DIERKS OUTLAWS DEFEAT THE HORNETS

DIERKS DEFEATS MINERAL SPRINGS - The Dierks Outlaws secured second place in the 7 Double “A” West football conference Thursday night, with a 49 to 27 win over Mineral Springs. The game was tied at 7 at the end of the first quarter but both teams turned up the scoring in the 2nd period. The game was tied at 21 until just before halftime when Mineral Springs blocked an Outlaws field goal attempt and returned it for a touchdown, giving the Hornets a 27 to 21 halftime lead. However, that would be the last bright spot of the night for Mineral Springs as Dierks dominated the remaining two quarters. A blocked punt by the outlaws capped the scoring in the 49 to 27 victory. Both teams open the double “A” playoffs next Friday.

In the 7 Double “A” West, the top seeds are Mt. Ida, Dierks, Mineral Springs, Murfreesboro and Horatio. Mt. Ida will open against Augusta. The Dierks Outlaws host Conway Christian. Mineral Springs opens the playoffs against Smackover while Murfreesboro travels to Mountain Pine in week one.
