The
Carl
Junction
Bulldogs
used
five
touchdowns
from
Aaron
Moore,
three
interceptions
and
two
fumble
recoveries
en
route
to a
44-20
victory
on
senior
night
over
the
McDonald
County
Mustangs.
“I
thought
that
our
offense
played
well,”
coach
Jesse
Wall
said.
“Except
for
some
penalties
in
the
second
half,
our
offensive
line
played
real
well,
controlled
the
ball
a
lot
of
the
time,
moved
the
ball
effectively,
did
what
we
wanted
to
do.”
On a
second
down-and-5
play
on
the
game’s
opening
drive,
Moore
scored
on
an
18-yard
run
to
give
the
Bulldogs
a
7-0
lead.
The
Mustangs
marched
into
Bulldog
territory
on
their
ensuing
drive
but
fell
a
yard
short
of a
first
down
on a
fourth-and-3
play
at
the
21.
Moore
ripped
off
a
52-yard
touchdown
run
for
his
second
score
with
seven
minutes
left
in
the
second
quarter,
and
the
Bulldogs
converted
the
2-point
conversion
for
a
15-0
lead.
Then
after
an
interception,
Keegan
Pittman
hit
Moore
with
an
eight-yard
touchdown
pass
with
55
seconds
left
to
give
Carl
Junction
a
23-0
halftime
lead.
The
Bulldogs
recovered
a
fumble
at
the
McDonald
County
21
on
the
Mustangs’
first
drive
of
the
second
half,
and
on
the
next
play,
Moore
scored
for
the
fourth
time
to
give
the
Bulldogs
a
30-0
lead.
McDonald
County
got
on
the
scoreboard
on
Jantsen
Lynn’s
nine-yard
run,
and
Cody
Hobbs
passed
to
Chance
Buttram
for
the
2-point
conversion.
The
Mustangs
threatened
again
on
their
next
drive,
but
it
ended
on
Chase
Marrs’
interception
at
the
2-yard
line.
“Defensively
we
played
great
as
well,”
Wall
said.
“We’ve
been
talking
to
our
kids
all
season
about
how
we’ve
played
a
half
but
not
ever
played
a
full
game
yet,
and
we
felt
like
we
played
a
full
game
tonight.”
Moore
scored
his
final
touchdown
when
he
took
the
ball
98
yards
to
give
Carl
Junction
a
37-8
advantage
in
the
early
stages
of
the
fourth
quarter.
