September 28, 2026 (Photo Album) - The Joaquin Rams varsity football team redeemed themselves with a 42-34 point win over the Mansfield Wolverines on Thursday, September 24th. Joaquin is heading into District play 4-1.

Joaquin started the first drive of the game at their own 41-yard line. At 4th and 6, Cooper Bragg faked a punt for an 18-yard gain and 1st down. Mansfield made the Ram’s run game difficult, so Quarterback Trenton Runnels had to find Bragg for a 10-yard pass and later a 28-yard passing touchdown. In Ram style, they went for the two-point conversion, putting them on the scoreboard first after 5 minutes of play time; 8-0. In the Wolverine’s opening drive, offense started at their 39-yard line where they had better luck running down the field than the Rams did. Mansfield’s Jaterrious Howard made headway with a 16-yard running gain and Jaydan Hamilton with a 19-yard rushing touchdown. WIth a minute left in the first quarter, Mansfield tied the game up 8-8. 

At 3rd and long at the 42-yard line on the next drive, Runnels handed the ball off to Cooper Bragg who found holes in the Mansfield defensive line for a 29 yard carry, putting the Rams at the 13-yard line. The Rams had a 5-yard penalty pushing them back to the 18-yard line on 3rd down, but Runnels managed to find Bragg for a touchdown pass; Cooper Bragg flipped into the endzone for the two-point conversion. Rams led 16-8 with 8:40 left in the first half. Mansfield wasted no time tying up the game; with 2 plays, a 56-yard rushing touchdown by Hamilton and a two-point conversion, the game now 16-16 at the 8:20 minute mark. On their next drive, Joaquin offense inched the ball down the field with the help of Runnels, Bragg and Amarion Wilson. At 4th & 5 and 36 seconds remaining in the half, Runnels finds Bragg in the corner for a Rams touchdown! The two-point conversion was no good, providing the Rams with a 6 point edge heading into the second half.

Mansfield started the second half with the ball, but Joaquin’s Hunter Kay jumped on a fumble at Mansfield’s 44-yard line. Runnels tossed the ball back to Bragg for a 40-yard rushing touchdown. Only taking a minute off of the clock, Joaquin led 28-16 after Dagan Lee failed to get the 2-point conversion. Mansfield answered back on their next drive with a 16-yard pass play from JJ Howard to Zayvon Sanders, putting them in the red zone. Defensive lineman Runnels and Lee had a great QB sack to keep the Wolverines from advancing, but Howard did not let Joaquin’s defensive line strike again. The senior quarterback pushed his way into the end zone; Wolverines trailed 22-28. 

With 8:35 left to play in the third quarter, Cooper Bragg added another kickoff return touchdown to his statistics. The 65-yard run gave the Rams a 34-22 lead. As the chess match continued, Mansfield’s Sanders made their way back into the endzone, shortening the spread by 6 with 5:00 left in the 3rd. On the Ram’s following drive, offense was 3rd & 3 at midfield, where Cooper Bragg gave Joaquin another chance with a 12-yard rushing gain for the 1st down. The same situation happened again when the Rams were at Mansfield’s 33-yard line. Now at the 12-yard line, the Rams ended the third quarter at 3rd & 6 to go. The Wolverines made the Rams offense fight for every yard, but the home team prevailed as Trent Runnels pushed his way into the end zone. The Rams led 42-28 and 9:22 left in the game.

Starting their final drive of the night, Mansfield started at the 50-yard line. The Rams' defense made it just as difficult for their opponents to move down the field as they did. At 4th down, the Wolverines went for it at the 22-yard line and the risk paid off with a 16-yard pass to Hamilton. QB Howard took the ball in for a touchdown, making it a 6-point ball game and 4:34 minutes remaining. Neither team managed to score the rest of the game, giving the Rams a 42-34 victory over the Mansfield Wolverines.

The Rams will enjoy a bye week for the Poultry Festival before making the trip to Shelbyville to play the Dragons on Thursday, October 8th for a 7:30pm kickoff.

Tenaha scored first with a 2-yard rush by Quentin Goodson within the first 5 minutes of play time. Union Grove came back and made a 13-yard touchdown from Hudson Wightman, with a failed extra point field goal attempt; Tigers led by 1. With 3:32 left to play in the second quarter, QB Clayton Creech hit Jacobe Calloway for an 82-yard touchdown pass giving the Tigers a 14-6 lead halfway through the second quarter.

Union Grove recovered a fumble at the 35-yard line. The Lions pushed the ball down the field for a touchdown with 34 seconds to spare in the half; Tigers led 14-12 after Ciro Sandoval stopped the two-point conversion at the one-inch line. Even with several good passes and a 17-yard rushing gain from Clayton Creech, Tenaha was not able to make one more touchdown before the end of the half.

