PIKEVILLE, Tenn. – Bledsoe County opened its football season clicking on all cylinders in a rout of 2018 Class 1A state champion Whitwell.
The 2A Warriors forced four turnovers and the play of sophomore quarterback Harmon Keith was spot-on in Saturday’s 41-13 victory over a winded foe.
Keith put the ball right on the money for a 22-yard touchdown strike to the front right pylon to Colby Rogers to answer a quick score from the Tigers to begin the second half.
Rogers soon afterward intercepted a pass, and the defense recovered a fumble and also registered a safety thanks to the closing speed of defensive back Tyrell Richardson to build a 21-point lead with a minute left in the third quarter.
Keith finished 8-of-11 passing for 155 yards and rushed for a pair of scores along with Cadillac Siever.
