St. Vincent turns back Crystal City

This much the St. Vincent Indians and the Crystal City Hornets agreed on: Friday's MAFC Blue Division was not one for the scrapbook.

"It was ugly," St. Vincent Coach Keith Winkler said after his team's 21-0 victory. "We just kept shooting ourselves in the foot."

Crystal City (4-2, 1-2 MAFC) outdid St. Vincent in that department. St. Vincent (4-2, 3-0 MAFC) picked off three passes and recovered a pair of fumbles.

St. Vincent led 7-0 at halftime on a 2-yard touchdown run by Dustin Winkler. The Indians added a 12-yard TD run by Tim Guilliams midway through the third quarter and closed the scoring with a 1-yard run by Waylon Richardet.

Fredericktown 20, Scott City 16

Scott City scored a late touchdown but could not complete the comeback at home.

Ethan Watkins hit Jamie Pinkston for a 10-yard score with about 13 seconds remaining, and the two-point conversion put the Rams (2-4) down four. Fredericktown (2-4) recovered the kick to clinch the victory. Scott City was plagued on its final drive by two penalties after reaching the 1-yard line with a little more than a minute remaining.

Scott City scored first with a first-quarter touchdown run by Chris Blankenship. Fredericktown tied the score, then took the lead with a touchdown with seconds remaining in the first half.

Unofficially, Watkins threw for 113 yards on five of 13 passing. Cody Carlyle led the Rams in rushing with 76 yards, while Blankenship added 61 yards.
