After John Reed Odom’s game saving tackle-for-loss on a Panther 2-point conversion attempt with 3:18 remaining in regulation, The Adamsville Cardinals held on to defeat Riverside 7-6 on the road in their first District 15A match-up of the season.

The win improved head coach Brandon Gray’s record against Riverside to 5-1 in his tenure at AHS.

“Overall, I was proud of the defense,” said Gray. “We told our kids all week that they had to be disciplined, buy in, and play as a team... Our guys did that.”
