Thompson grabbed a huge win this weekend with a 47-7 victory over Tuscaloosa County on the
road to open region play. Thompson is looking for it's second region title in a row and 12 th overall
and started off with a huge momentum building victory.

In a rain-filled game, mistakes were made by both sides in terms of wet gameplay, but the
Warriors were able to start off the game with a drive led by running back Michael Dujon as he
helped drive the Warriors down for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead. Not long after, Dujon rattled off
an 85-yard run to open up the game to 14-0, which would end up being enough for the win.

A muffed punt led to Tuscaloosa County getting the ball in the red zone, where they punched it
in for their lone touchdown. However, Trent Seaborn, RJ Evans and the whole offense weren't
going to be denied as they scored multiple times and the defense came up with big stops to end
up 33-7 at the half.

Many new names got into the game to get some valuable experience as the game went on,
including freshman Mekhi Billingsley getting on the board with a touchdown and Conner
Williams connecting with Brooks Byars for a score as well.

Thompson ended the game with 307 yards rushing and 5 touchdowns on the ground. Leading
the way was Dujon with 11 carries for 171 yards and two touchdowns. RJ Evans added 76
yards on 8 carries for two more scores with Billingsley rushing for 48 yards on 8 carries and a
touchdown as well. On a wet night, Seaborn finished 4/9 for 53 yards and an interception while
Williams ended up 3/5 for 25 yards and a touchdown. Pryce Lewis led six different receivers
with 26 yards on a single reception.

On defense, Trent Cheatom and Vini Pires led with 8 tackles a piece and 3 combined tackles for
loss. The defense as a whole had 11 tackles for loss, including 2 sacks by Jared Smith and
Wesley Gover. 24 different players recorded a tackle in the game with 9 earning a tackle for
loss. Cheatom and Nik Alston led the way with 2 each.

John Alan McGuire added a 29-yard long field goal and was perfect on PATs along with 7/8
kickoffs going for touchbacks and one punt for 45 yards.

Next week, Thompson returns to Warrior Stadium to take on Oak Mountain who just lost a
heartbreaker to Prattville in their opening game. The Eagles are 2-1 after wins over Briarwood
and Pelham to start the season.
