more than five yards a carry,
amassing 51 yards on 10
touches.
“All our backs did a great
job,” Jones said. “One of
the biggest things I’m proud
of is Casey Young. He did
a great job of running the
offense.”
Young also threw a 17-
yard touchdown pass to
John Peake in the third
quarter for a score.
“It was under thrown and
John did a great job of going
up and getting the ball,”
said Jones.
Westfield defense helped
by recovering three Trojan
fumbles that the offense
turned into scores.

recoveries in the game when

with the ball on JMA’s third
play of the game’s opening
series.
He gave the Hornets the
ball on the Trojans 35 yard
line.
Three different running
backs carried the ball on
Westfield’s seven-play scor
ing drive, capped by Revis’s
one-yard plunge that gave
Westfield a 7-0 lead after
the first quarter.
Both teams played even
in the second quarter until
Westfield’s defense bowed up
midway through the frame
and stopped John Milledge
on a fourth and one at the
Hornets’ 43 yard line.
The offense repaid the
defense’s efforts with an
eight-play drive capped by
to finishing with three yards shy of 100
on the night, and that in limited play, he
carried the ball every time - five times
- during the drive.
K.J. Morton added a 50-plus-yard
interception on the Bears’ next pos
session and Devon Pike, who was also
three-for-four on the extra points, made
it the final score with a 28-yard field
goal.
That came with less than two minutes
before the half. The Eagles, threatened

Hornets led 14-0 at the
half.
In the second half,
Westfield’s offense took over
the game. In its opening
drive of the third quarter,
the Hornets used more than
eight minutes of the clock
on 16-play drive. Young
finished the ground attack
with a touchdown pass to
Peake to put Westfield up
21-0.
Peake broke for the right
corner of the end zone and
battled JMA’s defender for
the ball, making a leaping

Houston County, with Northside pla

did threaten to break the shutout,
however. Following an Eagle fumble
recovery and a 21-yard run by Robert
Williams, the Bears got within strik

Wildcats beat
Warner Robins
From staff reports
Warner Robins can only
hope there is a return
trip to the Georgia Dome
and that the second time
around yields a much bet
ter result.
The Demons, in the Kell
Powerade Classic Saturday
in the home of the Falcons,
were totally dominated by
Camden County - a team
it had beaten during last
year’s playoffs - much
more than the 20-3 final
indicated.
In fact, Warner Robins,
which entered the game
ranked No. 4 - Camden
County was ranked fifth
- had only one first down
and that came on the sec
ond play from scrimmage
- a 17-yard run by Rashad
Wynes.
The Wildcats, on the
other hand, picked up
three first downs en route
to scoring on its opening
possession - 14 in all.
The extra point was
missed but the chances it
might mean something in
the end were pretty much
negated when Wildcat
Michael Green picked off a
pass on the Demons’ next
possession and returned it
30-plus yards for a score,
then added another score
two possessions later. That

by Camden County quar
terback Major Herron (8-
of-9 passing for 93 yards),
who also did double-duty
on special teams.
And speaking of special
teams, the Wildcats did give
Warner Robins two chanc
es in-between their scoring
to get back in the game
by fumbling and turning
it over twice. But, on the
first of those, the Demons
netted minus-nine yards
- counting a five-yard pen
alty - before throwing an
interception (which, in all
fairness, doubled nicely as
a punt).
On the second, David
Clark, whose punting - he
had eight and a 43.8-yard
average - turned out to
be the one bright spot for
Warner Robins, kicked a
36-yard field goal.
That also ended the scor
ing. The second half yield

were pretty much their
own worst enemy during
that span. Twice penalties

ball on their own 47 before
