Bears roll over LHS 44-0
MT. JULIET -- Piling up 350 yards in total offense and never punting, Mt. Juliet clobbered Lebanon 44-0 Friday night in the 2012 season opener for both teams. Eleven different Bears carried the ball for 308 yards rushing as Mt. Juliet overcame an early fumble to score on seven consecutive possessions.

"No excuses, tonight the bottom line was the team we played tonight was bigger, stronger and faster than us," said LHS coach Troy Crane. "We were outmanned, but I'm very proud of our young men. They were put in some tough spots, we played a lot of young guys -- but I know they're giving me everything they've got."

Leading 7-0 after one period, Mt. Juliet scored on the first snap of the second quarter and finished the first half up 35-0.

Caleb Hopkins led the Bears with 91 yards rushing on five attempts, including a 22-yard TD run. He also hauled in a 42 yard scoring pass from Nolan Chowbay right before intermission.
