New York Giants rookies Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo starred as their team defeated reigning Super Bowl champions the Philadelphia Eagles 34-17. Running back Skattebo ran in three straight touchdowns at MetLife Stadium, becoming only the second Giants rookie to achieve the feat.
They were even happier about returning to the win column. Sparked by six second-quarter touchdowns, the Wolves built a big halftime lead and easily dispatched the J.A.G. Jaguars 56-24. The win snapped a three-game losing streak – all region losses to state ranked teams – for the Wolves, who improved to 4-3 overall and 2-3 in Class 7A, Region 2 play.
J.A.G. fell to 1-6 and 0-5. “We had not played at home since Aug. 28 as we have been on the road for six straight weeks with a bye week in there and we got a win,” Dothan head coach Jed Kennedy said. “We will keep working. Our kids are working hard. They believe in what we do. “This is a tough region and any time you get a win, you take it. We will enjoy this through tomorrow then we will get ready for Smiths Station.” People are also reading… Leading the Dothan charge was senior running back A.J. Alexander, who earlier in the day was announced as a member of the Alabama all-stars for the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star game. The North Alabama commitment rushed for four touchdowns and 144 yards on just 11 carries – all in the first half as the Wolves played subs in the second half. He also caught one pass for 35 yards. “He is the best player I’ve ever coached and he is a special kid,” Kennedy said. “We are going to enjoy the heck out of having him for the amount of weeks we have left with him.” Alexander scored the first of his touchdowns on Dothan’s first possession, capping a 3-play, 48-yard drive with a 6-yard scoring run. He sparked the drive with a 38-yard run on the first play. Braddoc Jenkins booted the extra-point kick to make it 7-0 with 9:17 to go in the first quarter. Dothan had a chance to extend the lead after a fumble return following a high snap over the quarterback gave the Wolves the ball at the 35. However, an interception by J.A.G. two plays later ended the drive at the Jaguar 21. After both teams failed to convert on fourth down plays, the Wolves got the offense untracked late in the first quarter. Sparked by a 35-yard Sam Broadway to Alexander pass down the left side, the Wolves moved 65 yards in five plays. On the second play of the second quarter, Broadaway completed a 14-yard pass in the left flat to Daniel George for the touchdown. Johnny Castillo added the PAT kick to make it 14-0. Dothan got the ball right back seconds later on a fumble recovery on the ensuing kickoff. Two plays later, Jordan Rollins raced 38 yards to the end zone and Jenkins’ PAT kick made it 21-0 with 11:18 to go in the half. The Wolves’ defense forced a three-and-out and a punt and Dothan’s offense covered 61 yards in seven plays with Alexander scoring off the right side on a 1-yard run. The drive was sparked by runs of 19 yards by Alexander, 13 yards by Sirathian Meadows and 18 yards by Marcus Reeves.The Jaguars answered with a 10-play, 67-yard scoring drive with the score coming on an 8-yard run by quarterback Kingston Young. A two-point conversion pass attempt was batted away, leaving it 28-6 with 3:09 left. Alexander answered for Dothan in one play – a 61-yard sprint untouched down the left side on the Wolves’ first offensive play after the J.A.G. score. Jenkins did the kicking honors to make it 35-6. The Wolves got the ball back on the first J.A.G. play on the ensuing series with a Kerry Gaitlin Jr. interception and return to the Jaguar 30. Four plays later, Alexander scored on a 1-yard run up the middle after a 20-yard run by Reeves set up the Wolves inside the 10. Castillo made the PAT kick to make it 42-6 with 1:03 left before halftime.J.A.G, behind a 33-yard run by Christian Williams and a 20-yard Young completion, moved 69 yards in five plays with Young throwing a 13-yard TD pass to Marlo Harris with two seconds left in the half. A two-point try failed.Dothan’s Ai’King Hall took the ensuing kickoff 70 plus yards for a touchdown as the horn was going off. Jenkins’ extra point kick made it 49-12 as the teams hit the locker room for the halftime break. The second half was played with a running clock and featured only two possessions for each team with TDs on three of the four. J.A.G. scored on a 36-yard Young to Christian Jackson pass and Dothan scored on a 38-yard run by Bricein Graham, making it 56-18. The Jaguars scored on the game’s final play on a 23-yard TD pass. The extra-point try was not contested. “What I am proud of tonight is every kid that suited up took a snap in that game,” Dothan’s Kennedy said. “That is what I am excited about. Everyone that suited up got to play. We had 93 players step on the field. They all put in the work, whether they are the best player or the worst player, they all put in the work and played tonight.”
