Indian Land hosted Andrew Jackson for its homecoming game on Friday at "The Reservation."

The Warriors made a strong comeback after falling behind 14-0 to start the half, but a costly turnover and some untimely defensive letdowns led to a 35-12 loss, and a 1-3 start to the season.

Andrew Jackson started the game off strong and seemed to be in control, putting plays together and driving down the field. All that changed as the Warriors' Ted Boston intercepted a pass from quarterback Volunteer Daniel Pardue and returned it 42 yards for a touchdown, opening the scoring for Indian Land near the end of the first half.

Indian Land opened up the second half with Josh Camarire finding Justin Gordon for a four-yard touchdown pass. From there, the Volunteers took control of the game and outscored the Warriors 21-0 the rest of the to even their record at 2-2.

The fourth quarter opened with a Deon Sayles fumble in Andrew Jackson territory after Indian Land had been driving the ball down the field. The Volunteers mounted a large drive of their own that was fueled by Indian Land's inability to stop them on third down.

Trent Flowers led the Volunteer ground attack, and finished with 124 yards on 22 carries and a touchdown.

The Warriors, now 1-3, were led by Sayles, who returned from an injury and carried 14 times for 55 yards. Breyon Williams ran seven times for 50 yards.

Camarire completed 10-21 passes for 153 yards and a touchdown.

The offense was much improved from last week, when the Warriors could do very little to move the ball against Pageland Central .

Indian Land will travel to North Central this week before returning home Friday, Oct. 3, to take on Chesterfield.
