Redskins roll through first round

Despite frigid temperatures Friday night, the Loudon High School Redskins caught fire early and never looked back in a 49-14 rout of the Alvin C. York Institute Dragons in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs.

“I think ultimately, it puts last week behind us,” Jeff Harig, LHS head football coach, said. “As big as Friday against Red Bank was, it carried over with us, not only through this week, but into this night, and we weren’t ready to play the type of game that York brought. It’s good now to get that over with, and let’s get really focused now. It’s week two and let’s go.”
