Panther Jacorey Lane looks for running room against a wall of defenders in Perry’s win over Northeast Friday
in Perry.
RALLIES
From page 4B
have sent the Panthers on
the road to try to keep the
season going.
“I was so impressed with
our kids,” said Scott, who
saw Hayward score one
other game-winning touch
down inside the last minute
on Oct. 12 at home against
West Laurens. “For the last
couple of weeks we’ve mem
orized a Bible verse. This
week it was Proverbs 6:3.
It says, “Commit whatev
er you do to the Lord and
your plans will succeed.” We
talked all week about com
mitting, doing whatever you
needed to do to make sure
you came off the field a win
ner.
“This was probably one of
the best weeks of practice
I’ve ever had since I’ve been
the head coach here. Our
kids just really believe in
each other. As long as there
is time on the clock, our kids
believe they have a chance
to win.”
Hayward garnered 344
yards of total offense with
27 rushes for 166 yards with
two touchdowns and 13-for
-23 passing for 178 yards
and four touchdowns. Trey
Smith caught six passes for
99 yards with two touch
downs while Jacorey Lane
netted 91 total yards with a
touchdown catch.
“When you have Lane,
Hayward, Brandon Golden,
Smith, Akeen Felder, J. R
Lasseter, Cody Mahler, with
that offensive line we have,
we are really special on
offense,” said Scott.
Perry trailed by nine,
35-26, with 5:29 left in the
fourth quarter. The Panthers
used two minutes to get
within three, 35-32, as the 6-
4 Smith made three catches,
two to get first downs and
the third in the end zone
from six yards out. The play
before the touchdown was a
Smith catch over the middle
for 19 yards on 3rd-and-7.
The kickoff strategy took
a dramatic turn from the
previous two weeks. Bill
Freeman, instead of aim
ing towards the sidelines,
kicked straight ahead and
deep. Northeast was not pre
pared for that, and its lone
returner had to chase the
ball down on the 4.
Raider quarterback
Michael Palmer converted a
third down pass on the roll
at the 15. Kanorris Davis
pushed Northeast back,
though, and forced the visi
tors from Macon to punt and
spot the Panther offense on
the 42 with 55 seconds left
and no timeouts.
That distance shortened
to 37 on a substitution foul
on the Raiders. Then it was
Hayward swinging a pass
out that Lane turned into
a gain to the 18. Two plays
later Hayward ran the ball
to lst-and-goal on the 7 with
18.4 seconds showing.
The game-winning score
came on second down, and
Freeman’s PAT kick com
pleted the comeback. The win
was really sealed, though, on
a Preston Mitchell intercep
tion.
Northeast did come out
of the game with 376 yards
of offense with a lot of dam
age done by Palmer, Jarvaris
Brown, Quinton McCornell,
Sheldon Mays and Adarius
Cornelius. They finished
even with the Panthers in
first downs with 20.
The Raiders began the
game with a long drive from
its 34 to the Perry 26. Tony
Davis got a hold of Cornelius
after he hobbled a toss play
for lost yards. On 4th-and
-14, Jecavesia Hayward and
Kered Whitest closed in on
Palmer to force an incomple
tion.
Perry’s offense caught the
first break when Lasseter
punted the ball strong and
the Raiders couldn’t handle
the return. Austin White
recovered with officials stop
ping the play on the NE
5. Hayward scored the first
touchdown of the night on
a two-yard run at 5:27, and
Freeman’s PAT made it a
7-0 game.
It’s a lead that lasted only
a minute as the Raiders ben
efited from a personal foul
call to reach midfield. Palmer
then converted a third down
pass to Cornelius on the PH
36, and his next throw went
to Brown for a touchdown
at 4:26.
Perry’s response to that
was to drive 82 yards and
reclaim the lead early in the
second quarter. Faced with
3rd-and-ll (due to two pen
alties) on the 17, Hayward
scrambled and found Golden
alone up the middle for a
24-yard catch on the 41.
Hayward rolled again and
hit Smith for 18 yards on the
Raider 30.
In the second, Hayward
took a 4th-and-8 snap from
the 28. He fired to Smith
over the middle on a touch
down at 10:58. Freeman’s
kick put Perry up 14-7.
Hayward did just about
everything from returning

kicks to playing free safe
ty on defense. He covered
two passes in a row that
forced Northeast to punt.
The Raider defense would
come up with a play a 6
Gary Howard intercepted a
ball and returned it to the
Panther 36.
Palmer was quite a scram
bler himself at quarterback,
and after a bit of running
he threw his high looping
ball complete to Mays for
25 yards to the 9. On the
fade route, Brown caught a
touchdown pass close to the
back line at seven minutes
until halftime. That helped
tie it back up at 14-all.
So it was Hayward’s turn
to make more plays on a drive
that began at the Panther
16. The quarterback did an
immediate reversal of field
on a run of 16 yards to the
33. Perry gained four more
first downs in 10 plays up to
the Raider 15.
From there, Hayward
swung a pass to his right,
as Lane stood open in the
flat. With blocks from Smith
and Mahler, Lane had the
touchdown with 53 seconds
to go. The PAT kick didn’t
go through, however, keep
ing the score at 20-14.
Northeast needed just one
play to get a third tie of the
half. It started with a kick
off return by Brown to his
42. Palmer’s pass from there
went to Mays, who put a few
moves in the secondary on
his way for a 58-yard touch
down. Two penalties and
three different sets later, the
Raiders also failed on the
conversion try, so the sec
ond half became a new game
with a 20-20 score.
The third quarter belonged
to Northeast and a drive of
96 yards. Lasseter punted
the Raiders into that deep
hole, but Palmer and Co. got
out of it with two first downs
up to the 30. Brown then

made a 25-yard catch on the
PH 45.
Four plays later, McCornell
ran off left tackle for a 20-
yard touchdown at 5:24.
Cornelius’ two-point run put
the visitors ahead for the
first time at 28-20.
Northeast looked to be
making another long series
after a Lasseter punt to the
NE 14. But freshman line
backer Tyler Rogers inter
cepted Palmer on the PH
41.
Hayward’s constant pun
ishment on the line finally
paid off with a burst of 35
yards to the Raider 17. As
the fourth quarter began,
Hayward had his second
successful fourth-down con
version with a run to the 5.
On what looked like a
hobbled snap, Hayward’s
running in the pocket left
Golden open for a touch
down catch at 11:02. Perry
could not match Northeast’s
two-point play and stayed
two points behind at 28-26.

PAT for 35-26.
Scott confirmed after the
game that Perry - should it
win next week - cannot earn
the No. 1 seed for 4-AAA
if Henry County also wins
next week. That’s because
the Panthers lost to Henry
County of the north sub
region on Sept. 28 at home.
This was the year for the
south sub-region to be No.
1 if everything ended up
equal.
Perry’s opponent for the
play-in round will either be
Jackson, Ola or Spalding.