After an onside kick, Union Grove starts the second half of the game at the Tenaha 40-yard line. A 24-yard pickup for Wightman and a 4th down conversion helped Union Grove score another touchdown plus a two-point conversion, giving them their first lead of the game, 20-14 with 7:49 of play in the third quarter. The Tigers took over at their 43-yard line on their first drive in the second half. Jacobe Calloway had a nice 20-yard pick up to put the Tigers at the 40-yard line but a pass intended for Creech was intercepted by Union Grove. Wightman, on the pick, went in for the 85-yard interception return. Union Grove went up 26-14 with 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. The Tigers roared back by making their way down the field and Bubba Norris on a 7-yard carry for the touchdown; with 1:29 left in the 3rd quarter, Tenaha trailed 26-21.

There was a 15-yard penalty against the Lions, so Sandoval punted for the Tigers at their own 45-yard line. The ball bounced out of the hands of a Union Grove receiver and into the hands of Sandoval; Tenaha was 1st and 10 at the 43-yard line. Bubba Norris put the Tigers back on top with a 43-yard touchdown run. The Tigers retook the lead 28-26 at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Union Grove started the 4th quarter with a 58-yard touchdown run by Wightman to put the Lions back on top 32-28 after another failed two-point conversion; 11:46 left in the game. Tenaha’s Calloway received the punt at the 20-yard line for a 76-yard return. With a 4-yard touchdown run, Clayton Creech put the Tigers back up 35-32 with a 10:58 remaining. Starting their next drive mid-field, Union Grove had a 29-yard gain by DJ Edwards, putting them at the 16-yard line. Wightman had no trouble finding the end zone for another touchdown. The two-point conversion gave the Lions a 40-35 lead.

Back-to-back holding penalties against Tenaha slowed them down from scoring again, but the Tiger defensive live held off Union Grove. The 40-35 win against Tenaha puts Union Grove 4-0 this season.

The Tigers will host the Cross Roads Bobcats on Friday on September 25th for the first district game.

September 21, 2026 (Photo Album) - The Timpson Bears varsity football team earned their first loss of the season to the visiting Westwood Palestine Panthers by a 70-35 score on Thursday. The game puts the Bears 3-1 with one game remaining before district play begins.

Timpson earned a turnover on the starting punt, putting their offensive line at Westwood’s 32-yard line. On third down and 2, Albert Parker Jr. was able to break through the defensive line for a first down and goal. An offsides penalty pushed the Bears down to third and goal at the 6-yard line. C'Najai Henderson rushed the ball in to put the Bears on top 6-0 after a failed extra point kick.

After 4 minutes of play, the Westwood Panthers get their first drive. QB Kavian Bryant broke through the Bear’s defensive line for a 32-yard gain, putting them in Bear territory. Bryant had no difficulty finding his brother, Kaden Bryantm for a 31-yard touchdown pass. The Bears managed to block the extra-point attempt, tying the game 6-6 with under 7 minutes remaining in the first quarter. The Bears quickly made it back down the field after rushing gains from Alex Castillo and Jamichael Page. Another offsides penalty against them pushed them back for a first and fifteen, but that did not stop Henderson from rushing for a Timpson Touchdown, now giving the Bears a 13-6 lead.

It was a slow start in the 2nd quarter for both teams, but the action picked up when Luke Fields broke through the defensive line for a 36-yard rushing touchdown; Bears ahead 20-6 with less than 5 minutes left in the first half. Palestine Westwood retaliated by making serious rushing gains as the first half clock dwindled. Major gaps in Timpson’s defensive line allowed Kavian Bryant to run down the field in 5 plays before passing 25-yards to Kaden Bryant for the Panther’s second touchdown of the game. The Bears did not find an opportunity to score on the next drive, but starting at their own 15-yard line, the Panthers hit an 82-yard pass play for a touchdown, closing the gap 20-13.

Catching the punt at the 17-yard line, Timpson’s Albert Parker ran down the field for an 83-yard touchdown. Timpson led 27-19 with 1:35 left in the half. The Panthers still found time to rush down the field for one last touchdown and two-point conversion to tie the game 27-27 at the half.

On their first drive of the 2nd half, the Panthers’ Brown broke through Timpson’s defense for a 60-yard carry. The Panthers scored and made a two-point conversion, taking the lead 35-27 after 4 minutes of play. Once again, Westwood Palestine broke through Timpson’s D-Line to make it down the field for another touchdown, increasing their lead to 41-27 halfway through the 3rd quarter. On their next drive, Timpson could not take advantage of the 3 penalties against the Panthers on their punts, giving them great field position at Westwood’s 38-yard line. After a turnover, Westwood started at their own 41-yard line and the Bryant brothers teamed up again for another touchdown. The two-point conversion was no good; Westwood expanded their lead 42-27 with 3 minutes left in the quarter.

Westwood Palestine recovered the punt at Timpson’s 45-yard line, which led to a 45-yard touchdown run after Brown broke through 10 defensive linemen. This time, the two-point conversion was successful, Westwood leading 55-27 after 30 seconds of play. On the opening drive of the fourth quarter, Timpson’s Alex Castillo caught a 13-yard pass for a touchdown; the two-point conversion was good, for a 55-35 score. Timpson only allowed two more touchdowns and was unable to score another touchdown themselves. The final score was 70-35.

The Bears will host the Arp Tigers next Friday, September 25, 2026, for a 7:30pm kickoff. The Tigers are 4-0 after defeating Shelbyville last week.
