RAMS ROLL BY WINLESS TIGERS 37-7

CARUTHERSVILLE -- Given Scott City's No. 7 ranking in Class 2A and Caruthersville's winless record, the Rams should have rolled to victory in Saturday afternoon's game. And the Rams did.

Scott City is now 5-1 after its 37-7 win. Caruthersville dropped to 0-5.

Caruthersville made the score 13-7 early in the second quarter on Brandon Irons' 1-yard run, but Scott City scored the next 20 points.

The Rams led 13-0 after one quarter on quarterback Lance Amick's 1-yard run and his 4-yard pass to Jason Bickings.

In the second quarter, Amick found Brandon Amick for a 40-yard touchdown pass after warding off three onrushing Caruthersville defenders. The Rams led 20-7 at the half.

"Lance Amick had a real good game," said Scott City coach Terry Flannigan.

Scott City scored 17 points in the third quarter. Lucas Ward kicked a 42-yard field goal, Terry Enderle had a 7-yard scoring run and Matt Underwood added a 1-yard scoring burst.

"Caruthersville was very physical," Flannigan said. "They didn't lay down and they took it to us."
