 JET Middle Schools Prevails in Showdown over Merriwether By Tim Crane web posted October 27, 2011 SPORTS – The JET Eagles finished the season with a thrilling 40-22 win over Merriwether Wednesday night. Sanchez Singleton put the Eagles on the board by going 51 yards to pay dirt on his first touch of the evening. Keeley Marchant cut the lead 6-3 when she connected a field goal with 5:57 to play in the first quarter for the Mustangs. JET showed balance offensively as quarterback Padgett Sumner connected a 45 yard touchdown pass to Donte Stover. Sanchez Singleton converted the two point play pushing JET out front 14-6 with 4:40 to go in the second quarter. The Mustangs fortune wouldn’t get any better when Eagle defender Grayson Cornwell scooped and scored a Merriwether fumble from 25 yards out to extend the JET’s lead 20-3. The Mustangs cut the lead as time expired in the first half when DeAndre Ryans connected a 10 yard pass to Keli Lovett. After two quarters JET was on top 20-9. Chad Gilchrist broke a 72 yard touchdown run to open the 3rd quarter soaring the Eagle lead 26-9. But the Mustangs came right back with a DeAndre Ryan’s 27 yard touchdown run. Keeley Marchant nailed the extra point, cutting the lead 26-16 with 3:41 to go in the 3rd quarter. Sanchez Singleton electrified the crowd and dampened any thoughts of a Merriwether comeback when he took the ensuing kickoff 60+ yards for a touchdown. Fred Martin connected the extra point and JET’s lead would be insurmountable at the 3:36 mark of the 3rd quarter, 33-16. Keveon Broadwater scooped a JET fumble and rumbled 50 yards for the final Mustang score with 5:54 to play in the game, which moved the score 33-22 in favor of JET. The Eagles would put together one final drive, capped off by another Sanchez Singleton touchdown run with just under one minute to play. Fred Martin split the uprights and JET went on to win 40-22. Merriwether ends their season at 4-4 while JET finished 7-1. It was a great game by both teams and coaches. Strom Thurmond has a very bright future with the talent coming up from both of these schools. © Copyright 2011 All material is property of
