SUMMERTOWN \u2013<\/strong> That storybook \u2018student one-ups teacher\u2019 scenario? Bobby Sharp wasn\u2019t having any of it Friday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lewis County\u2019s Hall of Fame coach looked across the field and saw one of the best he\u2019d had \u2013 Dakota Crews, the only Panther player to ever earn TSSAA Mr. Football honors when he did so in 2007 \u2013 along the Summertown sideline as the Eagles\u2019 first-year defensive coordinator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then he proceeded to direct an offense that rolled up 398 yards, including 373 on 43 rushing attempts, as his team rolled to a 42-21 Region 5-2A road victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t match wits with Coach Sharp,\u201d Crews said after his team sustained its second straight loss and its first in league play, falling to 3-2 (0-1). \u201cHe\u2019s been one of the top coaches in the state for 35 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like the old karate movie, trying to catch the grasshopper. Coach Sharp is who he is. He\u2019s going to do what he does. Either you stop it or you don\u2019t. We didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crews is hardly the first to feel the frustration of trying to slow down the Lewis County Wing-T attack. But after seeing it from the Panthers\u2019 sideline, before spending the past two years on fellow ex-Panther Kevin Creasy\u2019s staff at Oakland, he created more problems for Sharp and his current staff that the numbers may indicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had to change all our signals,\u201d Sharp said following the matchup of Associated Press top 10 teams \u2013 Lewis County came in ranked No. 3, the Eagles No. 9. \u201cWe screwed up a few times. He did a really good job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turnovers aided both squads early, as the visitors turned back Summertown\u2019s first drive of the night in the red zone \u2013 forcing a Javen Edmiston fumble at the end of a 10-yard reception \u2013 and went 89 yards on 10 rushes before Lincoln Brewer scored the first of his two touchdowns for an 8-0 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagles punted on their next possession, and Lewis County looked primed to extend the margin before Edmiston recovered a red zone fumble along his sideline and returned it 88 yards to put Summertown on the scoreboard. Edmiston then caught a Colton Shaffer two-point pass to tie the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A long Blake Carroll kickoff return set up a short scoring drive, as Carroll and Kael Feichtinger hooked up for a 14-yard score and a 15-8 Panther lead midway through the second period that held up into halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, it was virtually all Lewis County. The visitors scored each of their four possessions to open the second half. Fullback Ethan McCann accounted for two of those TDs on the way to a 97-yard performance in support of Carroll\u2019s 148-yard effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been fortunate,\u201d Sharp said. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of big kids up front, and we get in that unbalanced T and those big guys start leaning on folks. It wears you out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crews and Summertown coach Leslie Mote can attest. Shaffer scored from 11 yards out with 4:19 remaining in the third quarter to make it a 22-14 game, but the Eagle defense couldn\u2019t get enough stops for the offense to close the gap any further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey just whipped us up front, on both sides of the ball,\u201d Mote said. \u201cWhat they do, they do well. I\u2019d said before the game, \u20181\u2019 (Carroll) is a pretty good player, \u201821\u2019 (McCann) is pretty good, they threw when they had to. It just wasn\u2019t our night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Lewis County, the win avenged a 21-14 loss to the visiting Eagles a year ago \u2013 a defeat that helped keep them from their typical spot atop the Region 5-2A standings at season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a big win for us,\u201d Sharp admitted. \u201cWhoever won was going to have an advantage in the region, though we\u2019ve still got to play some good football teams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
