PICKENS — On a homecoming night that featured an engagement and a crowning, all Pickens High School fans were missing was a win, as the Walhalla Razorbacks’ rushing attack led them to a 35-7 victory over the Blue Flame.

“We weren’t able to start or finish drives tonight,” Pickens head coach Chad Smith said after the game. “Give Walhalla all the credit in the world. They’re a good football team. I don’t think we executed like we needed to, and that falls on me. We struggled to contain (Walhalla quarterback Corey) Loggins, we were overpursuing a lot, and that just comes down to discipline.”

Pickens saw some success throwing the ball, with quarterback Drew Campbell delivering his first touchdown pass of the year and Pickens’ only offensive score of the night to running back Zionde Clark.

“They stacked the box, and we were able to throw it some,” Smith said. “We just did not execute in the passing game. When someone stacks the box like that, you have to be able to throw them out of it.”
