The Mountain Home High School football team came up short in their quest for their first win of the season Friday night at Russellville. Brad Haworth has the details.
Listen:
Mountain Home scored their first first quarter points of the year Friday night and led after one period, but Russellville used big second and third quarters to secure a 38-28 victory.
It was Mountain Home who struck first. Jett Hannaford caught a 70-yard pass from Cade Yates to set up Brady Barnett who scored on a five-yard run.
Russellville would score 17 points in the second quarter on a touchdown pass from DA Reed to Cayden Rose, a 46 yard scoring run by Tracy Daniels and a 25-yard field goal by Elijah Stratton.
Mountain added a one-yard touchdown run from Jacob Chenoweth to make it 17-14 at the break.
The Cyclones picked up where they left off after halftime with 21 third quarter points.
The Bombers weren’t done though. Barnett added his second T.D. run of the game, scoring from seven yards out and Yates hooked up with Hannaford for a nine-yard scoring strike.
Yates finished with 223 passing yards; Hannaford had four catches for 112 yards and the score; and Barnett had four catches for 71 yards and eight rushes for 31 yards and the two touchdowns.
Mountain Home had 371 yards of total offense. The Cyclones rolled up 459 yards.
The Bombers fall to 0-5 overall and 0-3 in the 6A West. They will host Pulaski Academy, the number one team in the state in class 6A, next Friday night.
Russellville is now 1-3 and 1-2.
