Bobcats’ homecoming spoiled by Hatton 35-7

PHIL CAMPBELL — Trailing 14-0 in the third quarter Phil Campbell took its first possession of the second half to the end zone, but Hatton would have no more of the rally, beating the Bobcats 35-7.

It was a tough homecoming for Phil Campbell, which needed a victory to boost its fading playoff chances. Now the Bobcats are 0-3 in region play and will need to win all of their remaining region games to have a shot at clinching a playoff spot.

Tyson Sumerel hit Craig Saint for a 20-yard touchdown for Phil Campbell’s only score of the game.

The Bobcats struggled on offense, amassing 42 rushing yards on 23 carries and 143 passing yards.

Most of the passing yards came on Phil Campbell’s final two possessions.
