French Camp rallies past winless Eagles to improve to 6-2

By Austin Bishop

Edinburg 7, French Camp 0.

That was not the score veteran French Camp Academy head coach Nathan Wright was looking for on Friday night, but that's what he had.

"We gave up that one play and we were behind," Wright said. "But we did a little better offensively in the second half and was able to get the win."

The FCA Panthers held homestanding Edinburg to just 35 yards of total offense on the way to a 33-7 Region 3-1A win.

"The defense played well, but we didn't do anything offensively," Wright said. They scored on that one pass, but other than that we dominated."

That one pass was an 80-yard completion for a touchdown that gave the homestanding Eagles a 7-0 halftime lead.

While Edinburg passed for 94 yards on the night, the Panthers held EHS to minus-59 yards rushing on 17 carries.

French Camp sophomore Jovon Turner got the Panthers back in the game by returning the second-half kick-off 85 yards for a touchdown.

He than added a pair of 7-yard touchdown runs in the third quarter to put the winners up 18-7 with just 12 minutes left to play.

FCA, now 6-2 overall and 5-2 in Region 3-1A play, picked up fourth quarter touchdowns on a 27-yard pass from Jesse Hosket to Chris Nickson and a 4-yard run by Darius Gary.

Turner finished the night with 93 rushing yards on 21 carries, while Gary rushed for 49 yards on five carries and Josh Hardin 44 yards on 10 attempts.

Hosket hit on 5-of-14 passes for 76 yards, with Nickson having two catches for 39 yards and Aro Nebk, Ben Hosket and Turner claiming one each.

Defensively Nebk led the way with three interceptions, while Grady Henderson picked off one pass and Bangali Sillah had eight tackles, including two for a loss. Kawsu Sillah had five tackles, with three for a loss for the Panthers.
