Cornersville shutout streak continues

It's been seven weeks since a team scored a point on Cornersville. And even then it came against the Bulldogs' backups.

Cornersville whipped Richland 57-0 to stay undefeated at 8-0. Community is the lone team to score on the Bulldogs, falling 41-20 in Week 1.

"Our starting defense has not given up a point," Cornersville coach Gerard Randolph said. "Community scored with our young guys in."

Randolph said the team's defense is filled with four-year starters.

"They know the scheme," he said. "We're all about zero bars on the scoreboard."
