After it had lost two games to cancellations to start the season, the T.R. Miller "B" football team finally opened its season on the field with an 8-6 win over W.S. Neal in East Brewton Monday.
W.S. Neal, which also made its season debut, got a 35-yard touchdown run from Nate Sheffield with five minutes left in the first half for its only score of the game.
The Blue Eagles were able to make that 6-0 edge hold up until the fourth quarter when T.R. Miller pulled even on a two-yard touchdown run by Seth Holland with six minutes left. Holland was able to add the two-point conversion on a run that provided the go-ahead and eventual winning margin.
T.R. Miller's next "B" game is Monday at Andalusia. W.S. Neal's next 'B" game is also Monday at Northview (Fla.).
