After Wimbush’s 3 -yard TD run late in the opening stanza put Hillgrove in a 21- 7 bind, the Hawks didn’t blink, assuming control with 27 unanswered points. Rely ing mostly on a short passing game, Ironside was a crisp 12-for-20 throwing for 200 yards and two touchdowns, and Bagley dodged ’Cat clutches for 138 yards rush ing and a score on 2 7 totes. Down 14 early in the sec ond period, the Hawks soared back into the game with Ironside the catalyst, the senior passer striking gold on third-and-24 and connecting with Emmanual Beal on a stunning 72-yard touchdown that completely switched momentum. A 6 3-yard Wimbush kick off return put the Wildcats in prime position to answer, but they were unable to cap italize on a red-zone oppor tunity thanks to two penalties and a sack. On the next Camden pos session, a punt turned to dis aster as Denton weaved through tacklers on an 82- yard touchdown return. CCHS still had the lead, 21- 20, after blocking the extra point with 2:59 left in the half, but wouldn’t be ahead much longer. On the next se ries, a Quincey Nelson inter ception set up the Hawks at the Camden 24, and six plays Submitted photo by Bob Owens Wildcat defender Marcus Jordan breaks up a pass Fri day night in the playoff against Hillgrove. later, Ironside found a tightroping Denton on an 8- yard score with 20 seconds remaining. The only points of the sec ond half came on the very first possession, a Hillgrove series that started near mid- field. Ironside hit Richard Hallman for 15 yards to es cape a third-and-5, and the Hawks turned to trickery on the next snap as Sonny Har ris found a lonesome Omar Black on a 17-yard halfback option throw for a score. Camden’s last serious threat started early in the fourth quarter, after a punt pinned the ’Cats inches out side their goal line. Burrow ing out of trouble, CCHS negotiated six third-down conversions and marched 22 plays and 90 yards — only to be stopped just shy on fourth down at the Hillgrove 9 with 3:44 remaining. The night certainly started promisingly for the Wild cats, who scored on three straight first-quarter posses sions. Sikes — who completed five of 14 passes for 57 yards — found an open Bessent well behind the secondary to kick off the scoring. Bagley’s 1-yard plunge punctuated a 64-yard, 62- second Hawk response, but Poole’s 6-yard gallop around the right side — set up by a 3 7-yard Johnson carry — put CCHS back ahead. Camden added to the lead after a sack of Ironside pro duced a fumble. Five plays and 15 yards later, Wim bush’s run boosted the ad vantage to 14. Meeting with the team in the center of the field after ward, Coffey urged his Wildcats to never be satis fied, and lauded the work of his seniors. In a 10-2 re gion-title season that in cluded hard-nosed triumphs over Colquitt, Lowndes and Valdosta, his underclassmen also learned about the effort necessary to win in Geor gia’s biggest classification. “Our work is not done,” said Coffey, commending his players for their deter mination throughout the year and vowing a strong return in 2014. “It’s been a test each and every week,” he said. Buckets from page 1B whose team led 19-5 after eight minutes, and after a small second-quarter lull, resumed full-court attack mode in the second half. The Hornets had three in double figures, with Connor Wetmore’s 12 points, Ty Wilson’s 11 and Hunter Gordon’s 10. Ryan Thomas contributed eight points. Dom Jones snatched five rebounds and scored all eight of his points in the sec ond half for the ’Cats, who inflated a 31-23 halftime edge to a lopsided 52-34 en tering the final period. Kevin McKenzie added seven points for Camden, Jonathan Canada five assists and two steals, and Spencer Crush from page 1B Against Fleming, Wilcox won by pin in 34 seconds, Diaz by fall in 5:11, and Smith dominated by techni cal fall, 15-0.
