cont’d from IB
Jefferson scored five times in
the first inning and never looked
back.
“The last few games we
played, including the Buford
tournament, we’ve come out and
put some runs up early,” Puckett
said. “And that’s just something
we couldn’t do last year.”
Kasey McDonald and Paige
Pate led Jefferson offensively
as both went 2-for-2 with three
RBIs.
Summer Bartek and Anna
Alexander added to the hit
parade, going 2-for-3 with two
RBIs. Jordan Whitfield also went
2-for-3.
Puckett said his team is hitting
well in the clutch this year.
‘This year we put up a bunch
of runs with two outs — a lot of
two-out hits this year,” Puckett
said. “That’s just pleased me
beyond belief.”
Pitcher Morgan McKinney
fired a two-hit complete game,
striking out five batters, and also
drove home a run to help her
own cause.
Prior to the East Jackson
game, the Dragons won the
silver bracket of the Buford
Invitational, shaking off a pair of
early set backs to finish 3-2-1 in
the event.
Jefferson opened with two
losses, falling to no. 1 ranked,
three-time defending Class
AA champion Buford 5-1
(Wednesday) and Union County
5-4 (Friday), followed by a 0-0
tie with Providence 0-0 (in which
it was no-hit) before rebounding.
The Dragons got off the deck
by slugging Dunwoody 14-0
(Saturday), outlasting Flowery
Branch 5-4 (Saturday) and then
blanking Riverwood 5-0 to close
the tournament.
In the opener, Jefferson man
aged just three hits against pow
erhouse Buford, while McKinney
took the loss on the mound.
Against Union County,
Alexander led the Dragons
by going 2-for-4 at the plate,
driving home three runs.
McKinney, Catherine Knight,
Kasey McDonald, Pate and
Cason Anderson all had one
hit. McKinney took the loss in
relief.
In a pitchers’ dual against
Providence, McKinney nearly
matched Kylie Kleinschmidt’s
no-hit effort, throwing seven
shutout innings while allowing
three hits and two walks. She
also struck out three batters.
Jefferson enjoyed its highest
offensive output of the season in
shellacking Dunwoody, pound
ing out 16 hits in a four-inning
game. Alexander went 3-for-3,
while Lindsey Miles went 2-for-
3 with four RBIs. Bartek and
Knight also had big days at the
plate, going 2-for-2 with two
RBIs. Also driving in two runs
was Pate, who went 2-for-3.
Kara Perry threw four shutout
innings to pick up the win, allow
ing three hits and two walks. She
struck out two.
Against Flowery Branch,
Jefferson scored a run in the bot
tom of the seventh to claim its
second win in the tournament.
Miles went 2-for-3, while Bartek
(l-for-2) and Perry (l-for-2) each
drove in runs. Perry also got the
win in relief, pitching three shut
out innings, allowing three hits
while striking out one.
Miles had another big game
at the plate in the tournament
finale against Riverwood, going
2-for-3 with two RBIs. Bartek
(l-for-3), McKinney (l-for-3)
and Anderson (l-for-3) each
drove home one run.
McKinney threw seven shut
out innings for the victory, sur
rendering four hits and striking
out four.

Jefferson holds off CHS in thriller
ByBenMunro
Z ACH ALLEN
and his Jefferson
teammates were
flat-out spent by game’s end
Friday night, but Allen had
one more play left in him.
The Dragon senior defen
sive end and fullback blocked
Josh Swistak’s 37-yard field
goal attempt as time expired
to preserve a 17-14 Dragon
victory and give Jefferson’s
12th graders a career sweep
of rival Commerce.
“Our whole team is tired,”
Allen said of the game’s
final moments. “We’re all
going both ways. We’re try
ing to swap in people ...
I mean, it’s nerve-racking.
Everything about it is.”
But Jefferson could finally
exhale after Allen’s block.
Besides saving the
game, Allen said there was
another motivating factor
at work when Commerce
lined up for its final kick.
“I remember two years ago,
when my brother was play
ing and he blocked that last
kick (against Commerce),”
Allen said. “And I remember
I got chewed out so bad for
not even going on the play,
so I gave it my all on that
last kick and went after it.”
With their fourth straight
win in this series, Allen
and Jefferson’s 15 other
seniors will graduate having
never lost to Commerce.
