TUSCALOOSA, Alabama --- Since Sunday, the theme surrounding homecoming
activities at Stillman was, "Stillman: Soaring". As the week closed out, indeed
the Tigers needed to soar to put a more than favorable cap on the season.
Following the lead of senior wide receiver Damian Ford, the Tigers downed
Concordia-Selma 28-26 Saturday afternoon at Stillman Stadium.
The senior from Birmingham scored on two pass plays and a punt return as the
Tigers avenged last season's homecoming defeat.
Stillman (6-5) took the opening drive and marched 65 yards on six plays, ending
the drive with a 24-yard pass play from freshman Joshua Straughan to senior
Damian Ford. Concordia would answer with a 12-play, 64-yard drive ending with
quarterback Keith Ray running in from three yards out. The Hornets (5-4) would
score again on a 79-yard pass play from Ray to Jeremy Morris to give Concordia a
12-7 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Late in the second quarter, senior receiver Jamal Rodman scored on a 30-yard
pass and catch to put Stillman in front 14-12. However, the Hornets would get a
late score, a 15-yard pass play from Ray to David Hampton with 19 seconds
remaining in the half. Concordia took a 18-14 lead into the locker room at
halftime.
