They have a great coach
ing staff over there and a lot
of things going positive for
them ... It’s just little things
that can turn things.”
Warner Robins snapped
what was a four-game los
ing streak dating back to the
state semifinals 0f2006 when
the Demons handled Beach
High at home. Going into
that game, Warner Robins
had just three touchdowns
in three games (one offen
sive, one defensive and one
special teams), but was able
to double that total in the
first half.
“It does a lot for the psyche
of our kids if nothing else,”
said Way about the signifi

cance of getting in the win
column finally. “It gives the
kids a good feeling to see
that with all the hard work
they’ve been through they
can get some success.”
But Warner Robins isn’t
the only football team in
town mired in a 1-3 season
so far. Houston County, with
just as brutal an opening
schedule, has only one win in
four games, that victory com
ing against Windsor Forest
at home. Both the Demons
and Bears have fallen to
Northside High, a defend
ing state championship club,
and Houston was shut out
last weekend to a perennial
power from Parkview High.
“We’re both playing a lot
of inexperienced guys, bot

both schools. “We definitely
both had senior laden teams
last year. If you play good
teams using inexperienced
people, mistakes can cost you
a game.”
“A lot of times you go
through some growing
pains,” said Collins. “Like we
are right now. We’re strug
gling a little bit. Our kids are
playing hard and getting bet
ter every week. We just need
a breakout game.”
This would be the time for
the Bears to break out, but
the Demons have the same
goal in mind, and that’s to
come out of Friday’s game 1-
0 in the state’s toughest foot
ball region. Last year’s game
was one of epic proportions
when Warner Robins won
10-9 even though Houston
scored a touchdown on the

last play of regulation. It was
only a missed extra point
that prevented overtime.
Way said that kind of result
was indicative of the close
ness of the Houston County-
Warner Robins rivalry over
the past five years (which
included one game ending
in a tied score). He said it
shouldn’t be any different
this year as he expects both
teams to get after each other,
and whoever can make the
big play should come out on
top.
“They’ve started out throw
ing the ball well,” said Way
about the Bears. “They have
a great athlete in (Craig)
Pressley. He catches the ball
well, runs good routes and
is a threat after the catch.
They have a quick fullback,

better and the offensive fine
is improved.
“Defensively they’ve played
well most of the year. They’ve
given up some big plays, but
they’ve given themselves a
chance to win.”
“It’s not hopeless,” said
Collins. “We have players
making plays on defense.
We’ve played well offensively
in the second half. We had
a drive in the second half
against Berkmar and we had
a drive in the second half
against Parkview. Our kids
have worked hard and are
in pretty good shape. They
don’t ever give up or quit.
“We’re doing the things
you want a football team to
do, get strong in the second
half and make plays in the
fourth quarter. We just need
to find a way to get it turned

on in the beginning, make
some drives early.”
As for the biggest challenge
Houston County faces on the
football field Friday, Collins
said it has more to do with
themselves than anything
Warner Robins might throw
at them.
“We have to keep working
on us,” he said. “If we take
care of what we can take
care of, it should be a good
ball game.
“We’re not inexperienced
anymore. We’ve had four
tough football games. We’ve
shown we can do it. We just
need to do it for four quar
ters. We wanted to get better
each week and I think we’ve
done it. We wanted to come
in (to the Warner Robins
game) ready to compete in
our region.”
