The Pickens County Tornadoes hosted the undefeated Marion County Red Raiders Friday night in a 1A, Region 6 matchup. The Red Raiders got on the board first but the Pickens County defense made the plays needed to come away with the region victory for the Tornadoes.
The only offensive points of the night came on the second Marion County possession. The Red Raiders capped an 80-yard scoring drive with a three-yard touchdown run. A failed extra point left the Marion County lead at 6-0 with 6:18 to play in the opening quarter.
The Pickens County offensive attack was less than stellar on the night turning the ball over four times and failing to put any points on the scoreboard. The Tornado defense, after giving up a touchdown in the first quarter, kept the Red Raiders off the board for the remainder of the contest.
