Senior running back Lawrence Autry put on a show Friday night at Dragon Stadium, slicing through Bartlett’s defense with speed, power, and precision to lead Collierville to a 38-20 victory. The Tulane commit accounted for four touchdowns — three on the ground and one through the air — as the Dragons improved to 4-2 overall and 2-0 in Region 8 play.

Autry’s highlight reel included a pair of 6-yard touchdown runs, a tough goal-line plunge from the 1-yard line, and a game-changing 36-yard receiving score that ultimately sealed the win. His explosive performance was backed by a dominant offensive line and a sharp game plan that kept Bartlett on its heels all night.

The Dragons struck first on their opening drive when senior quarterback Cayson Stanford connected with Memphis commit Marshall Smith Jr. on a deep pass that turned into the night’s first touchdown. Shortly after, Hayden Hollenbeck drilled a 47-yard field goal to extend the lead. Hollenbeck was a perfect 5-for-for on extra point attempts.

From there, it was the Autry show.

On the defensive side, Collierville’s front seven made life difficult for the Panthers. Josh Gale and Jayden Majors each recorded double-digit tackles, anchoring a unit that consistently disrupted Bartlett’s rhythm and limited big plays.

Next up, the Dragons are back at home for their 2025 Homecoming matchup against Craigmont. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. Friday night in “The Ville.”
