Adam Bray with Lake Cumberland Sports, the Briar Jumpers first quarter mistakes were too much to overcome Q1 scoring #6 M. Simmons 54 yard touchdown run 7-0 Garrard #21 C. Peak 33 yard touchdown run 14-0 Garrard #3 J. Parsons to #12 J. Newcome 21 yard pass touchdown 21-0 Garrard #16 J. Bruner to #6 C. Cimala 35 yard touchdown pass 21-7 Garrard #6 M. Simmons 6 yard touchdown run 28-7 Garrard Q2 #16 J. Bruner to #17 K. Hughes 9 yard pass touchdown 28-14 Garrard #17 K. Hughes 5 yard touchdown run 28-21 Garrard Q3 #16 J. Bruner 1 yard touchdown run tied 28-28 Q4 #3 J. Parsons to #21 C. Peak 37 yard touchdown pass 35-28 Garrard final 35-28 Garrard. Somerset’s early turnovers and Garrard’s ability to quickly strike and get their athletes in space from the Wing-T set were ultimately too much to overcome despite somerset outscoring Garrard 21-7 after the 1st quarter. A couple key stops on Somerset drives - one near the end of the first half and another that went deep into Garrard territory at the end of the ballgame were enough to give them this upset win. from what I saw last season, I knew Garrard had some special players in Peak and Simmons, and they have both been having a great season thus far, averaging over 100 yards of offense each per game. During warmups, I thought to myself Somerset could have their hands full, just didn’t know the hands would be overflowing in the 1st quarter. Somerset did well to lessen the blows and roll with the punches after the scary 21-0 and 28-7 start to the game, but they fell for the second straight week against a team they’ve historically dominated. The Briar Jumpers will try to avoid falling to 2-3 next week versus 1A power Campbellsville.
