Ben Munro/staff Football 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.

Softball ... continued from page IB son, while Bolin hit .326 with a team-high 31 RBI 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, Kesler said.
