Late miscues hurt Scotties Second-half turnovers haunt Glasgow in 32-20 loss By JOHN VERSERGlasgow Daily Times The Scotties held the Panthers to three plays and got the ball back with 3:04 left in the third quarter. Glasgow gained nine yards on two rushing plays to set up a third and one.
That’s when the trouble started. The Scotties fumbled on the play and Russellville took over at the Glasgow 36. The Panthers needed just three plays to score, going in on a 14-yard touchdown pass. They hit the two point play and led 18-12. Lindsey threw an interception on the Scotties’ second play after getting the ball back, which Donavon Harris returned for a 42-yard touchdown and a 25-12 lead. Lindsey was under heavy pressure on the play and threw it right to Harris while he was chased. Russellville added a fourth quarter score on a 5-yard run from Craig Matthews with 3:16 left in the game. Glasgow’s final score came on a 1-yard run from Lindsey with just 35 seconds left. Despite the loss, Glasgow’s coach was somewhat pleased with his team’s adjustment to the new offense. “We used some of our same plays, not the the spread by Tony Franklin, but a lot of the same stuff that they do using the way we call things,” Lindsey said. “We were able to get some things and give us some running lanes in there a little bit. And they had a hard time stopping us at times. “We sometimes self-destruct. And that’s the thing we have problems with. It’s not because they’re not trying.” But the game turned on turnovers. Russellville capitalized on Glasgow’s second half mistakes, while the Scotties couldn’t take advantage of the Panthers’ first half miscues. “We should’ve scored when we had it down there, but we didn’t,” Lindsey said. “And we shouldn’t have made the turnovers that we did. Those things happen when you’re 0-6. If we were winning, we probably wouldn’t make those mistakes.” Glasgow is off this week. The Scotties are back in action Oct. 17 when they host district foe Monroe County at 7 p.m. Score by quarter Russellville 0 3 22 7 - 32
