Dragons rally for win over Berea

Harlan outscored visiting Berea 30-0 in the second half to wipe out a six-point halftime deficit on the way to a 38-14 win Saturday in seventh- and eighth-grade football action.

Vincent Smith, Jackson Luttrell, Noah Kirby and Nate Monetnaro scored for the Dragons. Kirby and Jackson Luttrell led the team in tackles. Ade Akisanya and Peyton Thompson played well up front, according to the coaching staff.

“This was a big win for our team,” said Harlan coach Jonathan Lee. “It’s great to get the confidence that a victory brings. I am proud of these kids on how they responded on a hot Saturday facing a talented team from the north that got up on us early. Our secondary shut down the passing attack and held them scoreless the second half. We have a lot of room for improvement, but this was a significant step for our team.”

Harlan (3-2) will play at Lynn Camp on Thursday.
