“I thought our youth and inexperience showed tonight,” said Coach Jerry Herron, Jr.
Herron saw his team miss several opportunities to match the Bearcats as the Yellow Jackets drove deep into KCD territory, only to be unable to score.
“This was a closer game than the final score showed,” Herron said.
After KCD had marched down the field in the first quarter to go up, 8-0, the Yellow Jackets quickly answered.
Sophomore quarterback Sydney Bowen found senior wide receiver Gavon Thomas on a 58-yard touchdown strike. With the extra point, Williamsburg cut the lead to 8-7.
With just over two minutes remaining in the half, KCD punched in another touchdown run to extend the lead to 14-7.
