Tigers topple Temple
Tipton's No. 9 ranked Tigers roared on
Friday as they routed Class C No. 10 ranked Temple, 48-16.
The Tigers were in control the entire
game as they rushed to an early first quarter lead.
Quarterback Justin White started the scoring with a 1-yard touchdown run.
Robert Jasper added the two-point conversion and the Tigers led, 8-0.
Jasper added two more touchdowns, on a 3-yard run and a 55-yard punt
return, and another two-point conversion as the Tigers took a 22-0 lead after
the first period.
A 37-yard Rafael Simmons run got Temple on the board in the
second, but Tipton answered with three more touchdowns to close the half.
White threw two touchdown passes, a 10-yarder to Anthony Hill and a
42-yarder to Nathan Soliz, and Shaun Hill knocked his way into the endzone from
1-yard out to give the Tigers a 42-8 halftime lead.
Jacob Cope tacked on Tipton's final score in the third, and a
68-yard Simmons run closed out the scoring Temple.
"I thought we played pretty well for the first
game." Tipton coach Jim Kerbo
said, "I thought we executed real good on offense and overall I thought we
played pretty well on defense. We
had a couple of defensive breakdowns here and there that we need to iron out and
get better at, but overall I thought we play real well. I though special teams did a great job last night, and, you
know, for the first ballgame I couldn't ask for any more out of my kids
We got everybody into the ballgame, we worked hard, we played hard, and
everything came out alright. We had
a couple of busts defensively that we need to get fixed, and I think it's minor
adjustments, but I think if we do that then we'll be an awful tough football
team."
Tipton hosts Central Marlow on Friday for the first of two
meetings between the District B-1 foes. The
two kickoff for a non-district game at 7:30 p.m.
