Case Phillips and Nolan Martin combined for three interceptions and Blake Robinson set the school career sack record, but it wasn’t enough as the Cougars fell 28-0 to Jonesboro-Hodge at Origin Bank Stadium Friday night.
With the loss, Cedar Creek (1-9) closes out its season while the Tigers (4-6) will await their playoff fate this coming week.
Robinson recorded a sack in the contest to give him 14.5 for his career as the junior tied the school’s all-time sack record.
Phillips registered interceptions on the Tigers first possessions of both the first and second halves while Martin recorded his interception on Jonesboro-Hodge’s second possession of the second half.
However, the Tigers scored a TD in both the first and second quarters and two more in the fourth to pull away for the win.
Jonesboro-Hodge outgained the Cougars 269-106 in the game, including amassing 174 yards on the ground. All 106 of Cedar Creek’s yards came on the ground as the Cougars were led by Mason Wooden with 50 yards and Payton Harris with 36 yards.
Creek recorded just four first downs on the night while J-Hodge had 12.
In addition to setting the school career sack record, Robinson totaled 10 tackles in the game while Wooden and Eli Slocum each registered seven tackles.
J-Hodge scored in the first half on a 21- and a 13-yard TD pass and then added 27- and 19-yard scoring runs in the fourth quarter.
