The Cougars may have traveled to Dan Y. Boring Stadium, but there was certainly nothing boring about their game.

Facing off with one of Tennessee’s top running backs in JaJuan Stinson, Campbell County had a rough hill to climb. The speedy 5-foot-7 junior was made out to be 12-foot tall after having rushed 416 yards the week before against Clinton. That number ranks as the seventh highest mark ever posted in the state.

Against the Cougars, however, he only managed 16 yards in the first half as the Bobcats took the win, 21-7.

When: Friday

Where: Jellico High School; Bill Humphreys Stadium

Kickoff: 7:30 p.m.

Records: Wartburg Central (2-5, 1-2 District 4-A) at Jellico (0-7, 0-3)

Previous meeting: Last year, the Bulldogs of Wartburg Central took the District 4-A meeting from the Blue Devils. Jellico fell to their district foe by a score of 60-14 at Wartburg Central.

Coming out of the first quarter on Friday night, it looked like Jellico was in fine shape, trailing only 14-8.

However, with three minutes left in the second quarter, those little mistakes became the big talk for the Blue Devils, as they fell 55-8.

Josh Lay, who returned it to the Bobcat 26-yard line, stripped Oliver Spring’s Shawn Childress of the ball. On Jellico’s next play, they gave it back to the Bobcats.

This one shouldn’t go over easy.

The 12th annual Egg Bowl is set for tonight (Thursday) as the LaFollette Owls travel to Jacksboro Middle School to take on the Eagles in what some are calling the “biggest game of the year.”

The battle is set for 7 p.m., and it is already boiling up to be a good one.

Since the beginning of the season, the Owls have scrambled from an 0-3 record at the start. Winning three straight, LaFollette will come into this game totally even at 3-3.
