Green scores from the one,
Pike kicks the extra point
and Northside leads 14-0
after six minutes, 40 seconds
of play.
Ironically, it was the pass
that failed the Bulldogs in
their fourth down attempt,
and it was the pass that gave
them their only touchdown
of the game, a 79-yard throw
from Gregory McCrary Jr. to
Kevin Hobbs.
Hobbs took the ball at mid
field and outran the defense
for the score, to pull Mt.
Zion to within touchdown.
McCrary’s pass attempt for
the two-point conversion
kept Northside ahead, 14-6.
Nt. Zion never got closer
to the Northside goal than
33 yards for the remainder
of the game.
Not so for the Eagles,
quarterback Marques Ivory
showed Bulldogs defense he
could air out the ball too.
Ivory didn’t throw an incom
plete pass until the third
quarter. By then he was
nine-for-nine with 153 yards
and two touchdowns.
His second completion of
the game was to Nick Bass, a
41-yarder that set up Xavier
Hawkins’ one-yard touch
down run. Pike hit the extra
point again and Northside

chasing down quarterback
Santez Howard on third
down, Perry got a punt on
the Jaguar 44.
Lasseter had to punt again,
this time for a spot on the 13.
On the first offensive play,
the football popped loose,
and Kenny Davis recovered
on the 14.
Kenny had three carries
up to the 1. The Spalding
defense was set to stop him
on the left side, so the senior
back found plenty of room
on the right to score at 5:41
of the first quarter.
Kanorris Davis was all
over a third-down screen
pass to put Spalding in
another punting situation.
Perry fielded the kick on the
50, but the first play sent the
Panthers back two yards.
Hayward called his own
number on second down. He
faked to the fullback, then
scrambled his way around
right tackle. Receiver Trey
Smith freed his quarterback
with a block upfield, and
Hayward had the touchdown
at 1:10.
A foul on the Panthers
after the score forced Guin
to try the PAT from 34 yards
out. He had the distance and
the accuracy to make it a 14-
0 lead.
Spalding’s best drive of
the night came in the sec
ond quarter after the visi
tors recovered a fumble on
their own 27. The Jags con
verted on third down three
IS
entered the second quarter
up 21-6.
Northside added two more
scores in the second quarter.
The first topped the Xavier
Hawkins show.
After the Eagles took
possession on their own 46
after the Bulldogs 23-yard
punt, Hawkins carried the
ball five consecutive times
for 44yards, until Jordan
dived over from the two for
his second touchdown of the
game.
To prove that the Eagles
didn’t need good field posi
tion to point up points,
Northside’s last scoring
drive of the half started on
its own sixteen.
Inspired by Green’s 39-
yard run and Ivory’s 17-yard
pass to Kevyn Cooper, the
Eagles needed only 1:11 to
up the score 35-6 after Ivory
hit Bass in the end zone and
Pike drilled another point
after.
Inspired by Ben Hicks’
three sacks, the Northside
defense kept the Mt. Zion
offense befuddled, bewil
dered and bedeviled.
The Bulldogs finished the
game with negative three
yards rushing and eight first
downs. Although Mt. Zion
amassed 152 yards through
the air, 79 came from one
play.
Meanwhile, Northside
used the third quarter to add
times with a 13-yard sweep,
a catch over the middle into
Perry ground for the first
time and a run up the mid
dle to the Panther 27.
There was a pass towards
the end zone caught out of
bounds, but Robby Taylor
and Jay Golden read anoth
er third-down screen on the
30.
The Jaguars managed to
earn one more drive before
halftime starting at the
Perry 37. They tried an
option on third down, but
fumbled it away to Stephen
Calhoun.
Sophomore linebacker
Michael Walker started the
second half by catching a roll
ing Howard on third down
for a seven-yard loss. Perry
took the punt on the 45,
and with one snap Hayward
and company made it a 21-0
game.
Hayward did a straight
drop back and fired the
ball straight to Felder for a
touchdown. It was Felder’s
third scoring catch in the
last two games.
“He can sling it, now,” said
Scott about his quarterback.
“Casey just continues to get
better. Akeen Felder’s con
tinuing to grow. As a foot
ball team, we take strides
throughout the year to get
better.”
Kenny Davis, on defense,
had about four tackles during
Spalding’s next two drives.
With the help of a personal
foul, the Jags returned to
Panther territory on the 35.
But Kanorris Davis threw

