Sports & Education Gibson County Pioneers rev up for football season BY LORI CATHEY Gibson County kicked off their football season opener drawing a big crowd at Yates field Friday night. Before Gibson County’s home game, a group of over 100 Pioneers’ supporters got together in the parking lot for some tailgating. They had plenty of food and school spirit to show their support for the Pioneer football team. Gibson County’s first year head coach Morgan Crews has installed a new offense that shows plenty of promise. The Pioneers offense had a total of 340 yards during Friday night’s game. The first quarter was full of opening game jitters with neither team scoring. With 4:15 remaining in the second quarter, Senior Drew Scobey intercepted a pass on the 31 yard line, but
Gibson County was forced to punt three plays later. Halls took a 13-0 lead into the locker room at halftime. Coming out after halftime, Halls, with a long run, scored a touchdown and extending the lead to 20-0. Gibson County, on their next possession, went 64 yards in 10 plays and cut into Halls’ lead with a 7yard run by Danny Evans for a touchdown, bringing it to 20-6 with 8:12 left in the third quarter. Quarterback Markee Brown and running back Justice Conley both had big carries for first downs to set up the touchdown. The Gibson County defense forced Halls to turnover the ball on downs at the 37-yard line with 12:28 left in the fourth quarter. Four plays later, with an 11-yard touchdown run by running back Justice
Conley, gave GC their final score for the game. Halls defeated Gibson County 28-12. Statistically, GC recorded 43 yards passing and 297 yards rushing. GC’s quarterback Markee Brown rushed 19 times for 148 yards. Running back Justice Conley had 26 rushes for 136 yards with a touch down and Danny Evans with 3 rushes for 13 yards scoring a touchdown. Drew Scobey had one reception for 43 yards from QB Brown. Leading the defense was Markee Brown with 8 tackles. Kendall Guyton had 7 tackles and one for a loss and Drew Scobey had 4 tackles,1 interception and had 6 punts for 196 yards, average of 33 yards per punt. The Pioneers next game will be at 7:30 August the 24th at Dresden.
