 Concord opened South Piedmont Conference play last night with a 49-28 victory over Piedmont.
The Spiders took the opening kickoff and drove the length of the field with the drive capped off by a short Roger Smith touchdown run. Piedmont answered with an 80 yard kickoff return to tie the game. The defenses exchanged turnovers including a fake punt which was stopped by the Concord defense. Later in the 1st quarter Concord would take the lead on another Roger Smith touchdown run. Piedmont would add another solid drive and tied the score at 14-14 after a short touchdown run.
Concord started the 2nd quarter with a long drive capped by another Roger Smith touchdown run. After the Concord defense recovered a fumble the Spiders marched to another score on Brandon Phillips 3 yard touchdown. On the ensuing drive Concord linebacker Zach Shue picked off a Piedmont pass. Concord again marched down the field featuring passes to Will Cowan and Jared Nash and the running of Smith and Phillips. Roger Smith struck again this time from 16 yards out to put the Spiders up 35-14. The Spider defense closed out the half with a blocked punt and the half ended with a 35-14 Concord lead.
Early in the 3rd quarter Roger Smith added his 5th touchdown of the night on an 11 yard touchdown pass from Sean Willix. Piedmont added two 4th quarter touchdowns before Sean Willix found Will Cowan for a 50 yard touchdown strike.
Jalen Brown led the Concord defense with 8 tackles. Roger Smith and Zach Shue added interception. Welsey Brown blocked a field goal and a punt.
Sean Willix finished 14-21 for 220 yards with 2 touchdowns. Roger Smith finished with 191 yards on 23 carries with 5 total touchdowns. Brandon Phillips added 75 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries.
Concord will hit the road again next week traveling to Harrisburg to face the Hickory Ridge Ragin’ Bulls. The Bulls are coached by former Concord player Marty Paxton.
