WHAT A PLAY ON FOURTH DOWN. Eric Gilkey III is putting on a show, as he recovers from the bad snap and finds @showtimedevine1 to extend the @TigersCanton_FB lead. PAT no good. Canton leads Velma Jackson 19-12 with 3 minutes to go in the second quarter. @MCOJSports

Eric Gilkey III with an absolutely INSANE run to extend Canton’s lead. Keep an eye on this kid, one of the more slept on players in the state going into the season, after suffering a season-ending injury in game one last year. Tigers lead Velma Jackson 13-7. 1:58 left in 1Q.

Touchdown pass from Eric Gilkey III to @xclusive_jayy_ gives Canton a 7-6 lead over Velma Jackson with 4:44 left in the first quarter. @MCOJSports
