Bath County Chargers

Cade Perdue, Quarterback (QB)

Perdue demonstrated effective leadership of the offense, balancing key pass plays with a strong rushing attack.

• Performance Insight: In the second quarter, Perdue completed a critical 24-yard pass that moved Bath County into scoring position. He capped off the drive by scoring a 6-yard rushing touchdown, which stood as the winning score [cite: 5]. His ability to extend drives and make timely plays under pressure kept Pocahontas County on the defensive.
  
  

Walker Randolph, Running Back (RB)

Randolph was a powerful presence in the backfield, often serving as the primary focus for the Pocahontas County defense.

• Performance Insight: Though often bottled up in the first half, Randolph’s constant threat forced the Warriors’ defense to cluster. His signature play was a critical 2-point conversion in the third quarter that expanded the lead to 15-0, demonstrating his goal-line running strength [cite: 5]. He was also central to Bath County's clock-draining strategies late in the game.
  
  

Nate Turner, Kicker/Punter/Defender

Turner provided significant contributions across all three phases of the game.

• Performance Insight: Defensively, Turner was credited with a key tackle in the scoring drive that followed the opening possession. On special teams, his primary value was in point-after attempts (PATs), converting after Bath County touchdowns to maximize points [cite: 5].
  
  

Pocahontas County Warriors

Austin Price, Running Back (RB)

Price was the clear offensive focal point and primary workhorse for the Warriors.

• Performance Insight: Price provided nearly all the consistent positive offensive production for Pocahontas County, routinely breaking 4- to 6-yard runs [cite: 6]. While he struggled to find explosive scoring lanes, he successfully generated several first downs in short-yardage situations, keeping the chains moving despite facing a stout defense [cite: 6].
  
  

Logan Keatley, Linebacker/Defensive End (LB/DE)

Keatley was one of the most visible and effective players on the Pocahontas County defense.
