district standings. The loss
dropped the Bulldogs record to 2-3
overall and 0-2 in district
la the six games prior to Friday's
matchup. Diboll's ace running back
Archie Jackson, a 170-lb senior,
had already rushed for 1,019 yards
and 10 touchdowns. Jackson in-
creased lus total by rushing for 179
yards and one touchdown against
the Bulldogs.
Despite DtboU’s two lop-sided
losses to Newton and Abo this
year, Jackson has been able to rush
for more than 100 yards m seven
consecutives games.
“He was as good as advertised,
there's no question about that''
stated Comgan Head Coach Todd
York He "had over 1.000 yards
before he ever got here and we
definately contributed to his stats.
He was real good.
“I knew cm film he was a hard
nosed, tough kid, but 1 thought he
made a lot of his yards on heart and
being tough. He demonstrated
tremendous skill that I couldn't see
on film that I could see in real life.
He had great vision and elusive-
ness. Their line also did a good job
up front that helped him out a tot’’
The 'Dogs counterattacked with
an equally lough performance by
running back Domonk Benjamin.
Dornomc finished with 1S6 yards
and one touchdown on 23 carries.
Benjamin also caught a 48 yard
touchdown strike from quarterback
Richard Rowe.
"Sometimes with Domonic,
when things go the wont, Domonic
gets » his best," said Coach York.
"He challenges himself. When
dungs get really bad x motivaies
Domonic and I thank the good Lord
far that"
Benjamin has rushed far 681
yards an 136 carries and scared
four rushing TD’s for the *Dofl
got banged up real early.” added
York.
The Diboll assault came « die
opeamg crack of the second quarter
(11:32) and dieliing didat’ skip un-
til 1:37 remained before halftime.
The ’Dogs were stuck with poor
field position which in return gave
(be ’lacks excellent opportunities.
Two Diboll scoring drives started
at the Corrigan 46 and one
originated at the Diboll 42. The
’Jacks also pinned a safety on Cor-
rigan when a drive started at the
Corrigan 10 yard line Later, the
’Jacks blocked a Comgan punt at
the seven yard line nd recovered
die bail in the end zone Cor a touch-
down
Coach York commended his
seniors for team leadership Pnday
night They're small ia mu ‘
(seven) but large on heart
”1 thought our
kept their poise and came back in
the second half and played hard.
We’ve really been after them about
senior leadership and tonight I
thought they finally came through.
“I’m sure Diboll let down at
halftime, being human, but still, our
kids came back out fighting. 1 told
them at halftime that the last time
we were in this bad of shape was
over in Grovtton and that baby
ended up 58-6, so show me that «
least we’ve learned something in
these last six weeks and I think
they did.”
Early lead
The game started out with a lot
of j onise. Defensively, the ’Dogs
looked tough on the opening drive.
The Lumberjacks marched from
then own 19 yard line id the Cor-
rigan 33 with Jackson carrying the
ball six times. However, on the
seventh play of the drive and
another carry by Jackson, the 'Dogs
stacked him up for no gain and the
'Dogs took over.
Corrigan had the ball for eight
plays but was forced to punt from
their own 41 yard line. DiboU’s
next senes lasted only four plays.
Lumberjack quarterback Jesse Wal-
lace pitched the ball back to Jack-
son but was off the mark and
Jonathan Jolley was able to come
up with a fumble recovery at the
Diboll 48 yard line.
Quarterback Richard Rowe, who
finished 3-of-U for 91 yards,
needed just one play to connect
over the middle to Domonic Ben-
jamin who hauled in the touchdown
pass with 2:23 left in the opening
quarter. Rowe attempted to run for
the 2-point conversion but was just
inches short of the goal line. The
Dogs settled foi a 6-0 lead.
Diboll started their fast touch-
down dnve with 2:05 left in the
first and scored on the first play of
the second quarter on a 34-yard
touchdown nut by Corey Horace.
Jackson carried for the 2-point con-
version to give the Jacks an 8-6
Benjamin's backfleld teammate,
Raw Garrett, who leads the 'Dogs
wife 706 yards ndMac, was added
re die growing list of iq joriea far
Comgan. Garrett went out with a
rib Kjury early in the fine quarter.
Garrett not only contributes af-
fcarivdy. but plays a major role on
defease which didn't help the
Dogs chances with hm out ”1
thought two dungs hurt as,” said
Y«k. “I thought we deflated men-
tally a hole bit when Ray came off
That bun us psychologically and
then it was very poor execution
towards the end. They farced us in-
to some errors which you have to
give them credit for.

lead with 11:52 left on the clock.
The Bulldogs received the Diboll
kickoft and was stuflcd at the 10
yard line. On the third play of the
drive from the five, QB Rowe was
flagged with intentional grounding.
He was in the end zone at the time
which resulted in a safety and a 10
6 lead for Diboll.
The Dogs had to kick from their
own 20 yard line following the
safety. An 11-yard return by Mike
Suarez gave the 'Jacks excellent
field position at the Corrigan 46.
They needed just four plays to
score. The big play was a 39-yard
pass from QB Wallace to Joe Gar-
cia that pushed the ball down to the
Comgan seven yard line. Donovan
Shepherd scored three plays later
from the five. Jackson ran for the 2-
point conversion to lift the 'Jacks to
an 18-6 lead with 8:44 left in the
second.
Corrigan's next series started at
their own 22, but solid defense, a
penalty and a nine yard quarterback
sack on Rowe forced the 'Dogs to
punt from their seven yard line.
The punt attempt by Keith Shirley
was blocked and Tyrone Taylor
recovered in the end zone for a
Lumberjack touchdown. Jeiry
Cobb booted the point after to give
the ’Jacks a 24-6 lead with 6:01
remaining in die second.
The Bulldogs had a touchdown
called back on the next series of
downs. They had moved the ball
from their own 35 to the Diboll 37
where they faced fourth down and
seven. Keith Shirley was in punting
formation, but faked and passed to
Derrick Gray who made the catch
and ran it in for the score. An in-
eligible receiver downficld against
Comgan nullified the play. The
'Dogs tried again on fourth and 12
and threw an incomplete pass.
The 'Jacks took over at their own
42 yard line. On second and 10,
Jackson broke loose and scored on
a 58 yard romp behind a couple of
good Diboll blocks. The point after
by Jerry Cobb extended the Lum-
berjack lead to 31-6 with 1:37 left
before halftime.
Last score
Corrigan netted the final score of
the game with 4:13 left in the third
quarter of play. Following a Lum-
berjack punt, the 'Dogs started the
drive at their own 31. Two key
plays to extend the drive was a 12
yard run by Benjamin and a 16
yard pass from Rowe to Keith Shir-
ley. Benjamin scored on a 37 yard
run on the seventh play of the
drive. A 2-point pass attempt failed
which tallied the score at 31-12.
Ricky Atce recovered a Diboll
fumble with 2:26 left in the third
but the 'Dogs were unable to con-
vert the miscue.
Defensively, the 'Dogs held the
'Jacks on a goal line stand at the
four yard line with 4:48 left in the
game. The 'Dogs took over and ran
10 plays but advanced the ball only
to the 22. They punted the ball on
fourth and 15.
The 'Jacks took ova- and ran out
the clock, departing Bulldog
Stadium with a 31-12 victory.
