Blytheville Chickasaws head coach Ben Fisher has talked for years about how his hometown team the Wynne Yellowjackets is an opponent that he has never beaten as a head coach. But Friday night, Fisher’s Chickasaws (2-2) defeated the YellowJackets (1-3), 37-7, at Haley Field, giving him his first victory over his old school. The game was delayed 20 minutes due to thunderstorms in the area but when the game finally kicked off the Chickasaws and the Yellowjackets fumbled on the first two plays of the game. Three plays later, Chickasaw senior quarterback Jaheim “PWee” Carter found classmate receiver Corey Weatherspoon, and Weatherspoon wiggled around until finally finding an open ground. He took the ball 83 yards for a Chickasaw touchdown with 10:34 in the first quarter. The PAT was blocked, giving the Chicks a 6-0 lead. On the Yellowjackets’ next drive, BHS junior safety Willie Bell knocked the ball out of Yellowjackets junior quarterback James Holden Parker’s hand and the Chicks recovered the ball on the BHS 48-yard line with 8:53 remaining. The Chicks only needed three plays before Carter found junior receiver Amani McChristian for a 33-yard touchdown pass down the sideline. The PAT was blocked, giving the Chicks a 12-0 lead. The Chicks led the WHS 12-0 at the end of the first quarter. At the 8:09 mark in the second quarter, Carter pushed the pack in for a two-yard keeper to give the Chicks an 18-0 lead. With six seconds remaining before the half the Yellowjackets got on the scoreboard with a one-yard run by senior Allen Watson. The PAT was good and the Yellowjackets went into the half trailing the Chickasaws by 11 points. The Chickasaws had 32 total rushing yards and Carter was 4-for-6 with 142 yards passing with two touchdowns. The YellowJackets had no passing yards and 124 total rushing yards.
