After setting the tone with a trio of scores in the first quarter, Three Oaks opened their 2025 season with a 30-0 win over visiting Halls on Tuesday night at Three Oaks.

Special teams made the first big play of the season after the Choctaw defense forced the Tigers to punt. Halls narrowly got the punt off and the ball bounced over by the Three Oaks sideline. Carsyn Scott ran in and scooped the ball up then returned it 55 yards for the touchdown. Zay Bowen added the two-point conversion to put Three Oaks on top 8-0 with 6:05 left in the opening frame.


The Three Oaks defense again held the Tigers in check and, this time, got the Halls punt blocked with Bowen coming up with the block. Three Oaks got the ball near the goal line then punched it in on a three-yard run from Bowen. Kaii Wallace added the two-point conversion to give the Choctaws a 14-0 lead with 4:21 left in the first frame.

The Choctaws picked up one more score later in the first on a ten-yard run from Bowen with 18 seconds left. The two-point conversion came up short, leaving the Three Oaks lead at 22-0.

After a scoreless second quarter, the Choctaws got on the board in the third frame with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Brylan Hatch to Nason Dycus with 3:46 left in the quarter. Hatch then hit Scott for the two-point conversion to put Three Oaks on top 30-0.

The clock ran through the fourth quarter as the Choctaws picked up the win.

Three Oaks has a quick turnaround as the Choctaws travel to West Bemis on Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

  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...
