Dragons continue winning ways with rout of Strother

The Dewar Dragon varsity football team improved their current winning streak to 18 games this past Friday with a convincing 69-22 win over the Strother Yellowjackets.

The Dewar Dragon varsity football team improved their current winning streak to 18 games this past Friday with a convincing 69-22 win over the Strother Yellowjackets.

The mercy-rule victory came in the third non-district contest for the defending Class B state champions in 2021.

The Dragons were not originally scheduled to battle Strother this season, but the Yellowjackets stepped up and took the place of the Hollis Tigers, who had to cancel their Week 3 meeting with Dewar for an unknown reason.

The convincing win over Strother moves the Dragons to 3-0 on the year. The Dewar squad will look to continue their winning ways this Friday at home against the Foyil Panthers. Friday’s non-district game with Foyil is set to get underway at 7 p.m. at Dr. Ted Lewis Stadium in Dewar. In last Friday’s non-district

In last Friday’s non-district battle with Strother, the Dewar defense came away with a total of six takeaways against the Yellowjackets, recovering four fumbles and hauling in two interceptions - returning two of the takeaways for scores.

The Dragons did most of their scoring in the first quarter, erupting for 41 points in the first 12 minutes of action.

Jameson Ross began the Dewar scoring in the opening frame, scampering 20 yards to paydirt for the first Dragon touchdown of the contest. The try for two was unsuccessful, giving the home team the early 6-0 advantage. The next Dewar score in the

The next Dewar score in the opening frame came on a 1-yard fumble return by Kade Henderson. The Dragons were able to reach the end zone for the conversion to extend their lead to 14-0.

Ross accounted for the next two Dewar scores in the contest, scoring on runs of 8 and 13 yards, respectively. Thomas Brownfield went 1 for 2 in PAT kicks to push the Dragon lead to 27-0.

Ross then connected with Marshall Been on an 18-yard TD pass for the next Dragon score. The Dewar offense crossed the goal line for the conversion to extend the lead to 35-0.

The host Yellowjackets found their way onto the scoreboard for the first time in the contest in the opening frame, scoring on an 8-yard run. The try for two was no good, making it a 35-6 margin for the visiting Dragons.

Nevin Corbin put the finishing touches on Dewar’s 41-point first-quarter total with a 10-yard run late in the stanza. The Dragons were unable to reach the end zone on the conversion attempt to take a commanding 41-6 lead into the second frame.

The second quarter scoring started with the Dewar defense finding the end zone, as Brownfield returned an interception 70 yards to paydirt. The try for two was successful, extending the Dragons margin to 49-6.

A 61-yard aerial strike from Ross to Nevin Corbin made it a 55-6 Dewar lead and the Dragons appeared on their way to a mercy-rule win after the first half.

Strother put any chances of the game ending at halftime with a 4-yard TD run near the end of the second quarter. The Yellowjackets were also successful on the conversion attempt to make it a 55-14 Dewar lead at the intermission.

The host Yellowjackets opened the second half with a 70-yard TD run and successful conversion attempt to cut the Dewar advantage to 55-22.

Ross and Brownfield hooked up on a 39-yard pass play in the third quarter, while the Dragons were able to find the end zone on the conversion attempt to make it a 63-22 contest.

The game came to a close on the 45-point mercy rule later in the third quarter when Tylor Sullivan crossed the goal line from 10 yards out, giving the Dragons the 69-22 victory.

The Dragons finished with 424 yards of total offense in the non-district contest with 283 of those yards coming on the ground, led by Nevin Corbin with 134 yards on 10 carries and one score. Corbin also led the receiving stat line, hauling in two passes for 79 yards and one TD.
