PIKE ROAD—The Pike Road Patriots took care of Hueytown, but it was not as clean as the Patriots expected.
“We are more disciplined than what we are showing, and I thought they responded well,” Pike Road coach Granger Shook said. “We will learn from it. I know I’m not proud of the performance in the first half. I don‘t think anybody is.”
Pike Road jumped on the Golden Gophers early, blocking a Hueytown punt out of the end zone for a safety early in the game before running back Quinton Robinson ran the ball in from three yards out to give the Patriots an 8-0 lead going into the second quarter.
