Wildcats Ground out Win over Maroon Tigers on Homecoming

FORT VALLEY, Ga. – The festivities have run all week with an overflow of Wildcat supporters to The Valley Saturday and the team on the gridiron did not disappoint. Fort Valley State ground out a solid 31-3 Homecoming victory over Morehouse College and sealed another winning season in the process.
 
Leading by only 7-3 late in the second quarter, Fralon Warren pulled in Donovan Anthony's best pass of the first half and capped a quick 4-play, 48-yard drive with the 26-yard touchdown catch. With the score, FVSU went ahead by double digits and never looked back.

After giving up 51 yards on 12 plays resulting in a field goal on the opening Morehouse possession, the FVSU defense allowed only 86 yards over the final 50:31 of the contest. Offensively, Brandon Marshall carried the load for the Wildcats with his fourth 100-plus yard outing in the last five games with 140 yards on 28 carries and two scores from 1-yard for the first home touchdown and put the game out of reach with a 14-yard burst up the middle with 14:12 left in the day, 21-3.
 
With the home win, FVSU sealed its second winning season in a row under second-year head coach Shawn Gibbs. The Wildcats are now 6-2 and 6-1 in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference with two regular season games left on the docket.
 
Leading the defensive effort, Cedric Hillsman posed three tackles for loss, a sack where he forced the fumble, six tackles and a quarterback hurry. Hillsman and his teammates totaled 18 tackles for loss of 54 yards on the afternoon along with two forced fumbles and five sacks. Adeon Farmer accounted for two of the other sacks while Tim Alderman, D.J. Wilson and Marquis Hood had the others.
 
Darnell Stephens and Daymon Polite added five stops from the secondary. Both Malik Harp and Alderman recorded three tackles for loss apiece.
 
Filling in for Kelvin Durham, Anthony was an efficient 8 for 11 passing for 101 yards and the touchdown strike before half. Corintheus Edmonds grabbed three of the passes for 29 yards.
 
Punter Elan Hall gets special mention with his four boots. He covered 184 yards for a 46.0-yard per punt average with dropping three inside the opponents' 20-yardline, including one at the 1-yardline, and a touchback.
 
Trailing 3-0, FVSU took over on the visitors' 22-yardline on its second possession. Seven plays later, Marshall leaped over the line into the endzone from one yard away to put the Wildcats on top for good, 7-3.

Leading 14-3 at half and heading into the final 15 minutes at the same score, Marshall burst up the middle for a 14-yard scoring rush to seal the victory, 21-3, only 48 seconds into the quarter. Daniel Gibbs added a 30-yard field goal almost 10 minutes later and Jamal Sanders rushed for his first collegiate touchdown at 2:05 to go completing the scoring.
 
Morehouse was led by linebacker Daylon Land who recorded 12 tackles and two for loss.
 
FVSU stays home for its final Wildcat Stadium contest next Saturday, Oct. 28, in a 2 p.m. against Virginia University-Lynchburg for 'Senior Day.'
