The Dawgs responded to the opening score with a 32-yard run by sophomore Jimmie Miller and even the score at 6.

In the second quarter, Cookson connected with senior Julian Walker for a 63-yard touchdown and with junior Eric Wilcox for a 56-yard touchdown.
Morrisville head coach Jim Gober acknowledged not knowing much going into the matchup with Boys’ Latin as they have not scrimmaged yet this year.
It marked the second-straight year that Morrisville opened the season with a win.
