PULLING AWAY

Bulldoggs continued from IB
“They’re just very good
all the way around,” Webb
said. “They've got all
the right components —
speed, size and discipline.
They’ve started to play
really well the past few
weeks.”
The Bulldoggs’ win over
Habersham was fueled by
big plays in the second
half, including a 90-yard
kickoff return and 80-yard
touchdown run by Deon
Williams, a 52-yard touch
down pass from Brock
Landis to Teague Moore
and several other long
gains that helped set up
additional scores.
But Dacula has not been
as susceptible to big plays.
“It’s a very tough
defense to play against
because they’ve been able
to shut the run down and
limit the number of big
passing plays they give
up,” Webb said. “You have
to be able to really play
well up front and drive the
football against these guys
because they’re not going
to give up anything deep
and they do a terrific job of
stopping the run.”
Dacula linebackers Ty
Harris, a 6-foot-1. 220-
pound senior, and junior
Tre McMillan are the lead
ers of the Falcon defense
and also star on the offen
sive side of the ball at run
ning back.
“They’re both great foot
ball players who make
plays all over the field
on both sides of the ball,
so we’re going to have to
account for where they
are each and every play,”
Webb said.
“They’ve gotten some
pretty good production
from their quarterback
in recent weeks so that’s
allowed them to go from
very run-heavy early on to
much more balanced as the
season has progressed.”
AHS continued from IB
Habersham (3-5, 0-4)
has had its own struggles
in region play and lost
a back-and-forth 35-28
heartbreaker to Wind
er-Barrow last week.
The Raiders had success
in the passing game led
by senior quarterback Cole
Wilbanks, but their run
ning game, which features
running back Michael
Babers was held in check
for most of the night by the
Bulldoggs.
“They’ve got a big offen
sive line and that running
back is as good as any
one we’ve seen all year
when he gets going,” Sims
said. “I wouldn’t say their
receivers are super fast, but
they’re able to get open
and make catches pretty
well. They’ve done a better
job the past few weeks of
being balanced.
“It always helps if you
can force them into more
predictable situations, so
we’ve got to do a good job
on first and second down
so we have more flexibility
to pin our ears back and
put pressure on them.”
Above all, Sims hopes
Apalachee’s seniors can
leave with a good taste in
their mouth as they play
their final game.
“They’ve been through a
lot in four years with two
coaches and not a whole
lot of wins to show for it,”
he said. “Yet there they are
sticking it out and show
ing improvement every
week. I’ve been proud of
their ability to stick togeth
er and fight through the
tough times. Their leader
ship is going to be hard to
replace.”
And so will the bodies,
as Apalachee will take
graduation at quarterback,
wide receiver, running
back, the defensive line,
middle linebacker and the
entire secondary.
“They’re going to be
missed and we’re going to
be really young next year.
We don’t have a whole
lot of juniors right now,
so every chances those
younger guys can get to
play is key for us.
“We want to get this
win so we can really have
something to build on for
next season.”
BCA continued from IB
Myrick returned an inter
ception 42 yards for a
touchdown.
After forcing another
BC three-and-out, Jackson
rushed up the middle for
his third score, another 54-
yarder, to set the halftime
score at 45-0 and ensure
a running clock for the
second half. Although the
offense was cruising, Fred
erica’s defense was equally
impressive as it held the
visiting team to just 11
yards from scrimmage and
forcing five punts and one
turnover on downs in the
first half.
In the second half,
Ja’Shawn Sheffield, who
sat out the first half, scored
on his lone carry of the
game, a 50-yard scamper
from midfield. Simpson
would add an interception
before the starters were
pulled. Bethlehem Chris
tian scored on runs of 2 and
1 yards by Matthew Kamm
and Tanner Schwebel in
the fourth quarter.
Outside of forcing a
turnover on Frederica’s
first drive, BCA “never
really got into it in the first
half.” Knights coach Lance
Fendley said. “They just
had more athletes and beat
us all night on the line of
scrimmage. We had a few
good plays here and there,
but they were as good as
advertised and very well-
coached.
“They were just a bad
draw for the first round.”
The loss brought an end
to the season for BCA,
which made the state play
offs for the first time in
school history.
“We couldn’t have done
it without our seniors,”
Fendley said.
“They worked hard
every day, and hopefully
they’ve set the tone for
the program going forward
where we’re not just a
one-and-done team but are
back here every year with
something to prove and to
go further.”
