For the second straight week, Good Hope’s defense shut down the opposition. 

Tyler Cone tossed a touchdown pass to Landon Bagwell in the third quarter to break a scoreless tie and the Raiders took care of the rest on the other side of the ball, forcing a couple of turnovers en route to a 7-6 win over Fultondale on Friday night. 

Coach Alan Scott’s team improved to 2-0 (1-0 in Class 4A, Region 5) with the victory. 

“I’m really humbled by the way our guys played tonight,” said Scott, whose team was without starting quarterback Parker Johnson. “We showed a lot of guts. Defensively, it was the definition of bend but don’t break. Fultondale is so athletic and they popped a few mid-range runs — but we never gave up the big play and were able to capitalize on some turnovers and miscues.” 

The Raiders travel to Haleyville next week.
