The game started off very exciting as Commerce's Deon Brock recovered a fumble by his own team and ran it all the way down field for a touchdown. The sidelines irrupted and several players stormed the field. It was exciting for them, but mostly annoying for me because they blocked my jube shots! The hope for an upset by the Tigers quickly faded as the Dragons came back to score 2 touchdowns and a field goal to wrap up the first half with a 16-7 score. I left at half-time to drive the 30 minutes back to the paper and edit my take. The Dragons won as expected, 30-13.
