Tucker vs Cedar Grove Football

Friday, August 23, 2013

High school football is back and the Tucker Tigers wanted to start out with a bang. They went head to head with the Cedar Grove Saints at Panthersville Stadium in Decatur. As the sun set and the game started it looked like both teams were evenly matched. Neither offense moved the ball very far for the first few possessions. Then Tucker’s Dominick Sanders scored the Tigers’ first touchdown. Cedar Grove answered right away with a touchdown of their own. That’s when the bottom fell out for the Saints. Tucker scored numerous touchdowns in the first half leaving Cedar Grove reeling with a 44-6 lead. The second half, Tucker put in their second string scoring just one more touchdown and allowing only one touchdown by the Saints. Final score of the game Tucker 51, Cedar Grove 12.
