Homer trailed 35-0 at halftime thanks to three first-quarter touchdown run by Barrow’s Travis Adams, who scored from 14, 7 and 3 yards out. Adams finished with 74 grounds yards, picking up nearly 10 yards a carry, while Barrow teammate Benjamin Heather torched Homer with 134 yards and two touchdown runs.
