Signal Mountain senior quarterback Drew Lowry has the “Sunshine” look from “Remember the Titans.”
Tall, lanky, hair flowing out of his helmet and confident. He didn’t start the season at quarterback, just like in the movie, but he’s the leader now, and he showed it Friday night.
Lowry ran for 145 yards and two touchdowns, threw for another score and led Signal Mountain to its third straight victory as the Eagles beat Brainerd 28-7 in a Region 3-3A game. For Lowry and the Eagles, the hunt for a home playoff game is on.
“I just want the ball in my hands so I have a chance to make a play,” said Lowry, who moved to QB at halftime of Signal Mountain’s game at Red Bank four weeks ago. “I love to run, and I love to get into the end zone.”
Signal Mountain (3-4, 2-1) controlled the game from beginning to end. Brainerd (3-4, 2-1) went to deep throws in the second half and managed a score, but the Eagles never were threatened.
