Hewitt-Trussville wanted a track meet and that's exactly what it got. The Class 7A, No. 4-ranked Huskies' offense was nearly unstoppable in a 52-18 win at No. 10 Bob Jones tonight in Madison. Three-star junior quarterback Paul Tyson accounted for six touchdowns - five passing and one rushing - to lead the rout. Hewitt-Trussville (6-0, 4-0 Region 4) scored touchdowns on five of its six first-half possessions, running 55 plays to Bob Jones' 22, and lead 35-6 at the break. The only drive that didn't result in points was a turnover on downs at the Bob Jones 1-yard line. The Huskies added two touchdowns and a field goal on its first three possessions after intermission. Bob Jones quarterback Caden Rose scored on runs of 79, 27 and 3 yards as the Patriots fell to 4-3 and 3-1 Game ball: Tyson unofficially completed 26-of-35 passes for 338 yards and no interceptions. He threw touchdowns to three receivers. Tyson had 264 yards through the air at halftime. He now has 17 touchdown passes against just one interception on the season.

Bob Jones was a top 10 7A school and Tyson threw for 338 yards and 5 passing TDs. That article says he has 17 on the season. That's the most in the state, passing Taulia. These two guys are studs.

Slade’s Highlights

2nd play of the game Slade had a long TD called back on straight bullshite. WR blocking, 2nd defender runs into the CB. Both go flying. They call holding and bring it back. He would’ve had 150-160 and 3 TDs.

As long as Mac Jones doesn't transfer we won't need a QB in this class with these two beasts coming down the pipe.

I would be fine not taking a QB this class, if we can get those two.

Are Slade and WM on track to win a title?

6-0 and shouldn’t have a real threat until week 2-3 of playoffs.

TS, where do you think Tyson ends up ranked, 4 or 5 star?

He won't be a 5-star.

They only give out 32 and the Class of 2019 is loaded across the board.

I predict he'll be a Top 150 prospect when it's all said and done. With what next year's class has in regards to elite players that's still a very good ranking.

He's married with a kid, while playing college football. I doubt he has much time for thugging.

I'm speaking more to his thuggish ways as a high schooler than current situation.

He thugs it up on the sideline plenty enough.

I think that's how he ended up being out at UGA, too.

Acadiana if the refs let them do their signature rolling line. When they get that going, it’s damn near impossible to stop their run game. If the refs make them actually get set for a second, they aren’t nearly as formidable. Still, they’re really good and I expect those two to meet in the Dome unless they’re on the same side of the bracket. WM is always susceptible to a great spread team with an accurate QB as well. We shall see.

Yeah.

His attitude was terrible coming out of high school and Richt kicked him to the curb because of it.

What should’ve been Slade’s first TD

1st TD

2nd TD isn’t on Twitter it seems. I’ll record it from the replay and post to Twitter then post it here.

Keeping your throne calls for grit, moxie and experience. West Monroe can check all the boxes, while the one Ruston couldn't cross off its lists reared its head.

The Rebels held the Bearcats at bay to make enough plays in the second half to win both team's District 2-5A opene, 28-14, and continue to tout district supremacy, at least for one more week. The victory was West Monroe's 81st straight in district competition.

"This game was exactly what I thought it'd be, I knew it'd be a war," West Monroe head football coach Jerry Arledge said. "In the last 25, 26 years, this whole district year-in and year-out has been pretty tough. That's what you want, you want tough district games because that prepares you down the road.
"We learn great lessons from games like this, and (Ruston) will, too. They'll be a team to be reckoned with in this state."
After tying the game, 14-14, on its first series of the second half and forcing a Rebel punt to get the ball back with a chance to take the lead, Ruston (3-2, 0-1) handed the momentum back on a bouncing snap on a punt deep in their own territory and giving West Monroe (6-0, 1-0) great field position at the 9-yard line.
Three plays later, Rebel senior quarterback and Alabama commit Slade Bolden ran it in from 3 yards out, putting his team back up, 21-14, with 2:45 remaining in the third quarter.
"You just can't make those mistakes against good football teams," Ruston head football coach Jerrod Baugh said. "Any time two good football teams get together, it's going to come down to those things and we can't make those type of mistakes."
With 3:23 to go, Bolden would put the game away on a 36-yard touchdown run, capping a five-play, 80-yard drive as the Rebels led, 28-14. Bolden would finish the night with 129 total yards of offense, gaining 102 in the second half, and three total touchdowns.

In the playoff-type atmosphere and while it was still a one-possession ballgame, the Bearcats couldn't string together and only advanced to plus-territory once in the second half.
Ruston grabbed the early, 7-0, lead marching 80 yards on its second drive of the game and junior quarterback Eric Outley hit Tahj Samuel in the flats on a play action pass for a 13-yard touchdown strike at the 2:00 first-quarter mark.
West Monroe had 285 yards of offense while Ruston had 201 total yards.
"I thought it was a playoff-type atmosphere, that's what we need to get used to," Baugh said. "Our kids didn't respond as far as making the plays we needed to win the ballgame and they did. They're more used to the atmosphere that's here and we need to be able to get used to that and learn how to make plays whenever it's time."
Turning point
Bearcat head coach Jerrod Baugh said earlier in the week a big factor in the game would be special teams. And he was right.

The bad snap on a punt from Ruston's own 27 gave an already dangerous offense the ball just 9 yards away from the end zone. While the Rebels special teams didn't score the touchdown, it might as well as Bolden and company retook the lead three plays later and it seemed like the Bearcats never recovered.
"That was a gift. You never know when you're going to get a gift like that," Arledge said. "You know, that's part of football. It's all part of the special teams."
The running back show
Football is an 11-on-11 game, but for much of the game, the running backs for both squad stole the spotlight.
West Monroe junior tailback Cameron Wright paced the ground show with 18 carries for 177 yards and a touchdown. Ruston senior running back and Louisiana Tech commit Deandre Marcus ended the game with 23 rushes for 119 yards and a score.

Defense stays flexin'
One week after corralling rival Neville and its two-headed rushing attack to just seven points, the West Monroe showed it mettle for the second straight game, limiting a lethal Bearcat run-pass-option offense to just 14 points and 201 total yards on offense.
Senior linebacker J.B. Gullatt, junior defensive tackle Dalvin Hutchinson each had three tackles-for-loss.
The Bearcats' defense led by Samuel, who also had three tackles-for-loss, kept Bolden in check most of the night and gave up just 285 yards to the Rebels' high-octane offense.
81 and counting...
The Rebels extended their already unthinkable district winning streak to 81 games Friday. West Monroe hasn't lost a district game since Oct. 12, 2002.

What's next
West Monroe hosts Alexandria (3-3, 1-0) for homecoming next Friday, while Ruston welcomes Ouachita (4-2, 1-0) to James Field.
