Ooltewah Flys Past Signal Mountain, 46-3

  • Friday, August 28, 2015

Ooltewah rolled to a 46-3 win at Signal Mountain in a game that ended with the mercy rule in effect for the fourth-quarter.

The Owls tallied 33 unanswered first-half points. The Eagles, dressing only 29 players, got on the board late in the game when Ben Brown kicked a 40-yard field goal.

The Owls first scored on a pass play to Cameron Turner.

Signal Mountain was moving the ball where the Owls middle linebacker Jeremiah Jackson scooped up a fumble and took it in. Ooltewah led 13-0 after the extra point try was blocked with a minute left in the first quarter.

Turner had a long jaunt into the end zone that was called back to the Owls 27 by a penalty. Rashun Freeman took it in to put Ooltewah up 19-0 with 9:07 left in the half.

A penalty also nullified a 65-yard punt return by Freeman, then Signal Mountain grabbed a fumble that was forced by linebacker Jack Chandler. But the Eagles could not advance, and Turner took it in for a 26-0 advantage for Ooltewah.

Before the half, Peyton Oliver caught a pass to advance the ball to the two for Ooltewah. Freeman then got the score and it was 33-0 at halftime.

Ooltewah, which lost last week 9-5 to powerful Murfreesboro Riverdale, picked up a second-half field goal. Then Joseph Norwood scored after an Adrian Hall interception that moved the ball to the Eagles' 22. A final Ooltewah field goal put the margin at 46-3.

Signal Mountain plays next week at East Ridge.
