Jags squander chances vs. Pats

In a span of less than three minutes early in the second half, Heritage erased all of its first-half mistakes.

The Patriots’ two fumbles and an interception in the first half gave Cedar Shoals plenty of chances to build a lead.

But the Jaguars couldn’t generate much momentum, and it came back to burn them at home in a 36-19 loss on Friday. The unbeaten Patriots scored 16 unanswered points in a decisive third quarter that started with another highlight reel play from Cedar Shoals running back Rodney Willingham.

But that momentum didn’t last long as Heritage went 80 yards in 10 plays to restore its eight-point cushion and then coast to victory.
