Chiefs open season with 30-8 win

By John Smithson

The North Myrtle Beach Chiefs had to wait through a postponement and two trips to Goose Creek before beating the Gators 30-8 Monday.

It was worth the wait.

The Chiefs and Gators played a slow first quarter before Wilson ran straight up the middle for a touchdown and 7-0  lead on the first possession of the game.

Early in the second quarter the Gators took advantage of a Chiefs snap into the end zone for a safety and 7-2 score.

Lamonte Smith’s interception made it 14-2  a short time later.

Following the Chiefs kickoff David Porter took off on an 80-yard run and the Gators trailed 14-8.

Three plays after the Gators kickoff the Chiefs Will McNeely scored on a 60 yard play and 21-8 Chiefs lead. He scored again for a 27-8 score.

The Chiefs added a late field goal and won 30-8.

McNeely’s three scores and over 230 yards on the ground were impressive.

The Chiefs defense was swarming and did not give up.

The Chiefs face Darlington on Friday.
