Paetow Panthers Derrick Johnson rushes against Tompkins Falcons Josh Davis in the first half of a District 19-6A game at Rhodes Stadium on November 4, 2022 in Katy.Assured of its own postseason berth, the Tompkins football team could affect the seasons of two teams Friday at Rhodes Stadium.
"We just came out fire," Tompkins senior receiver Matthew Ogunrin said."We really wanted to make a statement, more important just do our jobs. We have the plan and we have the players. We just wanted to go execute it."Tompkins scored on its opening drive, sparked by a 31-yard catch and run by Noah Coughran. On third and 11, Ogunrin made a catch in coverage in the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown less than three minutes into the game.
Tompkins made it 14-7 on its next drive, scoring with five seconds left in the first quarter as Wyatt Young sprinted 24 yards on an option keeper. Paetow reached Tompkins territory on a 22-yard keeper by Derrick Johnson, but a fumble four plays later was recovered by Sampson Okorafor. Tompkins took the 21-7 lead into halftime.
"It's all about balance," Young said."If we balance our offense really well they never know what we're going to do. We can catch them off guard a little bit, hit them downfield. We can do anything with this offense."
