The Enterprise Bulldogs raced out to a 20-0 over the Morton Panthers and then had to hang on as Morton scored 14 unanswered points as EHS won 20-14 over the homestanding Panthers. Sophomore tailback Zee Sims was once again the hero for Enterprise running for 143 yards on 11 carries and scoring two TDs on runs of 72 and 50 yards. The Bulldogs kicked off to the Panthers to start the game and EHS held MHS to a three-and-out and forced a Morton punt. EHS took over at its 33 and drove to the MHS 32 before turning the football over on downs. EHS held Morton to another three and out and got the ball back on its 28 yard line.  Two plays later facing a third and seven the Bulldogs handed the ball to their sophomore sensation Zee Sims and the speedy tailback raced 72 yards to give EHS its first points of the night. Trace Roy kicked the PAT to give EHS a 7-0 lead with five minutes left in the first quarter. The rest of the first half the two teams traded punts with Morton punting four times and EHS punting twice. Enterprise forced Morton's sixth punt of the first half and got possession at its 34 with only 1:59 left in the first half.  The Bulldogs drove down the field as the half wound down with Bulldog QB Derryon Gray scoring on a 15 yard run with only 20 seconds left in the first half. Trace Roy added the extra point to give EHS a 14-0 lead. The Bulldogs kicked off to the Panthers and Morton quickly drove down the field, reaching the EHS 15 yard line.  Morton called time out with mere seconds left in the half and attempted a Field Goal. Morton kicker George Ibara's kick went wide left denying the panthers any momentum going into halftime and sending Enterprise into the locker room with a 14-0 lead. The MHS Panthers kicked of to the Bulldogs to start the second half. Enterprise could not move on offense and was forced to punt to the panthers. EHS then forced Morton's seventh punt of the night and took over possession at its 38 yard line. Three plays later Sims struck again bolting loose for a 50 yard scoring scamper to put EHS up 20-0 with eight minutes left in the 3rd quarter.  A bad snap prevented Trace Roy from sending the ball through the uprights.  The Bulldogs kicked off to the Panthers and Morton finally mounted a scoring drive, scoring a TD on a four yard run to make the score 20-6 with two minutes left in the third period. Morton missed the PAT. MHS kicked off to EHS but the Bulldogs once again were forced to punt. The Panthers then drove into Bulldog territory before Gray intercepted Morton QB Gerald Madden at the EHS 32 yard line. The Panthers forced the Bulldogs to punt and then drove to the EHS Five yard line before Gray recovered a Morton fumble. The good news was that EHS had avoided a potential Morton TD, the bad news was Enterprise had the ball at its own five yard line. Three straight rushing attempts up the middle of the Morton defense netted nothing and EHS facing a fourth and ten at its own five was forced to punt out of its own endzone. The Morton punt returner returned the punt to the EHS 22 and MHS scored in four plays and then ran in the two point conversion with only 53 seconds left in the contest to make the score 20-14. Next came the onside kick everyone knew was coming. Now everyone knows that in order for a team to successfully recover an onside kick the ball must travel at least ten yards. On Morton's first attempted onside kick Enterprise recovered the ball but Morton was penalized and forced to kick again. Enterprise again recovered Morton's second onside kick attempt and Bulldog QB Derryon Gray kneeled twice to run out the clock and give EHS its first Region 5 3A win as well as keep Enterprise undefeated at 6-0. Enterprise rushed for 281 yards  and passed  for 46 and had 327 total yards. Zee Sims led EHS with 143 yards on 11 carries and two TDs. Gavyn Dear had 44 yards on 11 carries, Trace Roy had 41 yards on seven carries, Parks Burt had 34 yards on eight carries and Derryon Gray had 19 yards on eight carries and one TD. Gray was 2-7 for 46 yards, Blake Wilkins caught one pass for 32 yards and Dear caught one for 14 yards. On defense Roy led EHS with 10 tackles, Gray had 8 tackles, and also had one INT and recovered a fumble. Parks Burt and Isiah Baum each had seven tackles and Ridge Jackson and Ryland Heathcock each had 5 tackles. Percell Lindsey and Isiah Bam had a joint QB sack. Blake Wilkins punted seven times for a 38.9 yard average. Trace Roy was 2-3 on extra points.
