TJC is known for its baseball prowess, winning six World Series titles, but it was the football team that pitched a shutout on Saturday.
Dontavius Burrows caused an early safety and former Gilmer star Malik Williams had two interceptions in the fourth quarter as the Apaches defeated Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, 5-0, in a Southwest Junior College Football Conference game at Red Robertson Field in Miami, Oklahoma.
In the days of high-scoring offensive explosions on the gridiron, Tyler Junior College and NEO went old school with stonewall defenses.
The win moved TJC to 2-2 on the season and 1-1 in SWJCFC play. The Golden Norsemen fell to 2-3 and 0-3.
