Another classic region battle between Blackman and Oakland. NewsRadio WGNS' Bryan Barrett has more from Ray Hughes Stadium...
VERBATIM:
If you like defensive games, you would have loved the battle between the Patriots and Blaze. With Blackman driving, down 14-7 and 1:08 to go, facing third and 10 from the Oakland 30-yard line, this happened...
JaCoby Stevens not only had that pick six, but had another interception...two of three for Blaze quarterback Miller Armstrong on the night. Stevens also scored a 35-yard touchdown on a run from the wildcat formation.
Blackman's lone score was on a muffed punt recovered in the endzone by Donnel Bailey in the first quarter. It was 7-to-7 at the half and Oakland's Dexter Hurd scored on a one yard plunge in the first two minutes of the third quarter to go up by a touchdown.
Oakland improves to 3-and-1 and 2-and-0 in region play. Blackman falls to 3-and-2 and are now 1-and-1 in region play.
Next week, the broadcast crew will be at Smyrna for the Bulldogs' battle with Siegel.
