Running their record to 6-0 and opening their Class A Region 3 D-l schedule with a win, the Screven County Gamecocks of Ron Duncan whipped
visiting Bryan County’s Redskins 19-0 at Kelly Memorial Stadium last Friday night. In addition to keeping their unbeaten overall record intact and
starting 1-0 in region play, the Roosters also secured their 16 th consecutive Homecoming victory dating back to a 25-20 win over T. W. Josey in 2006.
SCHS will make a trip to Savannah High this week to face the Blue Jackets in their second region contest.
Friday the Red and White led 13-0 before the Redskins had a first down in a game that saw SCHS put together its best 24 minutes of football all season
in the first half. It came at the right time against the right opponent. Though they fell
flat and consistently stopped themselves in the second half, by that time the outcome
was not in doubt. It was a game that saw the Dirty Bird defense, the second best scoring
defense in all of Class A D-l, make three fourth down stops and hold the visitors under
100 total yards until their final possession; a possession that ended at the SCHS one
yard line as time ran out.
The SCHS offense took their first possession and drove 66 yards in seven plays and
then their second possession and went 32 yards in just six plays putting the score at
13-0 with 2:46 remaining in the opening stanza. While that was going on BCHS ran
three plays totaling two yards and launched a punt that TaCorey Grant returned 21
yards to the ‘Skins 32. The clutch play of the first scoring down was the fourth and six
that resulted in a 31 yard scoring toss from Jake Pollock (4-7 for 82 yards) to Grant. Six
consecutive running plays netted the second score with fullback Miyon Fulcher (13-67)
bulling in from the one. Jeremiah Stuart was true on the first PAT. Also with big runs on
the first two possessions were Andre Michaud (9-78) and Pollock (7- 37).
Bryan showed life down 13-0 as they began a 14 play drive that started on their own
41.
The drive took nearly eight minutes off the first half clock but resulted in no points
as they
turned the
ball over
on downs
at the
Dirty Birds’
17 yard
line. Jamari
Dockery, with help from Vasquez Lonon and Grant, stopped Bryan’s
Jacari Carney for no gain on a fourth and five. The time consuming drive
was directly from the BCHS game plan, but down 13-0 and producing no
points, the game plan proved ineffective.
Following the stop the Roosters promptly drove the 83 yards in a mere
eight plays. The drive culminated with a 25 yard completion from Pollock
to Dylaun Adams (3-51) in the comer of the home side end zone. Other
big plays in the barely three minute drive were a 22 yard catch and ran by
Adams and a 20 yard run by Michaud. The try for two failed. Few would
have guessed it but the scoring for the night was done.
In the frustrating second half the Gamecocks reached the Bryan 33, 16,
and 37 but were stopped by penalties and balls put on the ground. They
were put there by various methods none of which resulted in lost fumbles.
When all was done the defense had its third shut of the season led by
Adam Lingerfelt’s 14 tackles (3-11). Other leading tacklers were Vasquez
Lonon (2-7), Justin Smith (1-8), Fulcher (2-4), Grant (2-2), LJ Brown (1-3), and Jemiah Stewart (0-4). The tackles included six for losses.

Our New Home - week 7
Joe Brady
Editor
This week has seen a steady stream
of workers coming and going.
Office walls have been put up, no
sheetrock yet, but you can at least
see where things are headed. One
of the windows has been opened
up and it’s amazing how much
light comes in. Ms. Cecilia Lee has
graciously accepted the challenge of
touching up the murals where they
could not be saved. Hats off to Orr’s
Construction for working so hard
on our new home! (photo by Sam

Friends, family, and
co-workers joined together
Friday, October 7, to honor
Bob Good. Bob retired
after 14 years of mediating
magistrate cases for Screven,
Bulloch, and Effingham
counties.
He also worked with
Screven County Probate
Court Judge Debbie Brown
on dispute cases and
sometimes was the executor
on some of those cases.
According to Alternative
Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Program Director Crystal
Thompson, “Bob is known
for settling cases. He has a
calming effect on parties and
attorneys, and he could resolve even the most contentious of issues.”
Thompson goes on to praise Good’s Bob and Joy Good listen as he is being roasted by friends during his retirement
dedication and dependability, “He had been party. (photo by Sarah Saxon)
the most dependable mediator. Only once in
the 9 years I have been the director, have I had to get someone to cover for Bob.”
Bulloch County Magistrate Judge June Braswell said, “Bob is our go to guy, if a case can’t be resolved, he is the only
one who can make it happen.”
Judge Jimmy Griner, who is credited for giving Bob his start, also said, “I did a program for the Sylvania Rotary
club about the ADR and Bob said he would like to do that, and the rest is history.”
Bob thanked for coming, “I knew God sent me for this purpose and I have worked to do the best job I can.”
