FOLEY, Ala. — Spanish Fort and Foley met in a cross-class matchup in Lions territory Friday. In a matchup that could’ve been an upset alert game for Spanish Fort, it ended up being a one-sided performance in a 49-14 win over Foley.

After the Lions’ scored with a 3-yard wildcat run from Chris Armstrong on their second drive, the Toros’ defense played more consistently and sound.

Foley wouldn’t have a scoring drive until their final possession late in the final quarter.

The Toros offense had success ranging from screens to sophisticated reverses. Dayton Reed had the Toros’ first touchdown (8 yards) in the third possession of the game. Kris Abrams-Draine accounted for five receptions with 62 yards and a touchdown catch, ran for a 3-yard touchdown, and passed for a 34-yard touchdown to Corson Swan.

The best play of the game was a screen from Jack Samsel to Reed where he quickly pitched to Troy Trojans commit Grant Betts for a 19-yard touchdown in the first play of the second quarter.

Lions QB Garrett Mayo accounted for 10 completions (out of 25 attempts) for 157 yards, a touchdown in the fourth quarter to Christian Blackwell, and two interceptions.

Toros’ Defensive Backs John Sharp and Zavier Love had interceptions in the second quarter.

Foley (3-4) will travel to Mary G. Montgomery (0-8) as Spanish Fort (6-1) will travel to Saraland (6-2).
