Thanks. My mistake. Wade was nine of 10 for 219 yards and three TDs.

I think the 4th period stats for Meigs are incorrect. Vanaman is no longer on the team and was not kicking in the 4th. Both TD's in the 4th period were by Trae Hood from quarterback Cody Bartrum. Kicks were Josh Schwabe. Hood also had a long TD run from Bartrum that was called back on a penalty.

Just went by the Meigs program which said No. 42 was Tanner and No. 5 was listed as Trey and No. 11 Jordan. Sorry.
