fumble. Jessy Robinson added a
second-half interception for the
Cavaliers.
Seago took over at quarterback
on the Cavaliers’ final possession
of the second quarter. He later contributed a 46-yard touchdown for
Carlinville’s only score of the second half.
Late in the second quarter, most
of the offensive starters were done
for the night.
Easterday said being up by so
much gave many underclassmen a
chance to see game action.
“It was an opportunity tonight
where some younger kids got to
play,” he said.
Roberts tallied a team-high five
tackles. E. Dixon, Broedy Long,
Gray, Matt Bolomey and Ben Rog-
ers each had four tackles. Gray,
Dunlap, Taylor Lee and Alex Wood
each contributed one tackle-forloss.
Fourteen seniors honored
Seniors Josh Boston, Damien
Burch, E. Dixon, LaDarius Dunlap, T.J. Gray, Jeffrey Hart, Dalton Jamieson, Logan Jewett,
Taylor Lee, J.R. Macke, Driston
Mitchell, Thad Roberts, Barry
Stewart and Alex Wood were recognized prior to the start of the
game.
“It’s a great way for them to wrap
that up for them at home in terms
of our regular season,” C. Easterday said. “Hopefully with a win
next week, being at 7-2 there’s an
outside chance we may get a home
game (for the playoffs).”
The Cavaliers’ playoff opponent
will be announced Saturday, Oct.
26, by the IHSA.
Carlinville finishes the home
portion of its schedule with a 4-1
record.
