A close Region 8-AAAA
game got out of hand seemingly
in a matter of seconds Friday
night.
Leading just 14-7, Loganville
outscored Madison County 20-7
in the third quarter — turning
two crucial turnovers into imme
diate points — in a 37-22 win
over the Raiders in Danielsville.
"We knew it was going to
be one of those games where
we were going to play awfully
well," coach Randell Owens
said. "If you make mistakes in a
big game like that, it's just very
unforgiving.”
The loss ended Madison
County's five-game winning
streak.
Trailing by only a touchdown,
Madison County fumbled the
ball away on its first possession
of the second half with just over
10:00 remaining in the third
quarter. Loganville’s Storm
Johnson answered by breaking
off a 46-yard touchdown ran on
the next play. Madison County
then fumbled away the subse
quent kickoff and Loganville's
A.J. Schmidt threw a 33-yard
touchdown pass one play later to
give the Red Devils a 27-7 lead
with 9:50 left in the third quarter.
Loganville tacked on another
touchdown in the period to take
a 34-7 lead.
Madison County ran just five
plays in the third quarter, but did
get a momentary boost when
Jamal Cooper returned a kickoff
85 yards to cut the lead to 34-14.
It was Cooper’s third return for a
touchdown this season.

Loganville added a field goal
in the fourth quarter, while
Raider quarterback Jacob Owens
scored from 12 yards out — his
second touchdown of the night
— with 3:08 left in the game.
But it was too little, too late.
The Red Devils controlled the
line of scrimmage, running for
366 yards. Johnson, a major col
lege prospect who de-committed
from LSU, finished with 179
rushing yards and three touch
downs. Mykel Wyyett added
122 more on the ground and one
touchdown.
Loganville recorded 25 first
downs to Madison County’s
seven. The Red Devils also lim
ited the Raiders to just 92 yards
rushing and 166 total yards.
Owens added that it would
have helped “to have some chal
lenge flags" on some key close
calls during the game.
“That would have been sweet
to be able to do that and have
some things reversed, but that's
life,” he said.
Madison County looked in
position early to win its sixth-
straight game, leading 7-0 in
the first quarter after a one-yard
touchdown mn from Owens.
That score was set up by a
Matt Dean interception at the
Loganville 28.
But Johnson warmed up in
the second quarter, scoring two
touchdowns in the period to give
Loganville a 14-7 lead.
The loss moves the Raiders
back into a tie for second
place in 8-AAAA with Clarke
Central. Both teams have 5-2
records. Loganville is half a
game back at 4-2.
