By LINDA GOODMAN

The Titan football team had an exciting start to the season when they took to the road last Friday to take on the Northport Mustangs in a non-league game and returned home victorious with a score of 94-6.

For the Titans, Gaven Elder started the touchdowns early in the first quarter with a seven-yard run, also completing the two-point conversion on a pass from quarterback Colton Hunt. After that, the Titans never looked back even though Northport answered with a 60-yard pass play that put their only points of the game on the scoreboard.

Hunt then completed a 19-yard touchdown pass to Brad Johnston, with Chance Messer getting the two-point conversion on a pass from Hunt

G. Elder then scored on a nine-yard pass play. Brother Sage Elder scored the two point conversion on another pass from Hunt.

The final TD in the first quarter was on a 25-yard pass play as Hunt again connected with G. Elder. The two-point conversion was run in by Jayd Jennings.

The second quarter started with Hunt completing a pass to Johnston for a 19-yard touchdown. Hunt’s attempt to run the ball himself for the two-point conversion was no good.
