Rams make it two straight victories

Scott City decked Brentwood 38-7 on Friday night for its second straight victory.

The Rams (3-3) built a 19-0 halftime lead on the strength of two second-quarter passing plays for touchdowns.

Quarterback Ethan Watkins and receiver Jamie Pinkston hooked on scoring strikes of 10 and 32 yards in the second period.

Those scores followed Cody Carlyle's 1-yard run in the first period.

Rynn Eskew scored two touchdowns in the fourth period for Scott City. His 75-yard interception return made the score 32-0 and his 1-yard run closed out the Rams' scoring.

Scott City also scored a touchdown in the third period on John Pinkston's 15-yard return of a fumble recovery.

East Prairie 30, Chaffee 26

Chaffee's comeback attempt fell short in a home loss to East Prairie. The Eagles (2-3) spoiled Chaffee's homecoming with big plays, scoring on three plays of 40 yards or longer.

Chaffee (2-4), with big scoring plays of its own, scored on touchdown runs of 3 yards from Steven Atkinson, 13 yards from Andrew Hendrix, 75 yards from Kent Courtney and an 18-yard halfback pass from Courtney to Trenton Horman.

Two crucial lost fumbles in their own territory hurt the Red Devils' cause.

Crystal City 34, St. Vincent 3

St. Vincent scored first on Lucas Robinson's 30-yard field goal, but state-ranked Class 2 Crystal City put up 21 points in the second period en route to the win in Perryville.

Cody DeRousse had two touchdown runs in the second period and finished with 135 yards on 18 carries.

Demetrius Terry added two TD runs in the fourth period and finished with 140 yards on 15 carries, as the Hornets improved to 5-1 overall and 2-0 in the MAFC Blue.

Robinson has four field goals -- two of more than 40 yards -- this season for St. Vincent (2-2, 2-4).
