Bobcats roll past Hackleburg, 50-27

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS/BART MOSSQuarterback Hayston Scott tries to get away from Hackleburg defender. Scott carried 19 times for 206 yards and 1 touchdown in the win. On paper, a 23-point margin suggests a comfortable victory, but the final score of 50-27 hardly did justice to just how thoroughly the Phil Campbell Bobcats dominated the Hackleburg Panthers.Closing out the regular season with their seventh consecutive victory, the Bobcats bullied Hackleburg up front, unleashing a punishing ground game that racked up 442 yards on 55 carries while holding the Panthers to 336 total yards.Yet Phil Campbell’s path to victory was largely self-directed. The Bobcats gift-wrapped multiple opportunities to Hackleburg, including a failed opening-kickoff onside kick that gave the Panthers a short field to start the game. That was followed by a botched second-half kickoff that Hackleburg scooped up and returned for a touchdown.
