BUSTS From page iB 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 RUSHES From page iB 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 came with 5:08 showing on CLEATS g. h <gV Bs Play Better Golf with JACK NICKLAUS MtMn.NjG IN a foUNKEP.

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. www gocomics com e-mail Cleatsmail@aol com 0 ® - r * ... , 7 0 / NEXT TIME, I'M I | = 0 f BRIMGIUG A TIMER.

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.” SCOREBOARD By The Associated Press Brookwood 52, South Cobb 15 Camden County 36.

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.

It wasn’t 30 seconds after that before I heard some thing come crashing through the woods straight at me. It ran within 50 yards of me and stopped in a thicket. I put the horns down and picked up my gun. It was not five minutes before the buck’s curiosity got the best of him and he finally stepped out about 20 yards. It was light enough then to where I could tell he was a nice deer - a very common eight point but still very nice. Before he could turn to go back in the thick et, I shot.

As I got closer I could see horns on the deer was a lot bigger than I expected. As I stood over the deer I started to count. One ... two ... three ... 10 ... 11 ... 16 ... 17 points! I could not believe it! I probably counted three more times before I walked to the other deer. As I approached the other I could tell he was just what I thought he was - a very respectable eight point. I took a second to look him over and still trying to deal with the disbelief I had just shot two very nice bucks. As the morning was very productive I was still kind of sad that my buck tags were filled. # omm Starting At* : $3,995; m (Its Shown) 3B
