The Pickens County Tornadoes hosted the Meek Tigers Friday night in a 1A, Region 6 contest. The Tornadoes scored early and often en route to a 67-20 thumping of the Tigers.
The first quarter of action saw three Pickens County scores. The first came by way of a 38-yard strike from Junior Aljaron Edwards to fellow Junior Isaiah Stevenson. A failed point-after attempt left the Pickens County lead at 6-0 with 8:19 to play in the opening quarter.
The second score from the Tornadoes was credited to Senior Jaccaurian Washington on a 3-yard run. Edwards found Junior Jerry Wallace on a successful two-point try to improve the Pickens County lead to 14-0 with 4:32 to play in the first quarter.
The Tornadoes closed out the first quarter with a 32-yard touchdown run. A failed extra point left the score at 20-0 at the end of the first quarter.
The second quarter saw two Tornado touchdown passes from Edwards. The first came on a 66-yard bomb to Stevenson and the second was hauled in by Tramaine Prude for 50 yards. Add it all up and Pickens County headed into the locker room with a comfortable 34-0 halftime lead over the Tigers.
