HOUSTON DAILY JOURNAL Bears down Parkview By JAMES TIDWELL Journal Staff Writer For the second time in the young football season, a county squad found itself on opposing sidelines from state power Parkview as Housfon County traveled north to face the Panthers. The Bears were hoping to return home with a clean county sweep over Parkview, after Warner Robins crushed the Panthers 30-3 in the Demons’ season opener at the Georgia Dome. But after jumping ahead by 10 points, it looked like Parkview would have no problem winning its home opener. The Bears had other ideas, however, as they stormed back with 20 unanswered points for a 20-10 victory in the Big Orange Jungle. Houston County improves to 3-1, while the Panthers drop to 1-2. Bears running back D.J. Dobson powered the offense as the senior rushed for 150 yards in the first half and senior running back Eric O’Neal added a pair of touchdowns. Houston County put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter as O’Neal scored on a 3-yard run with 4:18 remaining in the game for a 20-10 advantage. The Bears offense moved the ball 80 yards on the scoring drive as they ate up nearly nine and a half minutes off the Eagles slam Jones County By JAMES TIDWELL Journal Staff Writer Northside rolled into Jones County and walked away with an easy 45-0 shutout victory over the Greyhounds. Eagles quarterback Marques Ivory led the Northside offense with two touchdown passes and one touchdown run as Northside remained undefeated at 4-0. Ivory finished 8-of-ll pass ing for 140 yards. Northside backup quarterback Joe Scott was able to move the ball with ease as well as he completed 6-7 passes for 93 yards and one touchdown. Nick Bass caught a pair of touchdown passes and Tracey Lawrence caught the final Eagles score. As potent as the Northside offense proved to be, the defense proved even more effective as the Eagles held Jones County to 67 total yards, including -nine rush ing yards on 20 attempts. Northside finished with 400 total yards, including 177 rushing yards on 33 car ries. The Greyhounds were also hampered by 12 penalties for 94 yards. Northside place kicker Devon Pike got Northside EDGES From page iB Scott’s offense was at its strongest as the game moved on, driving 10 plays with three first downs. Perry saw, Jackson succeed more times than once on fourth down in the first half, so, with 4th and-4 from the 24, it was the home club’s turn to go for it. Fullback Brandon Golden had eight yards in him to keep a touchdown in sights. On second and long, Hayward completed a throw to Akeen Felder on the 8. From there Davis blasted off left tackle for his first touch down. Golden carried off right guard to tie the game 21-21 at 6:57 remaining. Jackson was more about the big play, and with a kick off return to the Perry 49, the Red Devils needed just three snaps to reclaim the lead. Quarterback Brad Lunsford, without his big-time receiv er John Keye, completed a pass in the middle to the 35. Lamarcus Strickland, owner of one touchdown already, sped to the right corner and hauled in No. 2 at the 5:36 mark. See PANTHERS, page 6B clock.
