Todd County made the big plays early, established their run game, and held off a huge game from Hopkins County Central quarterback Adrian Stringer to beat the Storm 60-34 Friday at Rebel Stadium. The 60-point outburst was the most a Rebel team had scored since a 59-8 win over Caverna in 2004.

The Storm answered with a touchdown to cut the deficit to 13-7 with 7:39 left. Todd pushed it back out to two touchdowns when Kimahri Briggs took the ensuing kickoff back 75 yards for a touchdown.

Todd County led 28-14 at halftime and scored the first touchdown of the third quarter when Graham scored from three yards out.

Todd County converted a field goal in the first minute of the fourth quarter to round out the scoring. Stringer hit on a couple of long touchdowns for Hopkins County Central with the game out of hand.

Stringer finished 28-of-46 passing for 436 yards and five touchdowns for the Storm (0-4). Blasin Moore had 12 catches for 237 yards and five scores, while Jaxon Winn added seven catches for 142 yards.
