POLK COUNTY-The Sequoyah Chiefs found them­selves on the wrong side of his­tory Friday night. Zach Miller's 406 rushing yards and six touch­downs were enough alone to set a single game record for the Wildcat program. If that wasn't enough, the win gave Polk head man, Derrick Davis his 100th win in his career, spanning 12 years in Benton.

The Chiefs started out hot, with a fumble recovery on the second play of the game by Austin Lunsford. On the very next snap Blake Huffman fired a 56-yard bomb to Lunsford for the score. Logan McDonald's extra point was good and the Chiefs led 7-0, with 11:11 to go in the first. After a Brett King interception, Zack Miller scored on a 59-yard run to make the game 7-6. Miller ripped off another for the lead after punching it in from 31 yards out. Wildcats led 14-7 at the start of the second.

Turnovers really cost the Chiefs in this one. They handed the Wildcats six free ones in the contest. After a turnover in the second, the Wildcats score on a Josh Silas pass to Justin Brown. Polk led 21-7 nearing the half. The Chiefs would score though on a King 6-yard run to make it 21-14. A Lunsford interception took us to the half with the sore 21-14.

In the third players made plays for the Chiefs. Matt Gletty had a few big catches includ­ing a 31-yard grab and a 5-yard touchdown score on a double reverse. Garret Dalton made catches when he wasn't double covered and Rueben Abernathy was a favorite target of King's throughout the night.

On defense though it was tough to stop Miller. Caleb Minor's recovery of a fumble and the return of Brian Tilley helped as both of them had double digit stops.

Dustin Webb was a force at defensive end as he racked up a sack and five tackles. Luke Knott, Abernathy, Huffman and Harmon had good games on defense. All in all this game was won by Miller. He outscored the Chiefs 20-0 in the fourth quarter and that was enough to preserve the win 47-21.
