Youth football games played October 6-8
Recent youth football games reported by the 12U Bartow County Panthers, the Bartow County Parks and Recreation Department, and the Cartersville Parks and Recreation Department for October 6-8.
The 12U Bartow County Panthers defeated the Cane Ridge Chargers Sunday afternoon, 21-0. The Chargers are one of the top 12U teams from Nashville, Tennessee and the game was played in Chattanooga as part of the Craddock Classic.
Under the Classic’s rules the game was played with a running clock, limiting the number of plays run by each team. “We came out clicking on all cylinders,” said Panthers coach Josh McWhorter. “For the low number of plays, our passing game looked tremendous. Brodie (McWhorter) is now reading coverages and we’re spreading the ball around and our athletes are turning these catches into huge momentum plays.”
The Panthers gained 28 yards rushing on just six attempts with a pair of touchdowns. They also threw for 143 yards on just seven plays with a touchdown. All four pass completions went to different receivers.
Isaiah Livsey ran for 23 yards on two carries and scored one extra point. Jachai Delgado and Brodie McWhorter both scored on short runs. McWhorter was also 4-for-7 passing for 143 yards and a touchdown.
Talan Nix caught a 15 yards pass and had a two-point play reception. Logan Shrewsbury caught a 68 yard touchdown pass. Keve Porter hauled in a 45 yard catch and Xavier Parker added a 15 yard reception. “Our defense was stout against a huge offensive line and a great back,” noted McWhorter. “They ran a power game right at us, but time and time again the boys from Bartow answered the bell.”
Cane Ridge amassed 79 yards on 28 rushing attempts and had eight first downs, but did not score as the Panthers collected the shutout.
Jacob Ellis collected 5.5 tackles for Bartow County. Kelson Mitchell and Talan Nix had four tackles each. Livsey had 3.5 tackles. Bear McWhorter finished with 2.5 tackles. Delgado contributed a pair of tackles. Baylon Long, Parker, and Cooper Moon had 1.5 tackles each. Shrewsbury, Mason Tompkins, Bryce Wilson, and Porter added 0.5 tackles each. Shrewsbury defended a pass and Porter had a pass break up.
