St. Frances caps unbeaten football season with 43-14 win
Blake Corum had two rushing touchdowns to lead No. 1 Saint Frances to a 43-14 victory over host Lee County (Ga.) in the State Champions Bowl Series Saturday night.
Corum capped a six-play, 80-yard drive with a 55-yard touchdown for a 7-0 lead with 10:45 left in the first quarter. His second touchdown run was 87 yards on a third-and-12 with 9:34 left in the third quarter for a 26-14 lead.
The two teams traded scores in the first half. The Trojans (15-1) answered Corum’s first score with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Toole to Chauncey Magwood with 3:02 left in the first quarter. It was the first time an opponent scored against the Panthers starting defense all-season long.
St. Frances (10-0) defense recovered when Clinton Burton stripped the ball and Osman Savage had a 40-yard fumble return for a touchdown and a 14-7 Panthers lead with 12 seconds left in the first quarter.
Lee County came back again with a 2-yard touchdown run by Shaun Kimbrough with 9:41 left in the half and tied the game at 14. St. Frances would surge ahead again on a 19-yard touchdown pass from John Griffith to Traeshon Holden for a 20-14 lead with 6:46 left in the first half.
Saint Frances’ defense quieted the Trojans in the second half while scoring 23 points of their own.
