North Murray’s Mountaineers finished their first junior varsity football season with a 40-33 victory over River Ridge on Friday at Woodstock.
John Olinger, Brady Swilling and Jacob Mays each scored two touchdowns for North Murray (5-4-1). One of Mays’ scores was a kick return.
“River Ridge is all freshmen so we started and played our young guys most of the game,” North Murray coach Larry Cornelius said. “Our sophomores played about five minutes.”

A shared success
(Misty Watson/The Daily Citizen) Dalton High’s Dante Thomas, left, and Caylor Summers, second from right, are congratulated by fellow senior Catamounts Scott Abernathy, second from left, and Tre Bonds. Thomas and Summers both had signing ceremonies in the Dalton High commons on Wednesday. Thomas, a defensive back, will play at Carson-Newman. Summers, who served as a manager the past three seasons, received a scholarship to fill the same role at Jacksonville State.
Dalton High’s Caylor Summers hasn’t been on the football field as a player since he was a freshman, becoming a team manager when injuries forced him to give up the game. The Catamounts’ Danté Thomas was such a shutdown defensive back in his final two seasons, most opposing coaches didn’t want their players on his part of the field.
