October 6, 2015 - Photos by Shelby County Today - The Joaquin Rams never let the Timpson Bears into last Friday's JHS Homecoming game and ultimately came away with a convincing 40-14 win. Joaquin used 488 yards of offense, and used a 5-yard score by Kase Yates and a 51-yarder by Nate Belrose to take a 22-0 lead by the conclusion of the first period of play.
Joaquin went up 34-0 with a 9-yard Yates touchdown with 3:39 remaining in the third quarter. Chris Piro got THS on the board with 50-yard reception from Chandler Burgay that went the distance with 2:46 left in the third stanza. The 2-point conversion attempt was intercepted and returned the distance by Ram Cole Powdrill but a block in the back penalty negated the would-be 2 points for JHS.
Peyton Martinez added a 52-yard score for Joaquin with less than two minutes left in the third frame which gave JHS a 40-6 lead.
The final score of the game came on a 3-yard touchdown by Hayden Smith with 8:02 left in the game. Burgay hit Hunter Smith for a 2-point conversion.
Timpson will host the Mount Enterprise Wildcats next Friday, October 9, for the Bear's homecoming game at 7:30 p.m.
Joaquin will see the Shelbyville Dragons come to Rams field Friday, for both team's first district game of the season. The game will kick off at 7:30 p.m.
