Patriots dump the Raiders 21-6

The fans, players, and coaches for the Patriots were skeptical of what to expect before the game tonight. The team that came to Patriot Field last year with the North Half State championship and a trip to Clinton on the line abslutely controlled the game from start to finish and won handly on their way to a second place finish 1 win away from being state champs. In the regular season though it played out differently with the Patriots coming out on top in Grenada as they went undefeated in conference play. Kirk wanted to set that tone this year knocking off the Patriots on their home field once againi but Coach Sims and the Patriot defense had other plans.
For yet another game the defense gave up no touchdowns and they have yet to this season. The game started with two failed offensive drives by the Patriots and two field goals by Kirk capitalizing off of those failed drives. After that the Patiot offense kicked in both on the ground and through the air. Tyler Dalton came up with another big game going for over 100 yards passing again even with having a backfield full of kirk players. Forced to scramble all night, T.D. made due of what he had and became a real quarterback against his first real test. Kyle Harriman had another good night as well and ran the ball very well. Defensively Caleb Kelley led us with 7 tackles as the defense was spreading the tackles around and forcing fumbles left and right. The Patriot defense's efforts earned them the Players of the game. Coming into the game we knew it was going to be a defensive battle which was clarified early and often. Now the Patriots real test begins and it will be the biggest of the year. This game alone will tell everyone how the season will go. Next week at Patriot field, the Winston Patriots will be taking on the mighty Leake Academy Rebels. The Rebles had an undefeated regular season last year although they lost to Kirk in the playoffs. Leake has come back with just as high of expectations and are 3-1 with their lone loss coming to the hands of the defending State Champs Copiah Lincoln. Everyone in the state public or private will have their eyes on this game next week and I trust that all you readers will have your eyes on it as well in person. We will need all the help we can get against the highly touted offense. I will be back later this week with rankings for the week and a preview of the mighty Leake Rebles. Until then good night to all and be safe. GO PATS!!!!
