Celina Can’t Survive Dainger(field), Streak Ends
Two major streaks were erased thanks to an 18-point flurry in the second quarter by visiting Daingerfield. Daingerfield held on for a 28-20 victory over Celina to hand the Bobcats its first home loss in a decade and at the same time, snapping Celina’s 45-game winning streak.
Tyler Boyd got the visitors on the scoreboard first with a 40-yard run to give the Tigers a 7-0 lead. Celina’s Troy McCartney, who rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns in the loss, would score on a 5-yard run to put the hosts on the scoreboard to tie the game at seven.
In the second quarter, the Tigers embarked on a scoring explosion. Julius Hurndon returned a fumble 45 yards to pay dirt to give Daingerfield the lead. The Tigers would add to the lead with two Koko Smith touchdowns runs of 64 and 4 yards as the Tigers took a 25-7 halftime lead.
Celina’s Austin Carey led the comeback with a 9-yard run before Daingerfield responded with a 27-yard field goal. McCartney scored his second touchdown in the fourth quarter from 1-yard, but it wasn’t enough for the Bobcats.
