Since so many players are
lined up outside, Way said
it is difficult to play a base
defense. The actual base this
week may be the nickel or
dime package that has five
to six defensive backs that
need to match up with all
the wideouts.
“You can’t do that too
much because it opens up
the running lanes,” said
Way. “We found out about
that last week against Tift
County trying to spread out.
They gashed us inside in
the first half. You can’t out
scheme them. You just have
to line up and play football,
whip a blocker and make a
tackle.
“Hopefully we learned
what not to do (at Tift
County). It is a little bit
similar. For both teams most

wasn’t very successful, and

that.

started after a Valdosta fum

“And Valdosta had the ball
inside the 10 twice in the first
half and came away with no
points,” said Johnson. “You
never can tell (in a rainy
game). One team might fum

When it rains it’s going to

When all things are dry

has the same kind of talent,
athleticism and football skills
one would expect with that
name.
“The first time I saw them
on film, I was thinking, ‘How

said Johnson. “They’ve had
a year where if they just

they would be in pretty good

Another question remains
on how Westside handled

the outcome could have gone
either way as Westside had

first downs and keep their

Not only does the Warner
Robins offense need to make
yards, first downs and time
of possession on Friday,
but it also needs to produce

liable to see anything.”
The one who has to be
catching the brunt of all
the Valdosta frustration is
Tomberlin, a former Lowndes
High head coach who ran
a championship program at
Washington County before
taking over Valdosta.
It may then look like a
longer transition period
than anyone expected. But
Johnson said the Wildcats
are still capable of beating
anyone at any time, and
Valdosta is in a region where
every team is a legitimate
contender.
“He’s just lost more than
his share,” said Johnson.
“I just hope it doesn’t turn
around this week. I think
coach Tomberlin is doing a
good job. It’s not like they’re
getting beat 45-0.
“Fundamentally, they are
pretty sound right now. The
wins will come if they keep
working.”

was against Warner Robins,
and each time a sub-region
title was on the line. It was
the point of the year then,
as it would be now, that a
team identity has formed
and players, especially new
starters, have developed into
their roles.
“Maybe some have pro
gressed further than others,
but I’m certainly pleased with
the way our guys have gone
about doing things,” said Nix.
“They’re certainly attentive
and focused on what we’re
trying to tell them. They’re
not always able to execute,
but they are trying to.”
It may be that the Eagles

points. Against Tift County,
the Demons had just a field
goal from the offensive unit
and a touchdown on a Tim
Green interception return.
It’s not the first Warner
Robins game in 2006 that
ended without an offensive
touchdown, the Sept. 8 loss
to Northside being an exam
ple.
There was the sudden
change in plans that moved
the game from Friday to
Saturday, but that disrupted
the routine for both teams.
“We just didn’t coach very
well, and we didn’t play very
well,” said Way about the
road loss. “In the first half
they really got after us, and
we didn’t give the effort we
needed to give in order to
win the ball game. In the
second half I thought our
kids played hard and we
bounced back.
“We had our chances, and
if you make a play here or
there you never know what
happens.”
Some of the missed oppor
tunities by the Demon
offense, Way pointed out,
were six dropped passes,
a couple of times when an
open receiver was missed
and numerous blocks that
weren’t maintained.
The biggest intangible
missing, the coach said, was
the intensity needed when
facing a former No. 1 ranked
team.
some adjustments this week
from former scouting reports
on Valdosta. Former coach
Rick Darlington ran a spread
offense while Tomberlin’s
main set is the I formation
with some spread. Johnson
said the defensive set is basi
cally the same, a 4-3.
“We feel they’ve been one
of the most balanced teams
in the region as far as run
ning and throwing,” said
Johnson. “Offensively, we
need to control the football.
We say that every week. They
are real fast on defense, and
that worries us.”
The Bears had their bye
week last weekend, and it
worked out to be a good one
for several reasons. For one,
the team didn’t have to worry
about playing in the stormy
conditions that passed over
most of Georgia on Friday.
“We were pretty beat up
coming out of Tift County,”
said Johnson about his last
game with the Blue Devils at
home on Oct. 19. “We prac
ticed last week and tried to
take it easy on the kids and
let them relax. Some of the
kids didn’t even practice.”

While Northside still needs
to clinch No. 1 on the B side
Friday, if that happens don’t
expect a rematch with North
Clayton.
North Clayton is now in

region at 3-2 with Mt. Zion-
