BULLARD – The Bullard woes on the football gridiron continued on Friday night as the Davis duo from Gladewater wentoff in the first half on their way to a 51-15 win over Bullard on Friday night at Panther Stadium.

The Panthers were dominated as the Bears rolled up 542 total yards in the contest.

Corey Davis accounted for 116 yards on 11 carries in the game for Gladewater as the junior, ran for 79-yards on seven carries and three touchdowns in the first half alone as the Bears took a 32-8, halftime lead.

Corey added two more third quarter scores to finish with five touchdowns.

Junior quarterback, Courtney Davis ran for 70-yards and passed for another 59- yards.

Bullard finally got on the board trailing 16-0 after the Davis’ duo traded TD’s for Gladewater early on.

Fleet-footed and Kirk Bryant ran under a Marquez Franklin pass, juked a Bear defender and scored from 35-yards out for his first varsity touchdown.

Panther quarterback, Franklin ran in the PAT and 16-8, and a count.

Corey Davis added two, second quarter TD runs of 19 and 10-yards for the 32- 8 halftime bulge. He added four more carries in the second half and scored on two of the totes from 25 and 8-yards to up the count to 44-8.

With the game well in-hand for the Bears, Bullard scored their final tally when Sydney Lawson ran in from 19-yards. Thunder-foot, Santiago Escobar’s, PAT kick made it a 44-15 contest.

Gladewater topped off the scoring with a snub as Bear, Josh Price capped off the scoring with 47-seconds left on a 58- yard scoring run, and Ed Lee kicked the PAT for the 51-15, final score.

Bullard (1-7; 0-3), plays host to Chapel Hill next Friday night. Gladewater (3-5; 2- 1), entertains the top-ranked Gilmer Buckeyes.

LOOKING AHEAD

Chapel Hill let a district win slip through its hands for the second time in three weeks last week in a 14-7 loss to Tatum.

Tatum scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns, the game-winner set up by a fumble.

Chapel Hill (3-5, 0-3 in District 17-3A) lost its third straight and this one was eerily similar to the Bulldogs’ district-opening loss to Spring Hill.
