Taylor’s 4 TDs lead Newton past Tucker
Newton head coach Terrance Banks, stood tall
tucked away in the corner of Adams Stadium in his
khaki slacks, Newton blue collar shirt with a black
long sleeve shirt under it and white headphones in
his ears. Still over an hour until game time, it was
calm on a damp Friday evening.
The game was anything but.
“This the boys’ moment,” Banks said when asked
what he was thinking in that moment an hour
before kickoff. “This is their moment. It was their
night and they were about to do what nobody
outside of Covington thought they could.”
Banks was animated on the field 30 minutes later
before the game – headphones still in – pumping
his fists and high stepping. He was pumped. And
then the game started and Banks’ demeanor
must’ve carried over to his players.
Hampered by three penalties on its
first drive, Newton was still able to
score three points with a field goal
after gains of 18, twice and a 22yard run by Augustus Murray to get inside the Tucker fiveyard line.
The Rams kicked off to Tucker and it was returned to the Tucker 27yard line, but two plays later
Newton senior defensive back Quentin Dixon – who had a terrific game recovered a Tiger fumble at the
Tucker 20yard line. Newton running back Kurt Taylor would run it in for a Rams touchdown from 15
yards out to give the Rams a 97 lead after a failed twopoint conversion.
The Tigers weren’t phased by Newton’s early momentum as they marched down the field with their
patented wingt rushing attack and scored on a sixyard run after seven plays to knock seven points off
Newton’s previous ninepoint lead.
