McIntosh traveled

to Fayette County High School last Friday in hopes of spoiling the Tigers'

homecoming game, but Fayette County prevailed 23-14.

The Chiefs

took an early 3-0 lead when Robert Huefner kicked a 22-yard field goal

but the Chiefs would not score again until the fourth quarter.

Fayette County

(2-5) got an interception from George Harkness with about three minutes

to go in the first quarter which set up a touchdown. Quarterback Jeff

Crisp connected with Steven West with a nine-yard touchdown pass to give

Fayette County the lead. Crisp and West would conect again less than a

minute later after McItosh fumbled the ball on the second play of their

ensuing drive. The Tigers made it 17-3 at the half with a 40 yard field

goal from Rick Deraney.

The score remained

the same in the second half until Huefner kicked a 48-yard field goal

early in the fourth quarter. Fayette responded with about five minutes

to go in the game when Crisp connected with David Roberson with a touchdown

pass. The Tigers did not convert the extra point attempt and had a 23-6

lead. McIntosh scored after Cameron Hall made a 60-yard reception setting

up a four yard touchdown run by Cortez Phillips. The Chiefs defense forced

Fayette County to punt on its next drive but the offense could not establish

a drive.

Columbus Memorial Stadium tomorrow to take on Carver, Columbus (3-3).
