Panthers rough up Tigers in Grant County showdown
By JUSTIN DAVIS
Blue Mountain Eagle
The only football game this sea-
son pitting a pair of Grant County
teams against one another was a
one-sided affair as the Prairie City/
Burnt River Panthers overwhelmed
the Monument/Dayville Tigers 64-2
on Friday, Sept. 2, in Prairie City.
The Panthers built a 51-0 lead by
the end of the first quarter largely
due to five Tiger turnovers that all
resulted in touchdowns. The Pan-
thers would add another touch-
down late in the second quarter to
take a commanding 58-0 lead into
halftime.
Prairie City was scoreless in
the third quarter. Monument/Day-
ville would capitalize on a Panther
fumble in the period, which ulti-
mately led to a safety and their first
points of the game. The third quarter
ended with Prairie City leading 58-2
headed into the final quarter.
The Panthers would find the end
zone one more time in the game and
push their lead to 64-2 with 2:40 left
in the contest. Monument/Dayville
never quit, continuing to try and run
their offense and find the end zone
until the final minute of the game.
Monument ultimately decided to
kneel on the ball and run the final
minute of the contest off the clock
and end the game at 64-2 in favor of
Prairie City.
Monument/Dayville coach Chris
Carlin said the turnovers and block-
ing are going to be points of empha-
sis for his young team at practice
this upcoming week. Carlin also
said despite the score, there were a
lot of bright spots in the game for
his team.
“The younger kids really stepped
up and played hard. Our leaders
never quit, so I’m very proud of
these boys. They played hard against
a bigger, faster team,” Carlin said.
Carlin also gave praise to the
Panthers for their effort in the con-
test. “Hats off to Prairie City.
They’re a heck of a team. They’ve
got some big boys and they’re fast
and they hit hard,” he said.
“I’m just proud of how hard
they fought,” Carlin said of his
squad. “Being down 58-0 and we
had a good punt from DJ Heikes
and we got a safety from DJ also.
He’s a senior and a leader. ... I’m

just proud of them.”
Prairie City/Burnt River coach
Nick Thompson was satisfied with
his team’s performance and had
some praise of his own for Monu-
ment/Dayville following the game.
“I think we saw some good
things,” he said. “First off, Dayville
is a lot better than they were last
year. We were hoping to get a full
game this time, so I’m happy with
that.”
The Panther defense set the tone
early in the game. Thompson called
his defensive unit “super-disci-
plined,” which he said was the result
of many hours of work.
“We’ve spent a lot of time teach-
ing, a lot of teaching time,” he
added. “I think the biggest thing I
saw tonight was, you saw kids lit-
erally getting better every single
play. They’re learning from the play
before and getting better, so I’m
super-encouraged with the defense.”
There was a noticeable buzz after
the game. Players conversed with
fellow students and posed for pic-
tures with coaches and teammates, a
dynamic that Thompson noticed and
was happy to bring to Prairie City/
Burnt River football.
“It feels great,” he said of the
postgame environment. “That’s
what we’ve been shooting for here,
trying to change the culture for the
last two years.”
“It was evident today. We show
up a half-hour early for the game,
and there are more people here
before the game than there were for
games two years ago. ... The buzz is
big. We’ve got a great community,
great turnout. ... That’s a big goal
here. We want everybody to come to
games and feel welcome at games,”
Thompson added.
The loss drops Monument/Day-
ville to 0-1 on the young season. The
Tigers are in action next on Friday,
Sept. 9, at home against Huntington.
The game has a 1 p.m. kickoff.
Prairie City/Burnt River moves
to 1-0 with the home win to open
the season. The Panthers are in
action again on Friday, Sept. 9, on
the road in a massive showdown
with defending state champions
Wheeler County. Kickoff for that
contest is 2 p.m.
