Homecoming tonight at Dyersburg

Trojans in non-region bout with Memphis Westwood

By GALE CAVNESS

DYERSBURG - The Dyersburg Trojans will cap a week of homecoming activities at J.C. Sawyers Stadium tonight when they entertain Memphis Westwood.

Pre-game activities, including the introduction of the 2008 homecoming queen and her court, are set to begin at 7 p.m.

Dyersburg, a 49-6 winner last week over visiting Obion County Central, will be trying to post a third consecutive win and claim a victory for the fourth time in five outings this season.

Despite the week-long distraction of homecoming functions at DHS, head coach James Counce is hopeful that his squad will be ready to play football when the teams take the field.

"There'll be a lot of distractions, a lot of things going on other than what we need to focus on," Counce said. "Hopefully, we'll grow up and mature and learn how to handle the distractions."

The Trojans got off to a slow start last week against the visiting Rebels, but broke open a scoreless game with 28 unanswered points in the second quarter.

Four touchdowns by Dyersburg in that one period against Obion County account for more than twice the points Westwood has scored all year. In five games, the winless Longhorns have been outscored 193-18 and been shutout three times.

A Class 2A squad, the Longhorns opened the season with a 49-0 setback to Memphis Fairley before getting whipped 51-12 by Hardin County. They have since dropped a 20-6 contest to Memphis Carver, a 39-0 decision to Horn Lake, MS, and last weeks 34-0 tussle with Memphis Treadwell.

The Trojans got 123 rushing yards and four touchdowns from junior Xavier Taylor in the win over Obion County. Dyersburg also got two scoring strikes from running back-turned-quarterback Jason Click, one to Hamp Hickman and another to Justin Whitfield.

Kyle Youmans turned in another solid night in the kicking game as well, recording a perfect 7-for-7 effort with point-after conversion kicks.

On the other side of the football, the Trojans defense tossed a shutout. Obion County's lone points were the result of a special teams breakdown on a kick off.
