Blount finishes off stellar career
Blount, a senior quarterback at Forest Hills High, rushed for 189 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries in the Yellow Jackets’ 24-21 home loss to Pisgah in the second round of the 2AA state playoffs.
The three scores were significant because it gave Blount 102 over his four-year career. That total includes rushing (84), passing (12), kick returns (3), interception returns (2) and receiving (1).
Blount accumulated 5,392 rushing yards and 1,425 passing yards for his career.
Blount ended the 2009 season with 2,034 rushing yards and a career-high 35 rushing touchdowns. He went over 200 yards three times in 2009 and scored a career-best six touchdowns in a win over Central Academy on Oct. 23.
Blount also had his best season statistically in the passing game, throwing for 833 yards with seven touchdowns and just three interceptions.
Sigmon shines
Forest Hills junior linebacker Aaron Sigmon matched a season-high with 16 tackles in Friday’s loss, giving him a team-best 152 for the season.
Sigmon also had a tackle for loss against Pisgah.
Sigmon was a first-team all-Union County selection as a sophomore in 2008, when he led Union County in tackles with 130.
Odds and ends ...
... Sophomore defensive end Marcus Thomas had three tackles for loss and a sack on Friday while Blount, junior defensive end Darius Ellison and sophomore linebacker Darian Tobin all had two stops for loss. Junior linebacker Sherman Faulkner added one tackle for loss.
... Senior tailback Cortland Crowder caught his first pass of the season for a 37-yard gain in the third quarter of Friday’s loss.
... FH’s defense held Pisgah tailback Travis Smalling to a season-low 76 yards on 26 carries. For the season, Smalling has 1,866 yards and 32 touchdowns.
