The loss of Alabama-commitment quarterback ShawnDarius Jennings in the second quarter spelled doom Friday night for the Dadeville Tigers as the Beauregard Hornets used two early-third-quarter interceptions by his replacement, junior quarterback Tre Johnson, to pull away for a 68-33 win in their season opener here at Tiger Stadium.

“You can’t explain this one,” said Dadeville head coach Richard White. “Mama said there would be days like this one. It was just a good old-fashioned butt-whipping what we took tonight. I have no explanation for it. We just didn’t show up defensively.”
