It was lights out for Academy (figuratively and literally) as Salado beat the visiting Bees 52-21 in the Eagles' first home game of the season tonight.
The northern lights on the home side went out near the end of the half thanks to some kid who sent Salado maintenance staff scrambling by tripping a breaker or switch on the pole.
By that time, the Eagles had a commanding 28-7 lead over the Bees.
The Bees scored on their first drive, but would not score again until a couple of meaningless touchdowns late in the fourth.In the red zone, with their backs to the wall, Troy’s Sam Jones stripped Salado’s Wrook Brown of the ball and returned it 95 yards for a touchdown with 47 seconds remaining in the football season opener tonight.
Brown was bouncing his way toward a first and goal when Jones took the ball from him and ran the length of the field. His touchdown and the point-after kick gave Troy a 28-14 lead that was built on big plays throughout the game.
