NORTHSIDE From page iB that feels good. Last year I didn’t get to play. This year it’s my opportunity to play in the Dome as a starter.” Quarterback Marques Ivory completed eight pass es for 90 yards and two touchdowns. Both were on shuffle passes inside to junior receiver Nick Bass. Bass caught five shuffles in all and bulled his wav through the crowd of line men and linebackers for 52 yards. Ivory did a little running of his own after faking some handoffs to Green in the shotgun. He had 11 official totes for 56 yards. It was the Northside defense that really brought some intensity to the sta dium against Habersham Central’s basic I formation attack. Not only did Jordan, senior linebacker, shoot past everybody unblocked for a sack on Raider quar terback Bo Hatchett, but other Eagles got their hands on Hatchett as well. Anthony Taylor had a solo sack and shared one with Ben Hicks. Habersham Central had just three first downs in the first half and four in the second. In the first half, two first downs came on delayed reverses to star wideout Tavarres King. In the second quar ter, when King gained 16 yards to the Eagle 45, the Raiders tried a draw with tailback Matt Roberts, but Isaac Wilson stopped him for a one-yard gain. On third down, Habersham did a counter run that Eric Fields was all over for two lost yards. BBL #iL, v jffl ■> at w .rl | v PPT Va> "jSNm ' **" ! «■,*.■«»»».:^N^ N,,^> ‘ ** '**' **' ~'.

King’s other reverse run in the second quarter came after an Eagle fumble at midfield. King gained just 12 yards on the run as Charles McKenzie tackled him on the 39. Taylor and Hicks sacked Hatchett to set up 4th-and-15. “They threw a lot of things at us,” said defensive coordinator Kevin Kinsler. “They tried to get physical up inside, then they spread it out. I thought our kids did a good job getting lined up and competing with them. We made a couple of mis takes on the reverse, but I’m proud of the way our guys recognized the things they were trying to do. “When Habersham did make a big play, we came back and shut them down ... got the ball back for our offense.” In the third quarter, King made a leaping catch by the sidelines on 3rd-and-12 for first down on the Eagle 48. Habersham, two plays later, tried a different receiver for the reverse, but he fum bled back the ball back to Northside. The Raiders had one last serious drive into the fourth quarter lasting 13 plays. Once again they tried a dif ferent man on the reverse on third down, but Fields had him down behind the line of scrimmage. Northside had a 14-0 halftime lead on touchdown drives on its first two pos sessions. The first was all running plays, 11 total, with a 4th and-1 conversion by Green out of the power I set. Jordan, one of the power fullbacks, leaned forward on a third down carry from the 2 and scored at 4:53 of the opening period. Freshman Devon Pike converted his first PAT attempt. Green added a 21-yard reception in the flat to his offensive numbers at the end of the first quarter. To start the second, Ivory hit Jacobi Rodriguez on 3rd and-7 for 14 yards to the 16. Three plays later Bass caught a shuffle for a 5-yard touchdown. With Pike’s PAT, it was 14-0. Habersham Central had two punts - 63 and 48 yards - that pinned Northside inside its own 5 late in the first half. Bass’ best pickup on the shuffle went for 22 yards to set Northside up on the Raider 30 in the third quar ter. Using a counter run for the first time, Green notched his first touch down, a 15-yarder, at 5:50. Habersham blocked the PAT try to keep it a 20-0 game. But Northside capitalized on the fumbled reverse play with another counter run for Green to the Raider 40. Ivory, scrambling his large frame and pushing one defender down with ease, advanced the football 19 yards to the 16. Ivory and Bass hooked up for the second time on the shuffle for a touchdown, this one for 13 yards, at 1:08 of the third. Pike got this PAT kick through (27- 0). With 54 seconds left to play, Green finished off a 12-play, 59-yard drive with a 4th-and-goal 1-yard score. Mark Hartmann got this PAT try and made it good.

O’Neal’s touchdown was set up by a 29-yard run by D.J. Dodson. Dodson rushed for 60 yards in the first half and added the 29 on his first - and what turned out to be his only - carry of the second half. The ball continued to bounce Houston County’s way. On the subsequent kick off, the Hornets fumbled the ball and the Bears recovered on Roswell’s 32. Then the game turned. The Bears fumbled the exchange; the Hornets got the ball back. With Houston County’s defense so pass conscious, Roswell’s running game began to take off. The Hornets needed only six plays to march 68 yards. Taliaferro set things up when he took off for 25 yards.
