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.

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.

Young finished the ground attack with a touchdown pass to Peake to put Westfield up 21-0.

Houston County, with Northside pla tooning heavily it has to be added, 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 ing distance.

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.

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 ed pretty much the same although the Wildcats were pretty much their own worst enemy during that span. Twice penalties negated a long run - 10- plus yards - and ended up being a drive killer.
