Dougherty had lost six straight at home dating back to last season, but on Friday they dropped down to 2-8 to make it seven. They took a 28-21 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Bainbridge Bearcats. The game was a 7-7 toss-up at halftime, but the Trojans couldn't quite close it out.
Bainbridge's first win this season bumped their record up to 1-9. Their offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.
Bainbridge's victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Xzabion Jackson, who rushed for 124 yards and one score on only ten carries. The team also got some help courtesy of Bryce Olds, who rushed for 120 yards and one TD on only 11 carries.
Dougherty will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Jefferson at 7:00 p.m. on the 14th. The Dragons will roll in looking for their sixth straight win, something the Trojans surely won't give up without a fight. Bainbridge does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
