Dobyns-Bennett’s Paul Slaughter became a marked man after blocking two punts against Sullivan South earlier this season. Despite the special attention, Slaughter was it again in the Tribe’s win over Volunteer.
Midway through the first quarter, Slaughter broke free and blocked a Falcon punt deep in Volunteer territory. Not content with just the block, Slaughter picked up the loose pigskin and scooted two yards to the end zone to give the Indians a 14-0 lead on their way to an easy 42-0 victory.
“Paul’s got a knack for finding his way to the punter,” said Dobyns-Bennett head coach Graham Clark. “Even when he doesn’t get there, he’s occupied one or two guys long enough they effectiveness is limited on punt coverage.”
The Farm Bureau Insurance of Sullivan County Dobyns-Bennett Special Teams Player of the Week Award is the second of the season for Slaughter.
