TheTandD.com | Bamberg-Ehrhardt beats the Cougars
For the first time this year, Red Raiders running back Daquan Bowers was held under 100-yards rushing, finishing with 14 carries for 49 yards and a touchdown. Anquan Thomas led the Bamberg rushing attack with 57 yards on 10 carries while quarterback Chris Presley added 51 yards on 12 carries including two touchdowns.
"I thought that it was one of the more balanced and better games that we have played," Bamberg-Ehrhardt football coach Ron Duncan said. "I was very pleased with the effort and the way we played. Once we got up 20 to nothing I just wanted to run the ball and eat the clock and that is what we did."
The Red Raiders struck first on the opening drive when Presley powered his way to a 2-yard touchdown with 5:11 to go in the first quarter, capping a 13-play 80-yard drive that took 6:49 off the clock. Dylan Searson would miss the extra point but Bamberg led 6-0.
With 5:48 to go in the first half Bowers scored on a 3-yard touchdown run and then added a two- point conversion with 5:48 to go in the second quarter, and Bamberg carried a 14-0 lead into the half.
