POWERS From page iB 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 SHUTS From page iB 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 f IT'S. c-HOOTc, LITTLE WfT "N 7 ■ PEUETS>. n% MARMIE V*. J - I Dls| Universal Press Syndicate 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.

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. rail ■ m jLWm i _ 1 ENI/Gary Harmon A Bear defender works to bring down a Coffee County runner.

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.

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. 183-495; Regina Bryant 488 • Senior Mixed Fall High Scores: Lloyd Britt 221 -571; Charles Tucker 208-574; Leona Fountain 184-479; Marlee Shook 172; Marge Riley 464 • Gold Cup’s Finest High Scores: Renee Lethco 223- 590; Judy Harris 211; Shirley Pallini 535 • Wednesday Wonders High Scores: Tony Carter 226- 536; Tony Healy 222; Rodney Mines 544; Carolyn Hildenbrand 210-522; Deanna Mines 179; Kitty Rummel 503 • Happy Hour High Scores: Joe Pallini 141- 205; Ruth Ann Neil 140-178 Robins Air Force Base • Charity League High Scores: David McClellan 257- Tony Colbert 237- 637; Maria Branch 227-580; Juli Sumner 176; Sylvia DelHoyes 488 • Women's Lib High Scores: Laurie McAlister 214-561; April Mitchell 201-503 • OSC High Scores: Wild Kat Dicicco 206-542; Di McNamara 187; Diane Hart 491 • Tuesday Peterson Point High Scores: Corey Jackson 258- Chris Davis 255; Corey Jackson 653 • AFRC Mixed High Scores; Joseph Miller 245; Duane Hall 237-620; Steve Wheeler 631; Debbie Hall ISO -492; Willa Martin 178-500 • Intramurals High Scores: Todd Manning 256-724; Brian Hrezo 238-636; Tammy Reed 190-511; Glenda Manning 166-479 • Early Friday Mixed High Scores: GOAT Carter Jr. 278-629; Randy Helmick 224- 618; Allison Anderson 212-546 • RYA Junior-Senior High Scores: Andy Payton 199; Erik Figueroa 176-493; Walter Shutter 513; Ashley Charget 177; Cassie Stasel 172-471; Amanda Lethco 492
