Stuttgart 52, Monticello 28

MONTICELLO — Stuttgart stayed perfect with a 52–28 road win, riding four touchdown passes from quarterback Cain Price and four total scores by running back TayQuan Hall. The Ricebirds struck first, and after Monticello answered, Price found Jeremiah Jackson on a 30‑yard strike and later hit Hall on a 65‑yard catch‑and‑run to build a 21–13 halftime edge.

Monticello opened the third quarter behind Jackson Hines, who powered three short touchdown runs out of the Wildcat, and workhorse back Joseph Accelus, who piled up yards all night and added a 48‑yard score. Hines’s two‑point toss to tight end Jaxon Rawls cut the margin to 28–21 before Stuttgart answered twice.

Stuttgart’s defense and special teams flipped the game. Keaton Byers forced a fumble to set up Hall’s long TD, then broke up a fourth‑down pass and later hauled in a 27‑yard touchdown. Linebacker Cordaro Berry recovered a bad snap to spark a Jeremiah Thomas scoring run, and kicker Dawson McKelvey added a late field goal and went perfect on PATs. The clincher came when a kickoff was jarred loose and Hall cashed in with a short shovel‑pass TD.

Price finished with four scoring throws (Jackson, Hall twice, Byers) and added yards with his legs. Hall delivered two rushing touchdowns and two receiving, while Thomas tacked on another rushing score. For the Billies, Accelus churned out 200‑plus rushing yards, Hines ran for three touchdowns and Rawls’s conversion grab highlighted a gritty, spirited effort in front of the home crowd.
