Friday saw a rescheduled non-district varsity football game between No. 3 Class 2A Timpson Bears and the No. 4 Class 3A Waskom Wildcats at Timpson’s John Herbert Eakin Stadium.

This game was hard-fought and close in the early stages but the Bears took over in the second half to defeat the Wildcats by a 49-28 score.

Timpson originally was slated to take on the Alto Yellowjackets. The Wildcats were set to play Brookshire Royal on Saturday. However, the COVID-19 pandemic changed plans leading to the scheduling changes.

Waskom went up by a 7-0 score on a 35-yard quarterback keeper run by sophomore quarterback Cole Watson with 8:24 left in the first quarter, and Ezequiel Ruiz added an extra point kick.

A 21-yard run by Braden Courtney gave the Bears good field position. Moments later Terry Bussey completed a 36-yard touchdown pass to Vosky Howard with 7:49 still left in the first period. An extra point from Logan Depaepe tied the game at 7-7.

Waskom bounced back with a 71-yard drive of their own capped off by a five-yard score by Watson on another keeper. An extra point gave the Wildcats a 14-7 lead with 5:13 remaining in the opening stanza.

 In the second quarter, Bussey connected with Howard again for another touchdown, this time from 50 yards out, to tie the game at 14-14 with 6:50 left in the first half.

Moments after Waskom answered with an ensuing kickoff run for a 73-yard touchdown return by senior Zay Thomas which gave Waskom a 21-14 lead with 6:34 remaining in the second quarter.

In the final second of the first half, Bussey scored on a keeper and capped off a 14-play, 50-yard drive to pull the Bears to within one point of the Wildcats. A missed extra point sent the teams into the locker room with Waskom ahead leading 21-20.

Bear runningback Braden Courtney fumbled the second half kickoff and Waskom wasted no time scoring. Carson Gonzalez pulled down a pass from Watson for a 48-yard touchdown pass to increase the Wildcats lead to 28-20 with 11:40 still left in the third frame.

Courtney bounced back by taking a screen pass for an 18-yard touchdown with 7:59 left in the third quarter. A missed two-point conversion attempt kept Waskom’s lead at 28-26.

The Bears defense held for the remainder of the second half while they scored 23 unanswered points. Bussey scored twice on two quarterback scrambles and Courtney went in from 1-yard out with 6:18 left in the contest.Timpson now stands at 2-0 this season.
