Comment on Crockett's game with Ooltewah ends in suspension

JONESBOROUGH — Just as David Crockett’s football game with Ooltewah was getting interesting, Mother Nature intervened. With Crockett leading 19-16 late in the third quarter at Pioneer Field, lightning struck in the area, causing a lengthy delay. The game was finally suspended after a wait of an hour and 40 minutes and won’t be resumed unless it affects either team’s playoff chances at the end of the season. There was 1:17 remaining in the third quarter. Cade Larkins, David Crockett’s star quarterback who has his sights set on the state record for career passing yards, overcame a rocky start as the Pioneers were trying to continue their momentum from last year’s 12-1 season. LARKINS HURT Larkins was knocked out of the game late in the third quarter when he was hit on his way out of bounds.
