PIEDMONT — In 37 years of coaching, Westside’s Ted Luckadoo has seen a lot. But after his Ram defense forced four consecutive turnovers — two returned for touchdowns - at Wren on Friday, he still couldn’t believe what he’d seen.

“That was amazing,” Luckadoo said. “I was getting ready to put the offense out there and something else would happen. Those kids just wanted to get ‘em a touchdown.”

The unusual chain of events helped the Rams knock off the Golden Hurricanes, 38-21, to give Luckadoo his 200th career coaching victory.

“It’s a good win,” Luckadoo said about the milestone. “I never thought about 200, I quit worrying about that a long time ago. I just wanted the kids to win a football game.”

The Rams (3-5, 1-1 region) rewarded their coach by jumping out to a 24-7 halftime lead behind a blocked punt by Justin Pressley that was returned for a score by Joe Reed and a pair of Brandon McCann touchdowns, including a 91-yarder to Demetrious Swinger on the offense’s first play from scrimmage.

But the turnover spree on four straight Hurricane possessions crushed the comeback hopes of Wren (2-6, 0-2 region).

“It’s demoralizing for a high school kid, it’s demoralizing for a high school coach,” Wren coach Jeff Tate said. “This was probably one of our poorest execution nights that we’ve had in any game. I don’t know that we took a step forward this week. We may have taken a step backwards overall.”

It started when Wren quarterback Austin McCaskill threw an interception deep in the Rams’ territory that was picked off by linebacker Cody Queen and returned for a score.

“I almost dropped it,” Queen said. “He threw it right at me, I was reading his eyes the whole way. I almost ran out of gas around the 15-yard line.”

The next Wren drive saw Swinger intercept another McCaskill pass and return it 60 yards for a score to make it 38-7. The ensuing kickoff was fumbled and recovered by Zay Smith, who after a Ram turnover on downs, picked off Wren for the fifth time in the game.

Wren rallied a bit behind a 30-yard touchdown run by running back Raymond Rogers, who rushed for another one in the first half, and a 6-yard touchdown catch by D.J. Brown. The Hurricanes also held the Rams out of the end zone offensively in the half, which Luckadoo had an explanation for letting up with such a big lead.

“Our offense did a lot of good things, we just got lax in the fourth quarter,” Luckadoo said. “We haven’t been in this position before this year so we got to learn how to finish.”

But the game was marred by penalties and personal fouls that left both coaches disappointed after the game.

“The (personal fouls) that were called against us I’m not going to tolerate,” Tate said. “I’ve got their numbers and I will handle it."
