Dyersburg picked up the win in the first game of the day as JP Noblin tossed four innings of no-hit ball and was rewarded with plenty of run support in the win.

The Trojans got on the board in the bottom of the first with a two-run triple by Alex Page to get the lead early. Page’s courtesy runner, Ty Seaton, scored moments later on a passed ball. Later in the inning, Logan Cohen singled in two runs then Evan Thompson plated another with a double.

After Cohen scored on a wild pitch and Thompson crossed after passed ball, Page got his second extra base hit of the inning with an RBI double to put the Trojans up 9-0 after one inning.

In the bottom of the second inning, Thompson singled in a run then Bo Young plated another run by getting hit by a pitch to put the Trojans up 11-0 after two frames.

Two innings later, the Trojans put the Tomcats away. Cohen singled then scored on a passed ball. Young scored later in the inning on a passed ball. Noblin, after four innings of no-hit ball on the mound, brought the game to a close as his single led to the final two runs of the game to bring the mercy rule into play.

Noblin had a double and two singles to help his cause on the mound while Page added a triple and a double to the mix.

Noblin struck out eight of the 14 batters he face, accounting for two-thirds of the outs on the day.

Dyersburg 16, Haywood 0

After the Trojans didn’t allow the Tomcats to score during the second game as well, a nine-run fourth inning proved to be the end of things on Tuesday to enforce the mercy rule for the second straight game.

Dyersburg got on the board in the bottom of the first with a Brett Horner RBI single to put the Trojan lead at a run. Later in the inning, Will Leonard reached on an error to score a run and put the Trojan lead at 2-0 after one inning.

The Trojans doubled their lead in the bottom of the second inning. Thompson’s double scored a run then Horner singled him in to put Dyersburg on top 4-0 after two innings.

Back-to-back singles from Noblin and Ryan Wesson put two on for the Trojans in the bottom of the third. Aiden Chandler reached on an error to score a run then Cohen singled in two later in the inning to put Dyersburg on top 7-0 after three frames.

The Trojan offense erupted in the bottom of the fourth. Leonard was hit by a pitch and scored later in the inning on a passed ball then Noblin also scored on a passed ball before Wesson also scored on a passed ball to put the Trojans up ten runs.

Cohen singled in a run moments later then Jayce Ellerbrook walked later in the frame with the bases loaded to plate a run. Page singled in another run which lead to a bases-clearing triple which ended the game via mercy rule.

Chandler picked up the win on the mound, allowing just two hits on the day with a strikeout in three innings of work.

Thompson led the way for the Trojans at the plate with a double and a single and one run batted in. Horner and Cohen each had two singles for Dyersburg in the win.

Dyersburg returns to District 13-3A action on Monday when the Trojans host Crockett County at 6:30 p.m.

  Jason Peevyhouse Editor, JP Productions Sports With the fanbases from both local schools in attendance and supporting their favorite teams, Dyer County rallied from a seven-point halftime deficit to score twice in the third quarter. But, a late touchdown by the Trojans forced overtime where a special teams became the most important part of the game as the Choctaws blocked Dyersburg’s extra point attempt then were able to score and sophomore DC kicker Jotham Powell hit a PAT for the 35-34 win to open the season. The game marked the first career win for new Dyer County Head Coach Justin Dubruiel.

On the ensuing punt, Choctaw juni...

  Jason Peevyhouse JP Productions Sports Thanks to a stellar second half which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 45-23, the Dyersburg boys will play for a region championship for the first time since 2004 after the black and gold’s 68-55 win over the Tomcats on Tuesday night in Newbern. "I think our kids were extremely engaged from the tip," Dyersburg Head Coach Blaine Mahaffey said. "I thought we rebounded well all night.  "And then, in the second half, when we were able to play a little bit better offensively, I think it showed up more."

Dyersburg went on a tear after a Breyden Turnage bucket was followed by a layup from AJ Higgins. This opened up four-minute stretch which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 19-3 and was capped by a Jeff Cobb three-point play and tw...
