Tigers Defeat Rebels On Homecoming


It was a chilly Friday night at Tolsia High School as the Rebels went up against the Class AA No. 8 ranked Chapmanville Tigers.  The Homecoming game began with the Rebels leading 6-0 early in the first quarter.  Jacob Copley had a 34 yard touchdown bomb to Brandon Ward, but unfortunately the extra point kick was blocked.  This still caused much excitement with the crowd.  The Rebels were flying high for a few minutes, but by the second quarter the Tigers scored four touchdowns and led 28-6 at the half. 

The Tigers continued to dominate the second half.  With only thirteen seconds into the third quarter, the Tigers scored putting them up 35-6.  As the clock ticked on, Chapmanville continued to dominate leading 49-6 into the fourth quarter.  The Rebels did score two late touchdowns on Chapmanville’s second-team defense.  The first was a fourteen yard strike from Jacob Copley to Morgan Williamson with 7:36 left in the game.  The second score was a 35-yard pass from Blake Roberts to Brandon Ward.  Wes Waller ran in the two point conversion to make the final score 49-20.  Although the annual homecoming game was spoiled by the Chapmanville Tigers, the events leading into the game were full of excitement and lots of fun.  Hopefully, we’ll get them next year.
