The 2019 Roane County Football Jamboree is now in the books, played Friday night at Roane County High School’s Dr. Nat Sugarman Memorial Field in Kingston.

White Co. vs. Rockwood

The third quarter was one of the highest scoring of the evening with White County holding on to edge the Rockwood Tigers, 10-6.

The Tiger defense forced a quick punt from the Warriors to start the frame.

Taking over on the White County 44-yard line, Octavious Worthy got Rockwood’s offense moving with a short gain.

The Warriors were ready for the snap on the next play.

Sophomore Jaiden Hannibal got the handoff from senior quarterback Nate Brackett and raced around the jumbled mass of players in the center of the field.

Hannibal scampered down field and was finally ran out of bounds at the three-yard line 41 yards later.

Freshman Dakota Waldo got the call on the next play and plowed into the middle of the line for a two-yard gain.

One more time was the charm as Waldo fell forward for the one-yard touchdown. After the missed extra point, Rockwood was up 6-0.

The Warriors took control on their 30-yard line and mounted what was the longest drive of the evening.

With the seconds steadily ticking down, White County used short passing mixed with a few runs to cap a 14-play drive with a 20-yard field goal to make the score 6-3.

The success the Tigers had enjoyed earlier in the third had disappeared late in the stanza.

A 13-yard pass from the 45 followed by an incompletion set up a 26-yard pass to a Warrior receiver behind the Tiger defense for a touchdown to make it 10-6.
