Wortham downs Leon 60-27

The Wortham Bulldogs defeated the Leon Cougars 60-27 in their first home game of the year. Wortham’s first home game was supposed to be last week, but rain late in the day created an unsafe field and the game was moved to Rosebud Lott. The Bulldogs fumbled the first kickoff, and the Cougars made them pay with a 12-play drive that put them up 7-0. However, it didn’t take long for Wortham to take the lead. Derek Bullard ran 51 yards for a touchdown on Wortham’s first play, and Tanner Bean ran in the conversion to put the Bulldogs up 8-7. The Cougars mounted a 6-play drive that resulted in another touchdown and a 14-8 lead with 2:40 to go in the first quarter.
