VANDALIA – Junior Bobby Bradley scored on a 40-yard touchdown run one play after an interception by sophomore Preston Ruckman for the only scoring in last Friday’s Red/White scrimmage, giving the Red team a 6-0 victory.

Bradley rumbled down the field and scored with 3:44 left in the 20-minute scrimmage for the longest play of the game. He finished with 59 yards on five carries.

Senior Robby Lott tipped one of the 12 passes from senior quarterback Collin Nestleroad, and Ruckman picked off the deflected ball. Lott tipped a pair of passes for the Red team, and junior Luke Tessman intercepted a pass on the final play of the game.

Junior Enrique Jenner had an interception for the White team, and junior Kendrick Woolsey had a sack for the Red team.

The White team won the 25-minute freshman scrimmage, 12-6.

Then, in a 10-minute scrimmage, the varsity White team earned a 6-0 win on a 70-yard touchdown by senior Adam Palmer. The Red team held possession for the first five minutes, and the White was on offense for the final five, despite quickly scoring the touchdown.
