HS FOOTBALL: Jaguars slip past Hornets in OT

Floyd Central running back Dalton Boyd wanted the football with the game on the line.

Coach Shawn Hager gave it to him.

Boyd scored on a 10-yard run on the first play from scrimmage in overtime and then ran in the two-point conversion to give the Jaguars at 36-34 win over Magoffin County on Friday night.

The outcome came down to Hornet running back Jaylon McDuffus stopped short on the goal line on a potential game-tying two-point conversion.

Boyd finished with 201 yards rushing and four touchdowns on 29 carries as Floyd Central moved to 3-5. Gavin Martin followed with 49 yards on 10 rushes and one score.

Chad Bates led the defense with 12 tackles, and he recovered a fumble.

Floyd Central is idle this coming Friday before traveling to Lawrence County on Oct. 25. Magoffin County, now 2-5, will host Pike County Central (6-1) on Oct. 18. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
