The name is Price, Justin Price Remember it. He is Calhoun's
legitimate
all-state and Friday night he showed why.
How? By scoring six touchdowns in slightly over three quarters of play
to
lead the Red Devils over Ritchie County by a 41-23 margin.
Price (pictured left) had help of course, lots of help. But when
it came time for the Red
Devils to seal the deal they turned to Price. And seal it he did with
touchdown runs of 3, 11, 6, 9, 14 and three while gaining 188 yards on
21
carries.
The game like the season opening 75-18 win over Gilmer County, was
not that
close.
The Red Devils scored on their first possession on Price's 3-yard run.
They
scored minutes later on Price's 11-yard run. Following a field goal by
Ritchie's Adam Mullenix the Red Devils rolled off two more scores -
both by
Price - and by intermission Calhoun led 28-3 and the legendary Fat
Lady was
singing "turn out the lights."
Price gave the Red Devils their biggest lead of the night on the first
series following intermission when his 14-yard run made it 35-3.
After trading touchdowns - Calhoun's was the sixth by Price - Ritchie
scored
two meaningless late touchdowns against the reserves to set the final
score.
Calhoun's penchant for penalties both real - seven encroachment
penalties -
and imagined - a horrible and incorrect roughing the quarterback
penalty
which gave Ritchie its final score - was the biggest thing that made
the
game as close as it was.
The Red Devils also had six fumbles but lost only one.
Calhoun, now 2-0 on the season, opens its home schedule this coming
Friday
night against Doddridge (0-2). Doddridge beat Calhoun 21-20 last
season.
