Carter Meachum was Cochran’s top target through the air, collecting two passes for 37 yards and a touchdown with Nik Flemming and Brad Mossor also collecting a touchdown pass each.
Dominick Collins led the way on the ground for the Tigers, maximizing his one carry and turning it into a 42-yard touchdown. Marquel Lowe scored twice on the ground while Cochran also utilized his legs to find pay dirt.
Lincoln County QB Blake Adkins connected with Drew Banks for the Panthers’ lone touchdown of the game.
