September 26, 2016 – The Lovelady Lions varsity football team shut out the Timpson Bears by a 27-0 score. The Bears loss came at home, at John Herbert Eakin Stadium, last Friday. Lovelady had a 14-0 lead by the conclusion of the first period and held the Bears to 12 yards of offense on their first three possessions.
Penalties, interceptions, and fumbles, which caused the Bears to fall on the football in their own backfield, resulted in negative yardage, costing the Bears any chance they had to claw their way back into the football game.
Devon Hammock kicked two second quarter field goals, from 19 and 20-yards out, to give the Lions a 20-0 lead at the midway break.
Lions’ receiver Lee Holsey caught an 11-yard touchdown with 7:11 left in the contest for the game’s final score.
The Bears were 3/11 passing, for four net yards, and had two interceptions. Lovelady was 5/19 passing for 98 yards. Timpson rushed for 93 yards on the night and had 97 total offensive yards gained. The Lions rushed for 158 yards and had 256 total yards of offense. LHS had ten first downs. Timpson gained seven first downs. Lovelady had 40 yards of penalties, while Timpson amassed 63 yards.
Timpson is now 2-2 and they have an open week for this Friday. THS will next play the Wortham Bulldogs, at JH Eakin Stadium in Timpson, on October 7, at 7 p.m. This game will begin District 11 2A play for both teams.
District 11 has several teams with similar records who will be competing for four conference playoff positions. Timpson and the Grapeland Sandies each have a 2-2 record.

The game was tied at zero at the end of the first quarter with Hemphill having possession of the ball for approximately two-thirds of the time and the Dragon defense holding strong. With 10:16 on the clock in the second quarter Shelbyville's Terrell Cartwright #9 scored a touchdown giving the Dragons the lead and the only score in the first half of the game.
With 7:48 remaining in the 3rd quarter, CJ Kirkwood #4 ran the ball into the end zone bringing the Dragons' lead to 13-0 after the extra point attempt failed to reach its mark. Seconds later Hemphill had possession of the ball yet fumbled it on the 19-yard-line and the Dragons were able to gain possession of the ball, putting them once again in scoring position. The Hornet's defense held the offensive line forcing a field goal attempt which was unsuccessful.
An attempted pass to Hemphill's Logan Leone #30 for a touchdown was incomplete near the end of the 3rd quarter. The Hornets tried again with a pass to Tommy Williams #16 who caught the ball and ran it in for a touchdown with 1:13 left in the quarter. The Hornets tried for a two-point conversion but failed to get into the end zone and the 3rd quarter ended with the Dragons in the lead, 13-6.
