because they couldn’t get
the breaks in close foot
ball games. That argument
would come from those
who won said close games
against Valdosta. Warner
Robins High was one of
those schools; the Demons
won 21-17 at Valdosta last
year.
“I don’t know if they ever
left,” said Warner Robins
head coach Bryan Way on the
question ‘ls Valdosta High
football back?’ “They’ve
probably won more games
than anybody in the his
tory of high school football.
They’re feeling confident,
and they’re a good team.
“Not that they didn’t have
a good team last year. The
big difference between this
year and last year is they
are winning the close games.
Last year they couldn’t
find a way to win them.
They’ve won every close
game they’ve had this year.
Four of their six games have
come right down to the end.
“They have great quick
ness everywhere. That’s
what concerns us more than
anything, their overall team
speed.”
Way stated several times
in 2006 that 1-AAAAA had
several “good” teams but
not one “great” team. He
feels the same way about
the 2007 campaign so far
in his league. Both Warner
Robins and Valdosta
enter Saturday’s game at
McConnell-Talbert Stadium
unbeaten in the region, but

one will be behind the other
in the standings once prac
tice begins next week.
To beat Tift County by
one point, Valdosta blocked
a PAT kick with less than
three minutes left in regula
tion. The Wildcats also beat a
team from Utah (Jordan) 23-
21 and a school from Florida
(Lincoln, Tallahassee) 21-17
on a score late in that game.
Tomberlin is a three-time
state championship winning
head coach, so for him 1-9
would not be the kind of
season to which he is accus
tomed. If anything, his first
year with the Wildcats was
one of growing as he report
edly returned 10 starters
back from 2006.
“They played an awful lot
of juniors last year,” said
Way. “That means they
didn’t have a lot of experi
ence. When you play a lot
of guys who are underclass
men, they tend to make those
mistakes that come with the
territory. They aren’t mak
ing many of those mistakes
now.
“Offensively their quar
terback (Michael Turner)
makes plays with his feet,
scrambles around a lot,
buys himself some time and
throws the ball. They’ve run
the ball better than they
could run it last year. The
offensive line isn’t overly big
but very quick. They’re very
balanced on offense.
“Defensively they have
tremendous quickness
everywhere ... good size, but
not huge. But they have out
standing team speed and are
aggressive.”

are almost transpiring as
they did one year ago. The
Demons sit at 2-3 after an
0-3 start, and after just 10
points in the first two games
they’ve racked up 82 in the
previous two contests. Last
week was the team’s bye
week.
“We’ve had some people
who have been banged Up
and got a chance to rest
them,” said Way. “At the
same time we concentrated
a lot on fundamentals and
improving ourselves. I don’t
think anyone’s real crazy
about an off week, but it
came at a good time for us.
“We’re not where we want
to be, that’s for sure. I see
a few similarities (to last
year). We have a long way to
go. We have five tough games
left, and I told the kids we’re
capable of winning all five of
them.
“By the same token, those
teams we’re playing are all
capable of beating us. It’s
going to come down to how
well we execute.”
Execution has improved
greatly for the Demon
offense, which had just one
touchdown during the three
game losing skid. Players
like Rashad Wynes are final
ly establishing themselves
in the backfield as Wynes
had three touchdowns in the
35-14 win two weeks ago
against Houston County
High. Jonathan Jackson also
had a big run of 63 yards in
that game.
“We’re playing a lot of
offensive backs,” said Way.
“They’re all getting better
the more reps they get. We’re
trying to keep fresh bodies in

there, and they’ve all played
well. Rashad may get a few
more accolades because he’s
scored some touchdowns, but
if you look at total yards it’s
pretty even among our three
backs. We feel good about the
improvement they’ve made
and hope they continue to
get better.”
Some of Warner Robins’
injury problems have been
on the offensive line, but
that’s a unit that also contin
ues to work and progress.
“When you get good block
ing, you tend to make some
runs,” said Way. “I haven’t
coached many running backs
who could make yards with
out blocking. They go hand
in hand.”
What’s been characteriz
ing the Demon defense so far
has been the interception. It
