At this time of the year, you better get better or youвЂ™ll be done,вЂќ Rodgers said. That trend doesnвЂ™t appear to be changing now, either. Improving as the season progresses has been a trait in RodgersвЂ™ first two seasons at Jacksboro. While no slouch, Millsap (4-4, 1-2) is coming off a one-point loss to Tolar вЂ“ a team Jacksboro dusted by 41 points the week prior. Next week is a more inviting opportunity at Tiger Stadium. The last time the Tigers had the chance to finish in first place was two years ago, but they lost a late lead to Holliday in the finale on the road. By that time, there were only 14 seconds remaining until Jacksboro could celebrate. Wing finished with 197 passing yards, but 102 of those came on DublinвЂ™s final drive that ended with the senior quarterbackвЂ™s 1-yard TD run. вЂњWeвЂ™d get so far and then something would happen, But we battled вЂ“ and IвЂ™m proud of the kids for doing that.вЂќ We just could never get over the hump,вЂќ Dublin coach Bob Cervetto said. вЂњTheyвЂ™re warriors, they played real hard.

To put one together when it mattered, thatвЂ™s a real big deal.вЂќДublin (6-2, 2-1) certainly had this game circled on its calendar after Jacksboro handed the Lions their first loss of 2018. вЂњWeвЂ™ve had mistakes that have kept us from being able to drive the ball like that. вЂњWe havenвЂ™t always been able to do that this year,вЂќ Rodgers said. There was never a hint of the pigskin piercing the sky, and DavenportвЂ™s 12-yard gain was the longest of the 12 running plays.

His last TD capped off a 12-play, 72-yard drive that chewed up most of the third quarter and was vintage Jacksboro football under Rodgers. Bruising fullback Caleb Helm added 60 yards and a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs. That was a critical score because Dublin had erased almost all of the Tigers' quick 10-0 lead.Дavenport finished with a game-high 61 rushing yards and also picked off Wing late in the second quarter. Jacksboro (5-3, 3-0) never trailed, taking a 17-9 lead into halftime thanks to quarterback Landon DavenportвЂ™s 5-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter. вЂњThe big guys were happy about the weather. вЂњThey depend a lot on their quarterback and youвЂ™ve got to respect who youвЂ™re playing,вЂќ Jacksboro linebacker Luis Ponce said. Justin Loucks and Brayden Roberts were in on multiple sacks and had a hand in fumbles. ItвЂ™s no secret that wet, windy weather is a hinderance to a spread offense, but the biggest factor in Dublin struggling to score was a defensive front that kept Wing scrambling. After Dublin pulled within 10-9 early in the second quarter, the visitors didnвЂ™t find the end zone again until the final seconds. The Tigers forced three turnovers and sacked Dublin quarterback Cy Wing six times, limiting the Lions to only 87 rushing yards.
