It was a battle of contrasting offensive styles in Thursday’s Dothan-Central of Phenix City top 10 battle at Rip Hewes Stadium.
On one side was Central’s mostly-pass oriented, big-play attack. The other was Dothan’s grind-it-out running game.

They also matched Dothan’s first score in the first half. “We battled,” Central head coach Patrick Nix said. “Give Dothan a lot of credit. They are a good football team. They are very physical and they did a good job. Offensively, we made a lot of plays.
Dothan’s offense amassed 298 yards rushing as it spread the attack behind Raymon Blackmon, Octavious Thomas, Tamarion Peterson, Zack Walker and AJ Alexander. The Wolves completed just one pass in three attempts for 33 yards. The Wolves tied it on the ensuing series with an eight-play, 80-yard drive. Blackmon capped the possession with a 6-yard scoring run. Wesley Farmer booted the extra-point off the hold of Adam Watford to make it 7-7 with 11:26 left in the second quarter.
Dothan, behind its single wing offense, scored three times in the second half, but Central answered after the first two to stay two steps ahead of the Wolves
