Final

Was wanting to see the outcome of this game as we play both teams.

 

How did Oxidine do in this game?

I had a feeling about this one, Henry Clay is improved over last season. I always pull for the Commodores because of old ties but I thought they would have their hands full this week.

Henry Clay running back Elijah Bell flashed neon green football shoes at Tates Creek on Friday night.

“Flashed” is the accurate word because the fast, elusive Bell’s fancy feet were a blur of color as he led the Blue Devils to a 43-25 victory.

Bell, a 5-foot-9, 155-pound junior, has 4.47 speed and an uncanny ability to slip tackles. He showed those talents against the Commodores, rushing 14 times for 220 yards and four touchdowns.

He would have had a fifth score if he hadn’t fumbled at the Tates Creek 1-yard line after a 44-yard run. The ball rolled out of the end zone.

“Sometimes you just get out of the way as a coach and let a kid play, and he can play,” Henry Clay Coach Sam Simpson said.

Bell, who is averaging 250 all-purpose yards a game, credited his offensive line for giving him lots of running room, and the defense, which came up with four interceptions, for the Devils’ eighth win over Tates Creek in nine years.

Congrats to Henry Clay. I really liked Tates Creek in this game, but it seems that HC is starting to pick up speed/power and the weeks go by.
