Akers’ PAT was good.

Lee put another TD in the endzone with 1:42 left in the half, and the PAT was good.

Wooten had his third TD of the night with 7:27 left in the third quarter, and the extra point was successful.

Johnson added a 1-yard touchdown with 2:17 left in the third, and the Squadron’s extra point was good.

Zion Chapel quarterback Ethan Deal got the Rebels lone touchdown, in their 55-6 loss to Highland Home Friday night.

Deal scored a two-yard TD with 7:11 left in the fourth quarter.

Kori Bell scored the Squadron’s last TD of the night with 3:10 left in the game, and the extra point was good.

Squadron head coach Tom Pinkston said he made some changes to his team after last week’s loss to region opponent and county rival Luverne.

“We put Lewis (Johnson) at quarterback,” he said. “It was a good move for us. We did a lot better this week.”

Pinkston said his team came out a little sluggish.

“They definitely stepped it up in the second quarter,” he said.

Looking ahead to county rival Brantley next week, Pinkston said they’d need to have a great week of practice.

“(Brantley’s) good,” he said.
