Cleburne 39-Crossville 3

Cleburne County came to play Crossville, Friday night.  The Crossville Lions was hoping for their first season win.  Cleburne County wasn’t having it.

The Crossville Lions got first possession of the ball but did not get to hold on to it, very long.  The Cleburne County Tigers took possession on the 29-yard line and seven plays later, they scored on a 34-yard touchdown pass.

The next series of plays were not any better for the Crossville Lions.  They could not score and were forced to hand over the ball resulting in yet another Cleburne County touchdown with less than 5:00 left in the half.

Cleburne kept adding up the numbers on the scoreboard the rest of the game.  Kicker, Ronaldo Jimenez, helped avoid the Crossville shutout with his field goal with less than :48 remaining in the ballgame.

Final Score was Cleburne County 39, Crossville 3.

Crossville will host Sand Rock for their Homecoming, Friday night.
