ASD earns homecoming win

TALLADEGA --- One way or another Saturday night, Alabama School for the Deaf’s homecoming game against Florida was bound to be memorable.

Josh Snow made sure it was memorable for the right reasons.

Snow stole the ball away from an FSD ball-carrier late in the fourth quarter, and returned the turnover 65 yards for a touchdown to give the Silent Warriors a nail-biting 27-22 victory over the Dragons .

The victory was an especially sweet one for the Warriors (3-1), who were hosting FSD (0-2) for Homecoming, and as part of the sesquicentennial celebration for the Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind.

Snow’s recovery was actually the second time ASD advanced a fumble on the night – earlier, offensive guard J.D. Williams scooped up a loose ball and advanced it 40 yards for a score to put ASD up 21-8.

Snow had another score in the game, a 49-yard run, which marked the game's first points. He also added the two-point conversion to put ASD up 8-0.

Kwentavious Boyd made the score 14-0 in the second quarter, with a 75-yard touchdown.

FSD rallied in the second half and took a 22-21 lead, before Snow’s heroics provided the final margin.

Boyd led ASD in tackles, with 14. Jerrod Cunningham added 13 stops, while Caleb Potter recorded 10.

ASD returns to action on Friday, hosting Victory Christian at Kiwanis Memorial Field.
