Fayetteville
Woodland 14, Bentonville Gold 7
THE
GAME: Woodland (5-0) used a stifling defense and strong performance by
quarterback Taylor Powell to edge Bentonville Gold (4-1) in a battle of
unbeaten teams.
Powell
got the Cowboys on the board first with a 4-yard touchdown run in the first
quarter, and then threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Akial Byers in the second
quarter.
“Taylor
Powell is a good quarterback,” Woodland coach Bobby Crockett said. “I’ve kind
of kept the reigns pulled back on him this year, but we let him show what he
could do tonight.”
He
finished with 81 yards on 8 for 13 passing and 14 yards on two carries.
Woodland’s
defense held Gold’s star running back Destyn Adkins to only 38 yards on nine
carries as the Tigers gained just 101 offensive yards.
Adkins
added a late touchdown for Gold on a 10-yard run in the fourth quarter.
Bentonville
Washington beat Woodland 13-0 in the eighth-grade game.
UP
NEXT: Bentonville Gold travels to Springdale Lakeside next week, while Woodland
returns home to face Rogers Heritage.
