Everybody wearing orange was happy prior to Dyer County's game Friday night against McNairy Central, especially 22-month-old Keaton Hunter. The Choctaws' 38-7 setback soured the mood of the DC faithful, but couldn't spoil the toddler's sweet disposition. The child is the son of Chad and Sally Hunter of Dyersburg.
