Highlanders overcome early deficit to defeat Carroll County 44-19
“Our kids gave great effort. Getting down exposes your character.” – Glenvar head coach Kevin Clifford
Highlander Stadium Roanoke County, VA – The Carroll County Cavaliers had a game plan to address Glenvar’s great offense – keep the ball away from them. And for a quarter it worked.
Cavs won the toss, took the ball and marched downfield, scoring on RB 2 Jaydon Brown’s 2-yard run. Carroll County led 6-0 after Glenvar blocked the PAT. The visitors followed that up with a successful onside kick, and tacked on another Brown TD. The two point try failed. Carroll led 12-0.
The Cavs went to the well again and it paid off with another successful onside kick. This time the Highlander defense had seen enough, and stopped the “Straight T” Cavalier offense. Glenvar’s offense never saw the ball the entire first quarter. Glenvar head coach Kevin Clifford gave his kids credit though, “Our kids gave great effort. Getting down exposes your character.”
Glenvar QB/DE 15 Brody Dawyot (12/16,269, 5TDs pass; 3/47,TD rush) wasted no time once he did get the ball. TD passes to WR/DB 1 Cooper Mullins (7/238,3TDs rec) and WR/DB 7 Trey Dawyot, plus a 15-yard QB keeper for Glenvar’s third score of the 2nd quarter made it 21-12 Highlanders at half.
Mullins snagged two more Dawyot passes for touchdowns and the defense produced a safety in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. Carroll County QB/DB 11 Isaiah Easter scored from two yards out and Glenvar’s Trey Dawyot caught a final TD pass to finish the scoring. Glenvar remains unbeaten at 6-0, while Carroll County drops to 4-2 on the year. – Crunch Staff
