Winning games on the road can be tough in football. Landrum, however,

traveled to Traveler’s Rest on Friday night, Aug. 26, and did just that, picking up a 28-14 victory.
The win was far from perfect, as the Cardinals had to overcome four first half turnovers, but the win was revealing.
“We came out with a victory and we were able to see some things to improve our team for next week,” Landrum head coach Russell Mahaffey said. “I’m real proud of our team for that win.”
Brandon Cannon dominated in the game. The senior threw for 192 yards and ran for 161 yards. He ran for three touchdowns and threw one.
And the best news for Cardinal fans after that is that the senior quarterback felt this wasn’t the best he could do.
“He told me after the game that he felt like he could’ve done much better,” Mahaffey said.
Cannon ran in an 11-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Landrum and Traveler’s Rest finished 7-7 at the half.
In the second half, however, Cannon and the Cardinals took over. In the third quarter Cannon hit Peyton McCarter for a 22-yard touchdown strike and then the senior quarterback ran in one from six yards out.
He added one more touchdown on the ground in the fourth quarter to close out the victory.
The Cardinals won a tough one on the road and will now turn their attention to Chesnee this Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at home
“We’re looking forward to the opportunity to work this week and get better,” Mahaffey said.
