Hebron Christian Lions tame the Terrell Panthers 48-0


 

The Terrell Panthers, led by Head Coach Broderick Jamison, opened their season against the Hebron Christian Lions on Friday afternoon. This was my first time seeing either team, so I paid a lot of attention to the teams as they entered the field and as they went through pregame warmups. What stuck out the most was how flat the Panthers looked, almost as if they knew this game was not going to be very competitive. The Lions, on the other hand, looked ready to hit.

Nick Wade got to Beau Morgan with 8:15 left in the first for a 3-yard loss. With the game still scoreless, Thomas Stallworth had a bad snap go over his head, and racing back to make the recovery for the Panthers was #33. Deandre Bell, with 5:37 still left in the first. The Panthers would give the ball right back to the Lions when Ahmad Bridges coughed the ball up and Max Steve pounced on it at the Panthers 11-yard line.

Devon Caldwell would take the ball for the 11 yards needed for the game's first score. After Cam Eblen nailed his kick, we had a 7-0 game with 4:56 left in the quarter.

Carmello Lofton would be nailed by Carrington Coombs for a 1-yard loss after making the catch. The Lions defense quickly deposed the Pathers offense, allowing their offense's final chance to score before the quarter came to a close. The offense used five plays to go for the 42 yards needed for the score, with Caldwell again scoring on an 11-yard run to make this a 14-0 game.

The Lions would score twice more in the second quarter to take a 24-0 lead into the locker room. Caldwell scored his third touchdown on a 5-yard run, and Eblen added a 34-yard field goal.

The Lions would score three touchdowns in the second half to take this one 48-0.

KJ Thomas caught a little pass and broke a tackle to go 97 yards for the first score. After a puzzling onside kick that Steve recovered, the Lions would score on a Stallworth-to-Jarvis Marthurin 32-yard pass, where Marthurin broke a tackle to score. The final score came on a pick-six by Stoud Morris on a poorly thrown pass from Enon Paige, making the final score 48-0.

2024 With Head Coach Jake Heigel from Brockway High School, PA.

  Jake Heigel Brockway High  Head Football Coach Who was the best player you have ever coached against, and what team did he play for? Carson Neely, Port Allegany  Looking back from day one as a coach up to the present, what have been the low and high points of your coaching career? 2020 was a rough first year. We had maybe 15 kids on the roster in preseason sometime in late June. We ended up with probably 6 starters who had never played football in their lives, which isn’t exactly a recipe for success! I was also ejected from our game against Cowanesque Valley. We lost to DuBois 49-0 to end the difficult season... The future did not look so bright. - But fast forward to 2022, where we won our first playoff game 62-6. Followed that up with a win against the reigning western finals champion, Redbank Valley, in a 7-3 fist fight to advance to the D9 championship. In 2023, we won an overtime thriller against DuBois Area 14–13, avenging a 1-point loss at the 1-yard line the year prior.

Small school football

  As the 2024 football season approaches, I want to say thank you to all of the players, coaches, cheerleaders, band members, officials, and all of the school staff for the good times you are about to give thousands of fans this year. As a fan and a person who covers games, I often get asked why I go to as many smaller school games as I do, and I always tell those asking that there is something special about driving into a small town or village and seeing signs wishing the team well. The crowds might not be as large as the bigger school games, but to a certain extent, they are more into it. I believe that is because almost everyone knows everyone, and it is really a community by itself. The players put their pads on the same as the players at the bigger schools, and they, as with the bigger schools, give it their all as much as they can. The biggest difference some will say is talent; others will say size and speed; but more often than not, at a small school, most of the players are
