The York Institute Dragons were probably one of the most dangerous winless teams in the state heading into week number five of the high school football season Friday night. In a game against the Cannon County Lions that was pretty much decided in the first half, they are now no longer winless. The Dragons scored on every offensive possession it got in the first half, The tone of the game was set on a 4th and 14 in the first series as York threw a flea flicker and found paydirt to go up 7-0. York would lead at the end of quarter 1 13-0. The Dragons would add three more touchdowns on their homecoming night to lead at the half 33-0. In the second half, the Lions went four and out in their first possession of the third quarter, however a high snap on 4th down in the end zone led to a safety as York would continue to lead 35-0. Fourth quarter York would continue running up the score with their second string in the game. One more rushing touchdown with the clock continually running in the final quarter would give York the 49-0 victory. Cannon County only gained a total of 57 yards in the game with zero yards passing. York would end up with 309 yards of total offense.
Cannon County’s next game will be Friday on the road to Baxter when they meet Upperman.