to its impressive numbers.
Ivory hit Cooper for a 24-
yard touchdown pass. The
extra point kick missed, but
Pike got another chance
after Jacobi Rodriquez took
over behind the center and
ran for a three-yard score.
Cooper’s touchdown recep
tion ended Northside’s open
ing drive in the second half
that saw Ivory hit Othman
Falah with a 16-yard pass.
Northside’s Charles
McKenzie recovered Mt.
Zion kickoff oomph at
the Bulldogs 23 to set up
Northside’s final touch
down.
Mt. Zion looked to have
stopped a Northside drive
for the first time that didn’t
involve a fumble.
The Eagles fumbled the
ball three times in the game
and never once punted,
but facing fourth and six
from the Bulldogs seven,
the Eagles attempted a field
goal.
The 24-yard kick was wide
left, but Mt. Zion was called
for running into the kicker.
The gaff put the ball fourth
and two from the Bulldogs
three, and Rodriguez outran
the defense to the goal for
the score.
His touchdown run capped
the scoring for the Eagles
and Northside went on to
close at the game for a 47-6
win.
them in the other direction
with a third-down sack on
the 41.
His other sack came early
in the fourth quarter and
took away nine yards.
The Panthers’ own penal
ty problems had them start
ing on their own 5, but a
15-yard face mask put them
out of the hole. Hayward, on
3rd-and-19 from the 40, saw
Felder with one-on-one cov
erage and put the ball in his
hands for a 50-yard pickup
at the Jaguar 10.
Guin hit his first field goal
of 34 yards with 6:12 left to
play (24-0).
Guin’s second field goal
was set up by a big special
teams tackle by Calhoun
inside the 5 and a fumble
recovery by Walker. At the
3:41 mark, Guin was good
from 27 out to finish the
scoring.
Perry’s region, 4-AAA, is
matched up with Region 1-
AAA for the state tourna
ment first round. Northeast-
Macon, which finished third
to Perry in the south sub
region, beat Mary Persons of
the north sub-region 35-6 in
Forsyth (the second time the
Raiders beat the Bulldogs in
2006).
That means Perry gets the
No. 3 seed from the region
in the state bracket and will
take on the second place team
from 1-AAA on the road this
coming Friday. That team
is Cairo High School, which
beat Crisp County 34-7 to
break a second-place tie
going into their game.

the fourth quarter, it was
Loving’s turn to show off his
speed as he went 47 yards
down the sidelines to the
Houston 43. Only Dedrick
Early was able to save a
touchdown. But Coffee cov
ered a lot more ground on
the next play as quarter
back Daniel Anderson went
up top and found Demario
Bennett on the fly for 40
yards to the 3.
Loving, with a power I
set in front of him, coasted
in for the touchdown. Since
the Trojans missed an early
PAT kick, Anderson went
to the air and made the
two-point conversion for a
28-21 lead.
The Houston offense had
just one more first down in
two possessions and failed
twice on fourth-down con
versions. Loving had seven
carries on a Coffee drive
that took up six minutes of
the final quarter.
The game saw three run
ning backs net over 100
yards on the ground. Loving,
No. 3 in the region coming
in, had 142 yards on 21 car
ries. For Houston County,
O’Neal, the leading rusher
of 1-AAAAA, had 118 yards
and two touchdowns on 15
rushes while Martez King,
the former starting quar
terback, gained 121 yards
on 10 carries.
The difference in the
game was Anderson and the
Trojan passing game. Aside
from his big completion on
the fourth-quarter scoring
drive, Anderson only had
three other passes caught.
All three of those went for
touchdowns and covered
139 yards.

Coffee County scored first
on a six-play, 60-yard drive
in the first quarter. Loving
broke a 19-yard run into the
red zone for first down, but
the Trojans almost messed
things up when Anderson
threw an option pitch out of
bounds on the 25.
On 3rd-and-16, Anderson
eluded a rush and threw
a fade caught in the left
corner of the end zone. The
PAT kick missed wide left,
so the score stayed 6-0 at
the 5:49 mark.
Houston answered right
away with a drive of 70yards
in six plays. Quarterback
Jeff Thompson went to the
air on the first play and hit
senior tight end Ben Collins
for 24 yards into Trojan ter
ritory.
A penalty put the Bears
back on their own 49, but
on second down O’Neal
went left tackle and put
on additional moves in the
secondary for 31 yards to
the CC 22. Two plays later,
with Jimmy Bailey lead
ing the way on the offen
sive line, O’Neal scored
from 11 yards out. Michael
Thompson broke the tie for
a 7-6 lead at 3:44.
The Houston defense over
came a big kickoff return of
40 yards as Princeton Dean
led gang-tackling efforts
on Loving to force a punt.
The offense would pad the
lead to 14-6 on just a five
play series that covered 72
yards.
It was King’s inside
reverse carry that took care
of most of the yards, 63
to be exact, to the Trojan
7. On 3rd-and-goal, and on
the first play of the second
period, fullback Anthony
Harris led a right-tackle
run for O’Neal and a four
yard touchdown. Michael

HOUSTON DAILY JOURNAL
Thompson was again good
on the PAT kick.
Anderson had 41 rushing
yards as a dangerous and
quick runner on the keeper.
His first big gain put his
team into Houston terri
tory and set up his second
touchdown pass. On second
down from the 48, Anderson
found his receiver sprinting
open down field and con
nected at 10:06 until half
time. The visitors made this
PAT to get back within one
at 14-13.
For the game, the Bears
had a total of three failed
attempts to convert fourth
down. The first came in the
second quarter and stopped
a good drive that saw anoth
er Thompson-to-Collins
connection. This one went
for 34 yards and included
interference by Coffee.
The Trojans stole away
the lead for halftime, 20-14,
by stopping another Bear
series and taking a punt on
their own 34. From there,
Anderson threw his third
touchdown pass of the half,
finding Bennett open on the
move with 1:15 showing on
the clock.
Houston County used a
one-play scoring drive to
go ahead 21-20 halfway
through the third quarter.
Linebacker Chris Prewett
deflected Anderson’s third
down pass, and King
returned the ensuing punt
28 yards to the Houston
49.
Jeff Thompson hit O’Neal
in the flat. O’Neal had two
defenders on him after the
catch, but stayed on his feet
and broke away from both
of them.
It was nothing but open
space from there. The play
gave the home quarterback
109 passing yards.
