De Queen Drops 28-15 Decision at White Hall 10/02

It was a tale of two halves Friday night as White Hall won the second half decisively to defeat De Queen 28 to 15. The Leopards took the opening kickoff and drove 79 yards in 20 plays while taking over 14 minutes off the clock. However, they came away with no points as the drive ended with a fumble at the one-yard line. After a three-and-out stop by the De Queen defense, the Leopards drew first blood on a 13-yard touchdown pass from Hunter Dinkins to John Maturino. After Evan Wolcott, our McDonalds Player of the Game, forced and recovered a Bulldog fumble, Abraham Perez kicked a 27-yard field goal with seconds left and the Leopards looked to be in good shape heading into halftime with a 9 to 0 lead. The Leopards controlled the football for 20 out of the 24 first half minutes.

However, White Hall came out motivated in the second half. The Bulldogs scored 28 unanswered points to take a 28 to 9 lead capitalizing on a couple of interceptions. The Leopards executed a perfect fake punt in the fourth quarter which set up a Hunter Dinkins 18-yard scoring run to cap the night’s scoring as the Bulldogs rallied for the 28 to 15 victory.

Dinkins led the Leopards rushing attack with 114 yards on 28 carries. Landon Wise added 72 yards on the ground. Wise also had a 21-yard reception on the fake punt. Defensively, Wise led the tackle charts with nine. Gabe Cotton was credited with eight tackles. Wolcott had seven stops, a ten-yard quarterback sack, a forced fumble and recovery.

The Leopards return home on Friday to host Hot Springs at 7:00.

Leopards Come Up Short Against Pine Bluff 42-21

 Pine Bluff defeated De Queen 42 to 21 Friday night at Leopard Stadium in the 5A-South Conference opener. However, the game was much closer than the final score indicated. The Leopards and Zebras were tied at 14 at intermission. The game was tied at 21 with just under five minutes to go in the third quarter. But Pine Bluff’s size, speed, and depth advantages finally wore down De Queen.

Sophomore Hunter Dinkins, our McDonalds Player of the Game, led the Leopards with 147 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries. Quarterback Keegan McCoy connected with John Maturino on a nine-yard scoring pass to account for De Queen’s other score.

Defensively, Jordan Ledesma had a big interception and returned it 55 yards to set up a De Queen score late in the first half.

De Queen, now 0 and 1 in league play and 1 and 3 overall, will try to regroup as they travel to White Hall Friday night.
