2B SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 2006 TIME From page iB against Peach. “It’s something we have to do,” said Way. “Right now we don’t have the persoii nel to try to run the ball 95 percent of the time. But We have three or four veterans who can catch the football. So we need to spread things out and keep it loose. “Our running game wafe shaky at times (Thursday). It seemed for every two steps forward we went one step back. We had too many pen alties and hobbled snaps, but we have a long way to go.” The first quarter ended with no points on the board. Antwan Hamilton, a senior wingback, took care of that with m 59-yard touchdown run off right tackle at 9:42 of the second period. Josh Carswell, a senior vying for that starting tail - back job, had a 21-yard ruii up the middle in the next Demon series. But it was A series of penalty flags later that put the home team at 2nd-and-23. Peach read a pass in the flat to stop thti drive on 3rd-and-5. The Peach Trojans them selves are looking to replace a Division I quarterback and receiver from their champi onship squad. The Trojan offense had some trouble with the Demon secondary late in the second quarter. Safety Xavier Jackson knocked one player’s helmet off after a first-down catch. That same receiver would catch a ball over the middle tipped by Jackson, but Tim Green caught up with him to force a fumble. Ryan Reid fell on the football in the end zone for a touchback. Wright had a couple of com pletions during a two-min ute drill series, C.J. Jackson catching an out pattern up to the 50.

Certain things have to be done ... that’s what our hopes are.” For Rodrigues, a move to receiver means learning the routes, making blocks and shaking defenders who will try to stop him at the line of scrimmage. For Ivory, what stands out most about him is size and strength. During Northside’s Ironman compe tition during summer work outs, had a bench press of 350 pounds and an incline of 310 pounds. “He’s a sharp, intelligent He said it ... “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to drive for Evernham Motorsports.

The third quarter was turned over to the junior varsity players. On a 67-yard 3rd-and-13 pass play, Peach County tied the game score 7-7 at the 7:44 mark. That didn’t sit too well with the first-string defense on the sidelines. It was only with 25 seconds left in the third at the JV redeemed itself on a 21-yard touchdown run by Frankie Jackson. The inside-reverse play put the Demons ahead 14-7. Stanley Warren made a statement for the young defense with an interception on Peach’s next snap. The varsity boys were back on the field for the fourth, and it was Roderick Rose and Josh Palmer sparking the defensive play with a third-down sack. The offense wasted no time as Wright connected with Richardson on a post pattern from 39 yards out. With 4:15, Peach County scored its first varsity touch down on a 31-yard pass play. guy,” said Nix. “He’s got a strong arm. He’s certainly not the runner that Jacobi is. We lose some mobility there. When you add both of them together, there are good things there.” Nix said the health factor is a key for Ivory. Another concern for the Eagle offense as a whole is the need to retool some positions around the quarterback. Nix said only one starting offensive lineman returns from last year, plus the coach lost his backfield tandem of Byron Hunter and David Everett. After Rodrigues, the receiver group is well stocked with Nick Bass and Kevin Cooper.
