Cru Hall 2022 All-Region      II-AAA

Cru Hall was named to the Region II-AAA All-Region team, becoming the first Fountain Inn varsity football player to be recognized with the honor. 

Fury Drop Back to Back on the Road

After a poor performance at Crescent where the Fury lost 49-0, Fountain Inn was back on the road at Carolina this week. The Fury played better despite falling to the Trojans 20-7. Making his first start at quarterback due to injury, Caden Carnes rushed for 103 yards and scored the first varsity touchdown in Fountain Inn High history. Corbin Giles had a strong performance on defense registering 8 solo tackles and Shyheim Ellis recovered a fumble for the second game in a row. The Fury will travel to Pendleton this week.

Storms DErail Fury

Just as teams were set to take Fury Field on Friday Night, lightning storms forced Fountain Inn and Woodruff into an extended delay, kick-off was pushed back to 9:20. But the weather was only one obstacle for the young Fury team as they faced a ranked Woodruff squad coming off a big Week 0 upset.

The Wolverines struck first with a 10 play drive that ended in a 22-yd FG and a 3-0 lead. The Fury fumbled the ensuing kick-off and two plays later Woodruff led 10-0. By half Fountain Inn trailed 24 - 0 and the team had a pair of costly fumbles.

In a fast moving second half the Fury failed to score and fell to Woodruff 31-0.

Cru Hall and Terry Cunningham both notched 6 tackles and Bryce Bigley recovered a Woodruff botched punt and added a pair of catches for 20 yards to lead the Fury in receiving.

Fountain Inn will travel to Crescent on Friday.

Fury Host First Varisty Game

Friday, August 19th will go down in history as the first Friday night Varsity football game for the Fountain Inn Fury. The Fury hosted the West Oak Warriors before a packed home crowd at Fury Field.

The Warriors struck first connecting a 31 yard pass with an 11 yard TD run to take a 6-0 lead in the 1st quarter. Jake Hilliard blocked the ensuing PAT, but the starting DE for the Fury had to exit the game following that play due to injury. Hilliard had already been a menace to the West Oak offense with a pair of tackles for loss.

The score remained 6-0 into the 3rd quarter when Cru Hall broke free on a swing pass from Jack Criswell and raced 78 yards down to the Warrior one yard line. That set up a Hall 25 yard FG to cut the lead in half.

The Fury defense held strong, getting an interception from Zach Madden and Caden Carnes pouncing on a loose punt fumble to help keep the game close. Hall tied the game early in the 4th quarter with a 29 yard FG.

Both defenses went back and forth, holding the offenses in check. West Oak converted a 4th and 5 late which allowed them to drive into FG range with under a minute to play. The Warrior kick doinked off the left upright and through to seal a 9-6 Warrior victory.

The Fury will host Woodruff this coming Friday.
