Several of the yards he gained were taken away by the swarming tack les of Eddie Thomas, Eric Fields and Abry Jones among others. “I’m going to tell you, he’s a good running back,” said defensive coordinator Kevin Kinsler of Ward. “I’m a little bit disappointed in our tackling. A couple of times we had him hemmed up and he got away. It’s a credit to him. We had two or three guys right there and he slipped away. I thought our guys did a pretty good job most of the night slowing him down. “The guys up front were doing their job. Linebackers and a couple of secondary guys made pretty good open field tackles at times. We have to do a better job of tackling backs like that. He was the best one we’ve seen, but we are going to see a lot more.” With Northside trailing 7- 0, it was just a matter of pounding the football on the ground, and the game was soon tied. Fullback Brandon Jordan did all his running of the game on three straight totes to get 15 yards up to the Zion 39. Starting quar terback Joe Scott hit Nick Bass in the flat, and Bass’ stiff-arm move gained him 17 yards to the 22.

ENI/Gary Harmon to get to the 11. Jordan also gave Green a block on the toss sweep up to the 3. From there Green had his first touchdown at 7:48. Devon Pike made all five PAT kicks in the first half and added two more in the second. Cooper’s go-ahead touch down came at the end of a 10-play drive of 74 yards. It had an 11-yard run for a first down by Scott, starting in place of the injured Ivory. The first play of the second quarter was another Green touchdown run. This drive for Northside started on the Bulldog 18 as a punt was popped up in the air and only netted two yards. Green scored from 11 yards out (21- 7). Ward had just three car ries in the first half, one of which Thomas stopped for a two-yard loss on a 3rd-and-l. Khiry Jones, like Thomas a senior tackle, had two stops on the Mt. Zion three-and out series prior to the short punt. The Bulldogs moved the football better down 21-7 as Ward picked up a pair of first downs up to the Eagle 27. But Fields chased down Ward for another loss for 3rd-and-12. On 4th-and-3, Ward tried the delayed draw but was met by Thomas in the backfield. Scott did a little play faking with Green taking a rest on the bench. His play racked up 17 yards to the Zion 28. From there, Bass took a handoff while in motion, and fellow receiver Tracey Lawrence blocked up-field to clear the way for a touchdown at 5:18 (28-7). Green’s third touchdown came at 46 seconds to go until the half. He had four carries - one for 38 yards - on the drive from the Eagle 43 and scored from five out (35-7). Senior end Anthony Taylor ended the half recovering a Ward fumble. Of Green’s 196 yards, 155 came in the first half. Bass had two more touch downs within three minutes of each other in the third period. The first was set up by Green’s final run of the night, which picked up 41 yards to the Bulldog 24. Scott stood in an empty backfield and fired the football to Bass to make it 42-7. Scott had four comple tions in all in just six passing attempts for 62 yards. To go with his rushing and receiving touchdowns, Bass caught a punt on his 39-yard line and made a nifty return past several Bulldog defend ers for a 61-yard score at 7:55 (49-7). Taylor and Thomas set up the return by making more stops on Ward at the line of scrimmage. Two more Eagles would get into the scoring column late in the quarter. The first was Xavier Hawkins on a 30- yard touchdown run with big blocking help from Jordan Dooley. Bibbins had a first down catch of 11 yards into Zion territory on that series. Trent Johnson notched the PAT kick here. Alan Davis also ran a long ways to get the final six points.
