The Dodge County High School (DCHS) Indians welcomed the Brantley County Herons this past Friday night at Memorial Stadium for the first home game of the season.
The Herons returned the opening kickoff and a completed pass from Anthony Turlington to Mikel Collins lead to a 10-yard touchdown. The point after kick was no good and Brantley County was on the board, six to zero.
The Indians returned the kick off and drove the ball down field. With the first quarter coming to a close, quarterback Landon Martin, with an eight-yard run, scored for the Indians. Dodge County decided to go for the two-point conversion and Kyle Glover ran the ball in. Indians were up eight to six at the end of the quarter.
Brantley County’s next possession ended with no score and Dodge County got the ball back and quickly erupted downfield. Mitch Tanner kicked a 37-yard field goal and Indians led 11 to six.
Once again Brantley County could not score and Dodge County would once again get the chance to move down the field. Martin would keep the ball and run in for 15-yards and scored for the Indians. After a defensive personal foul at the zero yard line, the point after kick by Tanner was good and Dodge went into the locker room at the end of the first half leading 18 to six.

Indians win first home game, 34-20
The first half of the third quarter was a defensive game and neither team could get into scoring position. The Heron’s quarterback, Turlington would have a two-yard rush that would score for Brantley County and the two-point conversion attempt failed. The score was 18 to 12 Dodge County.
With less than a minute left in the third quarter Dodge County would once again get into the red zone and Martin would have a two-yard run for another touchdown. Clint Thompson would make the pass to Kyle Glover for the two-point conversion and Dodge would lead 26 to 12 going into the fourth quarter.
A two-yard run by Turlington and two-point conversion run would make the score 20 to 26 with Dodge’s lead cut to only six points in the fourth quarter. Dodge County would come back in answer to the Brantley County touchdown and a seven-yard run by Gerrard Davis would score the final touchdown for the Indians. A two-point conversion run by Martin would put the Indians up 34 to 20, which was the final score of the game.
The Indians had 45 first downs in the game compared to the Herons 36 and rushed for 340 total yards in the game compared to the Herons 96 total yards.
Other stats of the game were Cain Peterson had one reception for 14-yards; Tanner had one reception for six yards; Kyle Glover had one reception for four yards; and Keith Glover had one reception for four yards.
