The same duo hooked up for a successful two-point conversion and the Jackets held an 8-0 lead.

But Pocahontas responded a few minutes later with a big play of their own. Warriors QB Wyatt Workman completed to WR Stephen Simmons for a 45-yard TD pass near the end of the first 140906PCHSFootball001smquarter. A two-point conversion attempt failed but Moorefield’s lead was cut to 8-6.
