H.S. FOOTBALL: Scotts Hill, Hardin Co., Riverside, Camden win

REAGAN – After floundering for years at the bottom of district standings with records that were never better than 2-8, the Scotts Hill football program can rest easy in the fact the Lions are assured of not having a losing season.

The Lions defeated Gleason on Friday 54-20 to improve to 5-4.

The game was tied at 14 at halftime.

The Lions will play winless Middleton next week to finish the regular season. If Scotts Hill wins, the Lions’ 6-4 record would almost surely get the Lions into the playoffs for the first time.

Hardin County 28, Bolivar 17: The difference in the battle of the Tigers was the third quarter in which Hardin County outscored Bolivar 12-0.

Cal Gobbell ran for an 18-yard TD and threw to Nick Godwin for another.

Gobbell surpassed the 100-yard mark twice as he finished with 132 passing yards and 175 rushing yards. He’s surpassed the 1,000-yard mark in both categories for the season.

Riverside 42, Collinwood 0: Riverside scored 21 points in the first half then doubled that total in the third quarter.

Shemar Porter had a pair of touchdown runs, and Drake Smith had a couple of touchdown passes to Riley Coleman and Mason Stokes. Lane Wood had a 70-yard fumble recovery and return.
