LIBERTY — Amite County quarterback Quavonte Adams provided both of the Trojans’ touchdowns as they rallied from an early deficit to defeat the reeling Jefferson County Tigers 14-8 Friday night.

Adams scored on a 63-yard run near the end of the first quarter and threw a three-yard touchdown pass to Darrion Robinson with 6:06 to go in the third quarter, which proved to be the game-winning score.

Reynolds scored on a one-yard run and ran in on the two-point conversion with 6:04 to go in the first quarter to Jefferson County an 8-0 lead. James Claiborne was the team’s leading receiver. No statistics were provided for Claiborne.
