Takeaways, big plays lead Indians to win over Coahoma

CLARKSDALE, Miss. – The Indians capitalized on big plays on its way to a 37-14 road win over Coahoma Community College.

The Indians (5-1, 3-0 MACCC North) took a 7-0 advantage before the offense took its first snap of the night. Jordan Johnson (Coldwater) picked off a pass and returned it 62 yards for a touchdown. Eli Burciaga (Corinth) drilled a 44-yard field goal to give the Indians a 10-0 advantage with 3:55 left in the first quarter.

Coahoma (0-6, 0-4 MACCC) made it a 10-7 game with less than a minute left in the first quarter when they returned a fumble 21 yards for a touchdown.

ICC answered with a 76-yard scoring toss from Ty Davis (Fulton) to Chris Reed (Orlando, FL) to take a 17-7 lead with 8:45 left until halftime. Burciaga tacked on a 24-yard field goal before Zae Dilworth (Nettleton) capped off the impressive first half with a 62-yard interception return for a touchdown to give the Indians a 27-7 lead at the break.

Davis found Tyran Mosley (Kosciusko) for a 55-yard touchdown pass in the opening seconds of the third quarter and Burciaga added a 27-yard field goal to make it 37-7 in favor of the Indians.

Burciaga finished the night three-for-three on field goals and four-for-four on extra points.

The Tigers scored on a 1-yard dive into the end zone with 5:23 left in the game.
