Airline quarterback Ben Taylor’s big passing game in a 60-35 District 1-5A win over Benton has him back on top of local and state passing leaders after four weeks.
Taylor, the only Airline signal caller to pass for more than 400 yards in a game, did it for the second time this season with 471 yards, his third 400-yard output in his career. Taylor hit on 18-of-24 passes and seven touchdowns – all before halftime — as the Vikings ran their regular season win streak to 11 games dating back to last season’s last seven games.
Evangel senior receiver Parker Fulghum also had a big game with 6 catches for 252 yards in the Eagles’ 49-0 defeat of Bossier in a District 1-4A opener. Fulghum’s effort gave him 30 catches, along with Airline receiver Jarvis Davis, to lead the area in receptions. It was Fulghum’s second 200-yard game to give him an area-leading 641 yards and eight touchdowns.
Captain Shreve running back Jamarlon Otis’ 66-yard run that propelled the Gators to a win over rival Byrd left him with 190 yards on the night and an area-best 745 yards and nine touchdowns. Benton’s Greg Manning is second behind Otis with 546 yards and now has just over 3,000 for his career.
