Rams dominate Hogs in Texarkana
TEXARKANA — Penalties and a stingy Lakeside defense played spoilers to Arkansas High’s homecoming on Friday night as the Razorbacks lost 31-7 to drop their third straight 5A-south conference game.
Lakeside (2-4, 1-2) scored in each quarter and outgained the Hogs, 400-149, on offense.
The Rams got on the board early in the first quarter after Chance Cross intercepted a pass to help set up a 26-yard score when quarterback Jordan Mills found Brock Garner to take the early 7-0 lead. Running back Braylen Russell put Lakeside up, 14-0, at the end of the first quarter with a 1-yard score.
Mills finished the game 16-of-29 passing for 253 yards and three scores, and Chase Cross and Russell teamed up for 110 yards rushing.
Arkansas High (1-4, 0-3) had a chance to answer back on its next possession, but backto-back fumbles and penalties forced a punt on fourth-and-26 in Lakeside territory. On their next drive, the Razorbacks fumbled again, resulting in another Rams’ score, where Mills found Kyler Wolf on a 60-yard catch-and-run.
Lakeside eventually went up 31-0 on a 33-yard field goal by Andrew Degrasse and a 29-yard reception by Chase Cross before the Razorbacks would find the end zone with a 9-yard run by Logan Williams late in the fourth quarter.
Layton Lammers completed 6 of 24 passes for 73 yards and an interception for the Razorbacks. Kyron Young had a team-high 44 yards rushing on seven attempts and Marjaevion Cummings added 15 yards on eight tries.
