Carthage gets past Republic After that, defenses from both teams applied pressure. The teams traded six straight three-and-outs.
The teams traded interceptions. Clay Kinman intercepted Shireman at the Republic 38 and, seven plays later, Republic’s Wes Holmes intercepted Derryberry near the end zone. The teams also traded quick touchdowns. With about six minutes left in the first half, Derryberry ran a keeper play to the left of the line and ran 80 yards for a score. On the ensuing drive from the Republic 30, Shireman found receiver Mark Shockley open at the 45. After catching the pass, Shockley eluded defenders and scored a 70-yard touchdown. Carthage appeared to add to its 14-7 halftime lead during its first drive of the second half. Carthage mounted an 11-play drive from its own 32, going 54 yards on Derryberry’s passing. The drive stalled on fourth-and-12 from the Republic 14, when Shireman intercepted Derryberry’s pass. Guidie said he didn’t know what caused Derryberry’s shaky night. “It’s hard to fault him when he makes three tremendous passes on that drive,” Guidie said. “I need to watch the film to figure out that answer.” Derryberry recovered in the fourth quarter. From the Republic 15, Derryberry tossed a quick screen pass to receiver Steven Ellefsen, who powered through several defenders to score a touchdown. On Republic’s ensuing drive, Ellefsen intercepted quarterback Blaze Carano, giving Carthage possession at the Republic 22. Seven plays later, Poston from the 1 bounced off a mass of players then ran left for the game’s final score. Carthage (6-1) travels to Webb City (7-0) next Friday for a key conference and district game.
