PORTSMOUTH — When Peyton Jackson left the game, the Fairland Dragons’ offense must have went with him.

The Dragons quarterback was 3-of-10 passing for 131 yards but did throw 2 interceptions in a 34-0 loss to the Portsmouth Trojans in an Ohio Valley Conference game on Friday.

Jackson left the game with 56 seconds left in the half with an apparent shoulder injury. Brycen Hunt and Kam Kitts ran the ball after taking snaps from center and Hunt finished the game in the second half.

Hunt was 4-of-7 passing for 20 yards and an interception. Steeler Leep caught 5 passes for 144 yards and Kitts had 2 catches for 86 yards.

Portsmouth quarterback Tyler Duncan was 18-of-26 for 293 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He ran 5 times for 30 yards and score.

Beau Hammonds ran 14 times for 76 yards and a TD asa the Trojans ran for 147 yards to give them 440 total yards.

Fairland (5-3, 2-3) only managed 27 yards rushing and 178 total yards.

Portsmouth (5-3, 3-2).

Hammonds gave Portsmouth a 7-0 lead with a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:59 left in the first quarter.

The lead went to 13-0 when Hammonds had an 8-yard scoring run with 11:33 to go in the half.
