Second-ranked PCHS scores final 27 points to beat Cook
ADEL — Two quick touchdowns in the opening three minutes of the second half helped second-ranked Pierce County pull away from a 13all tie at intermission en route to a 34-13 win here over Cook in the Region 3-AA opener for both teams.
The Bears moved to 7-0 for the third time in Ryan Herring’s seven seasons heading into this week’s bye. The Hornets (4-3 overall, 0-1 region), who lost for the third time in four games after a 3-0 start and Top 10 ranking, travel to Tattnall County (2-5, 0-1) Friday. The Warriors fell 35-3 at Crisp County (2-5, 1-0) “Every win is big this year, but this one is really big,” said Herring. “It’s the region opener on the road against a very good Cook team. They (Hornets) have a very good coach (Byron Slack) ... he’s a good football coach and that is a tough team.
