The 11- and 12-year-old Warren County Titans met the 11- and 12-year-old JFL Packers in a much-anticipated scrimmage on Saturday at Nunley Stadium.

The Titans came away with bragging rights by a score of 53-0, but players from both teams are to be commended for displaying good sportsmanship.

Statistics for the Titans included a big day for Jay Hutchins, who rushed for an awesome 335 yards and four touchdowns. Joseph Redmon added 59 yards and a touchdown, Jessie Boyd had 35 yards and a TD, Kevin Rhoady had 18 yards and a touchdown and Ben Parker added five yards.

Defensively, Hutchins led the way with 12 tackles, while Boyd had 10 and scored a defensive touchdown. Jasmine Hall added seven tackles, Aaron Browning, Landy Curtis, Joseph Redmon and Ben Parker had six each, and Jacob Hall and Caleb Northcutt had five. Taylor Bain and Travis Hale had four stops apiece, while Robert Harris, Kevin Rhoady, Steven Nunley, Ethan Turner and Jesus Rivera had three. Joseph Jurek added one tackle.

Although every player is not mentioned, the Titans coaches and staff congratulated them, as well, for a well-played game. The Titans also wished to thank the JFL for its hospitality, and extended an invitation to them for both leagues to get together in the future and possibly work up some more scrimmages in the spirit of good competition.

The Titans will be hosting the Bellevue Steelers at home Saturday, beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the Bobby Ray field. Games will include the 7- and 8-year-olds, 9- and 10-year-olds and 11- and 12-year-olds. Admission is free, and there will be concessions all day. The Titans ask for everyone to come out and support Warren County’s youth as they compete with some of Middle Tennessee’s best young football talent.
