because on Northside’s sec
ond play from scrimmage,
Lee County’s defense chose
to chase Eagles quarterback
Marques Ivory, but he had
made a toss to Green who
raced 65 yards for the score.
Kicker Devon Pike hit the
first of five out of six extra
points to put Northside up
7-0.
Lee County tossed the
ball around some in its pos
session, since the Trojans
weren’t running anywhere,
but the subsequent punt put
Northside on its 18 yard
line.
No matter, Green reeled
off a 32-yard jaunt to solve
the field position problem
and seven plays later gal
loped 20 yards for his second
touchdown.
Green finished the game
with 138 yards on six carries
and two touchdowns.
Northside showed its
dominance in the drive
when facing fourth and 10
on the Lee County 32, Ivory
hit Jacobi Rodriquez on the
sidelines for a 12-yard first
down pass. Rodriguez’s toes
were long enough to scrape
the field of play before he
fell out of bounds.
The extra point kick
missed, but the Eagles didn’t
miss a scoring opportunity
in the first quarter.
Rodriguez’s next grab
came barely five minutes
later when he broke open in
the end zone for a 45-yard
touchdown pass from Ivory.
That was after Lee County
drove to Northside’s 22. The

yards out. The PAT was
missed to make it 13-0.
Newnan got on the board
in the second as Thomas
Darrah threw a 25-yard
touchdown pass. That sliced
the lead to 13-7.
The score remained that
way the rest of the half.
In the second half,
Houston County got the
ball first - via winning the
coin toss earlier - and ate
up about seven minutes in
15 plays. There were six
first downs on the drive.
O’Neal’s third touchdown

Trojans passed for 81 yards
in the first half, but the
Eagles defense stiffened
when it needed.
With the Trojans facing
third and eight at the Eagles
22, Northside’s Deonta
Jordan, Damon Lopez and
Marcus Hill held a meet
ing on Lee County’s quar
terback Brian Hiegle that
resulted in a 15-yard loss.
Starting from its 10 yard
line after the Trojans punt
ed, the Eagles Ivory ran for
30 yards and after a Lee
County 15-yard personal
foul, hit Rodriquez with the
45-yard strike and Northside
was up after the extra point,
20-0.
Four plays later,
Northside’s Mario
Armstrong intercepted
Hiegle at Lee County’s 39.
Green ran for 21 yards and
Ivory threw his second touch
down pass of the game, a 36
yard strike Kevyn Cooper in
the end zone. Another Pike
extra point and the Eagles
led 27-0.
Northside’s Mitchell Bell
grabbed the Eagles’ second
interception of the game
when he leaped in front of
a Trojan receiver and made
the catch. He returned the
ball 32 yards to Lee County’s
26.
It took one minute and a
pass and a run before Ivory
hit Nick Bass for a 10-yard
touchdown.
Bass wasn’t finished. Lee
County was forced to punt
again and Bass returned the
kick 50 yards before being
forced out at the Trojans’ 5
yard line.
Ivory then did his own
the clock. The Bears went
for two and made it when
King took a pitch from
quarterback Jeff Thompson
and made it into the end
zone. That made it 21-7.
On Newnan’s next
series, Dexter Holmon bat
ted down a pass on fourth
down to give the Bears the
ball on downs. On the ensu
ing drive King took a snap
at quarterback and ran a
keeper 22 yards. Then from
the wingback position early
in the fourth quarter, he
ran 45 yards to Newnan’s
7. O’Neal scored again, this
time on a toss sweep from
six yards out and the Bears
led 27-7. There was 9:53
left to play at that point.

Northside led 41-0 at
the half and with a run
ning clock in the second
half, and the Eagles playing
everybody, the only offen
sive pyrotechnics came late
in the fourth quarter when
Tracey Lawrence broke lose
52 yards, but time ran out
before the Eagles could capi
talize.
Eagles’ defensive back
Charles McKenzie out leaped
a Lee County receiver for
Northside’s third intercep
tion of the game early in the
third quarter. The Eagles
defense held the Trojans to
only 19 yards rushing and
90 yards passing.
“Both groups (offense and
defense) played really well,”
said Northside head coach
Conrad Nix. “Any time you
shut somebody down, you’re
doing a good job.”

Newnan’s high-powered
offense was not finished,
however. Behind two quick
pass plays and a 26-yard
run it was first-and-goal
from the 5. Fullback Javoris
Mitchell scored a three-yard
touchdown to make it 27-
14.
Newnan recovered an
onside kick on Houston’s 48
and marched that distance
in eight plays.
It scored on a three-yard
sweep to make it 27-21.
Newnan didn’t go for the
on side kick the next time
and King made them play on
a criss-cross play. He gained
47 yards to the Newnan 20
and O’Neal capped it off
with his fifth touchdown.

around like two kids playing
tag. They ran towards me,
away from me, then back
towards me.
They slowed to a walk and
passed me about 25 yards
heading towards the food
plot that was approximately
150 yards away and through
a thicket. As they were
entering the thicket I heard
footsteps to my right. This
could only mean one thing:
a buck was trailing the does
- just as I had hoped.
As the buck walked into
view I focused on his head
because I could not tell how
big he really was. It was only
6:50 a.m. or so and still a
little dark.
The buck passed me about
35 yards and still I could not
tell how big he was.
He then headed to the
same thicket the does had
disappeared into earlier but
as he got closer I shot. The
deer hit the ground as if I
had shot him with a cannon
then jumped up and ran 20
yards before expiring.
Not really knowing how
big the buck was I picked up
two sheds from a six-point
buck and started to rattle.
My reason for doing this
is because there are a lot of
deer in the area and I want
ed them to feel less spooked
as I possibly could.
I rattled for two or three
minutes then stopped.

As I approached the other
