One week ago, our Holy Innocents' football team did taketh against a mighty Blessed Trinity squad. This Friday night, our Bears were on the giveth end as they easily rolled past the Morrow Mustangs 46-0 down in Ellenwood to kick off Labor Day weekend.
 
The damage was done in the first two quarters where the Bears put up 43 while giving up only one first down. It was 22-0 after one; Denim Stevens closed out our opening 13 play, 80-yard drive with a three yard touchdown run. 
 
After a Mustang three-and-out, the Bears drove it 49 yards, this time ending with a Ryan Woods to Sam Chasteen nine yard scoring strike. Chasteen ran it in for the 2-point conversion to make it 15-0.
 
The Bears next possession needed only one play to find the end zone, as Stevens raced 52 yards for the score to end the first stanza scoring.
 
The Bears got a short field on their first possession of the second quarter thanks to a great Brayden Bailey punt return; Woods finished things off with a 15-yard plunge. When HI got it back, Woods then hit Hunter Laughlin for a 31-yard TD.
 
Preston Massie then came up big for the defense, recovering a fumble on their 13, where Woods made them pay with a 13-yard strike to Bailey to end the first half scoring at 43-0.
 
The second half was running clock; HI got a Bainbridge 33-yard field goal inside of two minutes to end the scoring. Sam Wimberly had a third quarter interception, and Colin Horne and running back Bennett Burroughs looked good keeping the offense moving and winding the clock.
 
A look at the defensive stars was a who's who of the roster. Jordan Mays, Miller Wimberly, Massie, Lucas Tiliakos, Finn Ferrero, Bailey, and Nate Newsome were just some of the stars. 
 
Looking ahead, it will be Thursday Night Football at Riverwood at 7:30, when our 2-1 Bears take on Allatoona.
