Blackman (TN) 34, Tucker 21

How the game was won: Blackman jumped on visiting Tucker 14-0 with two quick touchdowns and the Tigers could never cut the deficit to fewer than seven points. The Blaze did not score a touchdown in the second half, but their defense stayed strong and an interception by Blake Taylor thwarted any comeback hopes for Tucker.

Top performers: Taylor also had an interception in the first quarter that set up Blackman's second touchdown. ... Blaze quarterback Miller Armstrong caught on a touchdown from Connor Mitchell on a double-pass to begin the scoring. Armstrong also threw a three-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Sewell and found the endzone on a six-yard keeper. ... Both Armstrong and Taeler Dowdy went over the 100-yard mark on the ground for Blackman and Dowdy wrapped up the first-half scoring with a one-yard touchdown plunge. ... Thomas Burks kicked field goals of 40 yards and 36 yards to ice the game. ... Tucker got a pair of scoring runs from Chris Broadwater.
