Corben Hall Rushes for 285 Yards in Doddridge County Playoff Win

Doddridge County’s high-powered offense proved unstoppable on Friday night, as the Bulldogs secured a 52-16 victory over Lincoln in the first round of the Class AA playoffs.

The Bulldogs wasted little time asserting control in this rematch of their October 31 meeting, which Doddridge won 28-14. By the end of the first quarter, the home team had already built a 13-3 lead, extending that margin to 32-10 by halftime. The relentless pace of the Doddridge attack effectively kept the Cougars at arm’s length throughout the contest.

Running back Corben Hall was the catalyst for the Bulldogs, delivering a standout performance that saw him rack up 285 rushing yards and three touchdowns on just 16 carries. His ability to break through the defensive line provided the momentum the team needed to pull away early.

The offensive production was far from a one-man show. Brandon Davis contributed 103 yards on 14 carries, crossing the goal line twice. Evan Cross added to the scoring tally with a rushing touchdown of his own, while also connecting with Aaron Glaspell for a 10-yard scoring strike. Tommy Walters-Hickman rounded out the rushing production with a touchdown, highlighting a balanced and deep offensive rotation for the 9-2 Bulldogs.

Despite the lopsided score, Lincoln’s offense managed to find pockets of success. Connor Rice carried the ball 32 times for 170 yards and a touchdown, anchoring the Cougars’ efforts on the ground. Cade Mooney provided a spark with an 81-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, and Lukas Sostheim added a 24-yard field goal to round out the scoring for the 5-6 Cougars.

The victory advances Doddridge County into the next round of the West Virginia secondary school playoffs. The team now turns its attention to Frankfort, which enters the matchup as the top seed in the region. The winner of that game will move one step closer to the state championship, a goal that requires navigating a bracket that has already seen significant movement during this opening weekend of postseason play.
