LAWRENCEVILLE —
A tight battle in the third
quarter between Jackson
County and Mountain
View turned in a huge way,
and not the way the Pan
thers wanted.
The Bears racked up 42
second-half points, includ
ing 21 in a short, game-de
ciding span late in the third
quarter, for a 56-14 victo
ry in a non-region football
matchup. Seven different
players scored touchdowns
and Jayden Dooley threw
for three scores.
The night started well
for Jackson County with a
66-yard touchdown run by
M.J. Spurlin. but Mountain
View responded with a 21-
yard pick-six from Jabari
Spencer. Dooley’s 12-yard
touchdown pass to Sean
Forbes early in the second
quarter put the Bears up
14-7.
Jackson County bot
tled up Mountain View’s
ground game for more than
a half until Jerome New-
land’s 36-yard touchdown
run with 8:51 left in the
third quarter. Before that
carry, the hosts had 14
rushes for 18 yards.
The Panthers answered
with their best drive, an 11-
play, 90-yard march that
ended with a 1-yard Spurlin
touchdown run. Within 21-
14, they followed with an
onside kick, but Mountain
View’s Brooks Bowbliss
scooped it up.
Things completely un
raveled from there for
Jackson County.
Robinson’s interception
and return to the 4-yard
line set up a scoring run on
the next play by Newland,
who rushed 11 times for
86 yards. A tackle for loss
by Gyamfi and a sack by
T.Z. Evans forced a quick
three-and-out and Moun
tain View’s offense quickly
capitalized on the opportu
nity.
Dooley (12 of 21 pass
ing, 120 yards) whipped
a pass out wide to Zyon
Davis, who raced down
the home sideline for a
44-yard touchdown with
32 seconds left in the third
quarter.
Jackson County fumbled
the ensuing kickoff, and
Mountain View scored on
the next play for a 42-14
lead with 14 seconds left
in the third quarter. Dooley
took a big hit on an RPO,
but spun off and hit Caleb
Farr for an 11-yard scoring
strike.
Jahmir Joseph and
Christian Hudgens tacked
on 24-yard TD runs in the
fourth quarter for the final
margin.
Spurlin carried 23 times
for 139 yards, but was
thrown for a loss nine
times. He added three
catches for 25 yards. Jack-
son County’s Jaydan Hib
bert caught six passes for
46 yards.
