HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — In the latter part of the first half. the Whitesburg Christian Warriors found themselves in a stalemate with Asbury. As no one could find an advantage against the opposition especially when it came to running the ball on the edge.

"They were so conscience the outside run and it opened up the inside, so we decided to go underneath," says Coach Jimmy Nave.

So Whitesburg Coach Jimmy Nave Whitesburg and his staff made some adjustments to the offensive scheme and it turned out to be huge for running back Ryan Turner.

"Going into that half, we were all talking to each other," says Ryan Turner. Trying to make changes and I got the receivers to block different. I was able to do the rest. 

Turner's ability to follow his blocks on inside zones plays and running off tackle turned out to be more than successful for the Warriors. By the end of the night, the warriors running back had rushed for 342 yards and four touchdowns in Whitesburg 51-28 victory.
