Battle Ground Academy
BGA ‘skunks’ Marshall County 35-0: Coach Marty Euverard and the BGA coaching staff were concerned about a let down when BGA traveled to Marshall County Friday night. BGA was coming off a historical win in the Clinic Bowl against its neighbor Franklin and the coaches did not know how the young team would react. It did not take long to find out as the Wildcats came out smoking with three quick scores to open the game. Scotty Fleming, younger brother to former Vol and Titan Troy Fleming, got things started with a long return on the opening kick. A few plays later and sophomore running back Keenan Bass was in the end zone. The Smith brothers, Jordan and Josh, scored on long passes from CJ Beathard the next two possessions. As in the Franklin game, the BGA defense was dominant with junior linebacker Reed Loeffel leading the team in tackles and a fumble recovery.
