After a one-sided game in the first game of the Browning Bowl, Madisonville-North Hopkins and Caldwell County gave fans an exciting back-and-forth first half on Saturday night at Badgett Athletic Complex.
The Maroon offense shined both in the running game and passing attack, and at the time of press, North led 27-9 midway through the second quarter.
Despite kicking off to begin the game, the Maroons scored within the first minute of play.
A Caldwell County fumble set up the one-play scoring drive.
After the fumble recovery, North’s offense took the field and scored on its first play. Senior quarterback Matt Levin dropped back and found Isiah White over the middle for the touchdown reception.
Just 43 seconds into the game, North held a 7-0 advantage.
After a Caldwell County safety closed the margin to 7-2, the Tigers inherited the ball via a North punt and put together its first scoring drive of the night.
The Tigers marched 38 yards in just under two minutes to move ahead 9-7. Brandon Sigler’s 14-yard TD reception capped the drive.
The Maroons scored on their ensuing drive, marching 80 yards to regain the lead.
Ryan Robinson began the drive with a 23-yard rush.
The big play of the drive came when Levin connected with wide receiver L.G. Gregory on a 29-yard pass play. Eight plays later, Levin found receiver Joe Kington on a fade route to the corner for a 9-yard touchdown reception.
The play was the first of the second quarter and North led 13-9.
Later in the second quarter, running back Chris Scisney scored to give the Maroons a 20-9 lead.
