Quitman shook off two deficits as quarterback Aaron Parker hooked up with Cody Easter for a pair of 40-yard touchdown strikes, leading the Bulldogs past the Mountain View Yellowjackets 18-12 on Tuesday in 7-on-7 action at Panther Stadium.
The ‘Jackets struck first, driving 40 yards in five plays for a touchdown. After Preston Callahan made an 11-yard reception over the middle, Chase Stewart provided tight coverage, which forced a critical third and four.
Lance Moore caught a low pass from Tyler Callahan as the ‘Jackets moved the chains then fullback Harley Askew turned a swing pass into three yards. On second down, Callahan lofted a pass to John Fuller, who made the catch in the back, left corner of the end zone for a 16-yard touchdown. The one-point conversion attempt failed, leaving Mountain View with a 6-0 advantage.
Quitman went three and out on its first offensive attempt but the Bulldogs’ defense stiffened as Hunter Bridges provided tight coverage, forcing an incomplete pass on first down. Lance Moore caught a pass from Callahan for 14 yards on second down but facing third and short, Johnny Green came up with an interception on a pass that was deflected high into the air.
Green’s pick pulled the Bulldogs within four and the offense quickly took advantage when Parker hooked up with Cody Easter on a post route for a 40-yard touchdown with 16 minutes left in the game. Parker made a precise pass to Easter on an out route for two more on the conversion, pushing Quitman’s lead to 10-6.
Mountain View started strong on its next series as Riley Gallaway made two consecutive grabs for a net of 20 yards but the Bulldogs held tight as Jeremiah Johnson broke up a pass and Green kept his man from getting open on third down as Quitman took control of the pigskin.
The Bulldogs only managed a five-yard reception from Dakota Bohannan on their next drive then Mountain View reclaimed the lead with a six-play scoring drive. After Easter broke up a pass, Callahan hit Fuller near the sticks for 16 yards.
Kevin Peterson broke up Callahan’s next pass and the Bulldogs’ forced a five-second count sack but the ‘Jackets caught a break on a pass-interference call, which gave them a first down at the Quitman 10-yard line.
On first down, Callahan lobbed to Gallaway in the back, right corner of the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown as the ‘Jackets pulled back in front, 12-10. Johnson provided tight coverage over the middle on the two-point conversion try, forcing a high throw.
With less than six minutes remaining Quitman needed a score and wasted very little time.
On the first play from scrimmage, Parker found Easter streaking down the middle on a post route and the receiver hauled in the catch for a 40-yard touchdown. After the pair hooked up for their second score, Parker hit Peterson with a swing pass and he did the rest by shaking a defender and diving across the plane of the goal line for two more points.
With Quitman leading 18-12 and the time running under three minutes, Mountain View needed a quick score as Callahan fired incomplete before hooking up with Fuller twice for a net of 20 yards.
On first and 10, Johnson deflected a pass over the left side then Bohannan knocked down Callahan’s second down slant, leaving Mountain View with one more gasp. On the final play, Callahan passed toward the sideline but his intended receiver slipped as the ball skipped at the 2-yard line and out-of-bounds.
