ARITON - Explosive plays on offense and a rock-solid defense for three quarters helped No. 5 ranked Ariton to a big lead and the Purple Cats cruised in for a
David Mundee 34-18 win over No. 2 ranked G.W. Long in a Class 2A showdown at Ariton’s Robert F. Zumstein Memorial Stadium Friday night.
“We have to finish,” Ariton head coach Steven Kilcrease said. “I didn’t like the way we ended the game, but you have to credit them as they didn’t quit. On the first play of Ariton’s second series, quarterback Ian Senn took an option to the right, got to the sideline and raced 59 yards for a touchdown. The Rebels’ blocked the point after kick and it was 6-0 Purple Cats with 6:13 to go in the opening quarter.
“We knew they would key in on Jordan and play him sort of up the middle,” Kilcrease said. “Ian got us in good pitch situation to Matt. The same thing happened on Ian’s long score. It was an option and he was able to get it out on the edge.” The Purple Cats pushed their lead to 20-0 midway in the third quarter after a fumbled punt snap by Long was recovered by Hobie Peavy at the Rebel 49. Smith, who had only 32 yards rushing in the first half on just six carries, cashed in the recovery with the Purple Cats’ fourth explosive play of the night, a 40-yard scoring run with 4:11 to go in the third to make it a 20-point advantage.
