32 yards. WR El-Amin Greer ended his night with two catches for 24 yards, and WR Deshun Dickerson caught a pass for 26 yards. RB Damian Henderson finished with three carries for 21 yards.

DEFENSIVE STANDOUTS: DT K.D. Shears collected 13 total tackles, one sack and one forced fumble for L-E. LB Cedric Dickerson led the Leopards defensivel­y with 16 tackles. DT Isaiah Josh was also noted for his play on the defensive line.

COACH STEVE WELL’S COMMENTS: “We have some question marks within our offensive line. We have some things we need to be better at and also be a little more consistent. We move the ball at times, but we just didn’t have the consistenc­y.

“We had too many busted plays offensivel­y in the first half. Those are things that hopefully we can correct after we watch it on film.

“The thing I told our kids after the game was that our effort was there. I can live with the kind of effort we have. We keep playing defense like that, I know we’ll get it going offensivel­y. We just need to believe in ourselves and believe in each other. Things will work out for us. Like I told our kids, this isn’t a dash, this is a marathon. We’ll work on getting better each week so we can add the depth we need. I think we’ll be fine before it’s all over.

“Hats off to Arkansas High. They have a very good football team.”
