FOOTBALL: Third quarter disaster for Salem A nine-minute stretch in the third quarter spelled trouble for comeback-hopeful Salem Saturday afternoon in an SCA game at home against Ava. The Tigers threw interceptions on three straight possessions, then fumbled the ball away, then turned it over on downs in a 38-0 loss. Salem trailed 12-0 before the horrendous stretch of football, when the Bears scored 19 points. Two of the interceptions were returned for touchdowns by Ava's Quincey McDonald, the second giving the Bears a 31-0 advantage with four minutes, 35 seconds left in the third quarter. The game, held during Salem High School Alumni Reunion Weekend, was postponed Friday night due to lightning and heavy rain.
Salem's offense never really threatened to score in the game, as Ava's defense completely dominated. The Tigers dropped to 3-2 after winning three straight games to open the season. Ava improved to 3-2.
Next up for Salem, 1-2 in the SCA, is a conference game Friday at Willow Springs.
