continued from page IB
County a 7-0 lead over the Gladiators. But the Red Raiders — who
led 7-3 at halftime — came unhinged in the second half as Clarke
Central adjusted to Madison County’s defensive scheme.
The Gladiators followed Hughes’ long special teams score with a
15-yard touchdown from Dimitri Holmes and a 16-yard touchdown
pass from Martay Mattox to Hughes to go up 24-7.
‘They’ve got awfully good receivers and the quarterback throws the
ball really well,” Owens said.
A deflating 52-yard touchdown run from Quenshaun Watson turned
the game into a rout.
Madison County scored very late as Jacob Owens hit receiver Patrick
McCrary for a 37-yard touchdown on the final pass of his high school
career.
Clarke Central held nearly a 2-1 edge in total yardage over Madison
County, rushing for 227 yards and passing for 122, as it won for the
17th time in its last 20 regular season games.
The Red Raiders again struggled on the ground, rushing for just 54
yards on 38 carries.
"Bottom line, we hoped to be able to drive the football better than we
did and change field position and create field position better than did,
but we weren’t able to,” Owens said.
Madison County, which had sole possession of second place in
Region 8-AAAA one month ago, finished in sixth in the final stand
ings.
But Owens said he’ll have fond memories of this group — with or
without the playoffs.
‘The thing that I’ll take away from it and think about is a team that
really came together and how hard they worked in the preseason and
how well they played together,” he said.

and .511 slugging percentage. Bolin tied Heritage’s
Callie Alford in Player of the Year voting.
Including Gibson and Bolin, Madison County
earned five first-team all-region selections. The oth
ers were second baseman Olivia Duncan (.348 avg.,
23 RBI), center fielder Samantha LaZear (.388 avg.,
11 stolen bases) and left fielder Haley Peeples (.383,
15 RBI, 18 stolen bases).
Earning second-team accolades were shortstop
Abby Atkinson, right fielder Ariel Bates (.369 avg.)
and third baseman Brandi Osborne ( .329, 18 RBI).
Madison County’s eight selections led the region,
followed by Loganville (six), Apalachee (four),
Habersham Central (four), Heritage (four), Rockdale
County (two), Salem (one) and Winder-Barrow
(one).
Winning a region championship usually helps
bolster a team’s representation on all-region teams,
