Coming off a win at home against Brighton last week, Dyersburg picked up its second win in a row and had an early night of it as the Trojans picked up a win in Camden, 21-0, after lightning caused the game to be cancelled during the second quarter.

A pair of Quincy Jones touchdowns put the Trojans up 14-0 at the end of the first quarter then Logston Morgan tacked on a touchdown from one-yard out during the early stages of the second frame. Elian Gonzalez was a perfect 3-for-3 on extra points.

With just under nine minutes left in the half, lightning caused the game to be cancelled and the Trojans declared the winners.

Terry led the way on the ground for Dyersburg with 100 yards on seven carries with two touchdowns.

Dyersburg had 176 yards on the ground during just over a quarter of action.

Dyersburg returns to action next Friday when the Trojans travel to McNairy Central at 7 p.m. in Selmer.

  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." Trailing by nine at the break, the Trojans cut it to eight early in the second half but a three-pointer from Haywood put the Tomcats back up 35-24 with just over seven minutes left in the frame. 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...
