After a scoreless first half, BC took advantage of good field position on its initial drive of the second half as Konner Humphreys capped off a seven-play, 43-yard march with a 1-yard run with 3:54 left in the third quarter. Humphreys also ran in the conversion.

The visitors got on the board again on their next possession when Landyn Carpenter collected a pass from Robbie Jones on a second-and-20 play and raced 60 yards for the score. Humphreys added his second conversion run of the night to make it 16-0, with 1:08 remaining in the canto.

The Hornets’ best scoring opportunity of the first half was led by a 20-yard punt return by Randal Marks and the strong running of Devin Hulver that gave EMS the ball at the BC 21-yard line before the drive ended on downs.

Barbour County’s defense then locked down the remainder of the night.

Elkins Middle School’s Randal Marks picks up positive yards on a punt return as Barbour County’s Landyn Carpenter (22) lunges to make the tackle attempt Thursday night at EHS Field.
