Porters Chapel’s Alton Burden took the opening kickoff 80 yards for a score and the atmosphere was electric.

But it was downhill from that point as PCA was overcome by its own mistakes in a 25-10 loss to visiting Benton Academy on Friday.

But one play was emblematic of a lost evening as the game swung away from the Eagles (4-2). Late in the third quarter and PCA leading 10-7, a shotgun snap sailed over Jonah Masterson’s head and Benton recovered at the PCA 13-yard line.
