THE DEMOPOLIS TIMES

URIAH &8212; The Linden High School Patriots came out strong against their jamboree opponents, J.U. Blacksher, beating the group soundly 33-14.

Coach Andro Williams&8217; first team unit came out determined in the first half, rolling over their opponents 27-0. The group saw scores from three players in the first half, Darius Fountain, Gary Williams and two from Shaun Richardson. Williams said he saw a lot of positive things from his group in the game.

Williams said the first team group displayed great conditioning in the first half, noting that the group did not seem winded going into the half. He said along with the good he can take from the game, there were also some dark spots that need addressing before the start of the regular season.

Williams said the group stalled on a couple of drives and also had a touchdown called back due to a penalty, which he will also work on with his team. He said the second half, where J.U. Blacksher scored its two touchdowns, was largely a chance for his second unit to get playing time, as the first units only played one drive to start the half.