“It feels amazing,” Allen
said. “I know every one of
my brothers has been playing
with me since seventh grade
at Jefferson and we’ve never
been beaten by Commerce and
we didn’t want to start now.”
Senior tight end and defen
sive end Hoytes Damons
echoed Allen’s comments.
“I think we’re going to go
down in history for doing
that,” he said. “I’ve got to say
thanks to all the other play
ers who helped us last year
and the past few years.”
A few of the seniors’
younger teammates helped
out this year’s cause.
Junior Drequn Sewell and
sophomore Bryant Shirretfs
both scored touchdowns, while
junior Asher Orr kicked a
27-yard field goal as Jefferson
secured the most nerve-racking
victory of its four-game win
ning streak over Commerce.
Orr’s field goal with 7:26
left in the third quarter broke
a scoreless tie, followed just
over a minute later by Sewell’s
seven-yard touchdown run to
put the Dragons up 10-0.
Shirretfs then gave the
Dragons a seemingly comfort
able 17-6 lead at the 8:25 mark
in the fourth quarter with a
one-yard score. The sopho
more, who transferred from
Athens Academy, finished
10-of-13 for 95 yards through
the air in his first Jefferson-
Commerce game and first start
under center for the Dragons.
“I was really excited at
the beginning of the game,”
Shirretfs said. “As the game
progressed, my composure got
a little bit better. I thought our
offense did a really good job.
Our line was blocking extreme
ly well and our tailbacks did
a good job running the ball.”
Dragon senior Chris Jackson
ran for 64 yards on six car
ries. His third quarter runs
of 26 yards and 29 yards set
up Jefferson’s field goal and
first touchdown. Jackson,
however, played sparingly
after that due to cramps.
Jefferson finshed with
203 total yards, rushing for
108 and passing for 95.
Defensively, Cain Finch
picked off a pass in the third
quarter and returned the
ball to the Commerce 36.
Jefferson scored three plays
later on Sewell’s seven-
yard touchdown run.
Commerce lost despite rush
ing for 271 yards. Most of that
came via a stellar night from
quarterback Cody Streetman,
who ran wild with 185 yards on
32 carries and two touchdowns.
Jefferson coach T. McFerrin
said he and his staff were
“completely surprised” by
Commerce’s offensive game

plan and use of its quarter
back. Jefferson had prepared
all week for Commerce’s
wishbone and double slot
attack, but the Tigers came out
running Streetman as a single
wing back essentially instead.
“It looked almost like
Tim Tebow with what they
were doing on offense,”
McFerrin said. “I can’t say
enough about Streetman.”
Allen said the Tigers
did a good job of block
ing for their quarterback.
“They were bringing eight
people to one side,” Allen
said of Commerce’s rushing
success, “and he (Streetman)
was just following them.”
Streetman ripped off runs
of 28 and 30 yards in the
fourth quarter to set up his
one-yard score with 5:24 left
in the game to cut the Dragon
lead to 17-12. Streetman
then tacked on the two-point
conversion to bring the
Tigers within a field goal.
On the final possession
of the game, Commerce
drove from its own four to
the Jefferson 20, but the
Tiger rally ended when Allen
got a hand on Swistak’s
potential-game tying kick.
Commerce dominated
the line of scrimmage and
the time of possession early,
holding the ball for all but
1:05 of the first quarter.
Jefferson ran just two
plays in the opening period.
The first half ended in a 0-0
deadlock, though Jefferson
did start to get moving offen
sively in the second quarter
once the Dragon defense
finally got Commerce’s clock
eating offense off the field.
“I think it’s more that
we had the ball more that
made our success (later
on),” Shirreffs said, not
ing Jefferson’s very limited
snaps in the early going.
With Friday’s win, Jefferson
continued its recent hold
on the rivalry, but McFerrin
praised both Dragons’ and
Tigers’ grit in what was a
physically-draining contest
between two long-time rivals.
“Both teams just played
their guts out,” he said.
NOTES: Cody Berryman
graded out highest on the
Jefferson offensive line ...
Jason Demos, making his
first start, had 12 tackles...
Finch, in addition to his big
third-quarter interception had
a huge 47-yard rugby style
punt that pinned the Tigers
inside their five for the final
drive ... Carson Newman
had 13 tackles at outside
linebacker to lead the team.
