Tanner was looking to beat Red Bay like they did the last time the pair played, but Tanner didn't take Jaxon Vinson into account. The Red Bay Tigers blew past the Tanner Rattlers 46-6 on Friday thanks in part to Vinson, who rushed for 250 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 10.0 yards per carry, and also picked up 78 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Those 250 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Vinson was just one part of a punishing run game: Red Bay was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 291 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 170 rushing yards in four consecutive contests.
Red Bay's win bumped their record up to 2-6. As for Tanner, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-7.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Tigers faces off against Phil Campbell at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. That game will pit two of the most dominant backs against one another: Hayden Wingo and Vinson. As for Tanner, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Sweet Water at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Sweet Water knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past six matchups -- so hopefully Tanner likes a good challenge.
