7-AAA Game Recaps from Oct 27
Johnson - 33, Gainesville - 31
What happened: If I told you that one team had 478 total yards and the other had 299 total yards, which team do you think would win? Well, in this one Johnson only tallied 299 total yards but they made enough plays to pull off this HUGE upset at City Park. Gainesville went 1-5 on extra point tries and this was the difference in the game. Johnson's defense made 2 big plays stopping GHS on 4th and 1 and stopping them on 4th and 9 on their own 29 to end the game. This was certainly not the same team that Kenny and I saw play against West Hall. JHS gave a spirited effort and made this the biggest win for them in this series history.
What lies ahead: Johnson will look to keep their playoff hopes alive at home against sub-region leader Flowery Branch. Gainesville will look to rebound at home vs West Hall next week. This is a must-win game for the Red Elephants in order to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. They most likely will need Johnson to lose their last 2 games as well.
Player of the Game: Jared Williams, QB; The Senior QB found the endzone on a 39 yard TD run to put his team ahead late in the 4th qtr. He also had 2 other TD runs and finished the game with 88 yds on the ground and 143 yds passing with 0 interceptions.
Flowery Branch - 35, Pickens - 6
What Happened: The FB defense shut down the Pickens ground game and created some turnovers (with help from Pickens). The FB defense had 3 fumble recoveries, 3 interceptions, & 3 sacks. In fact, they made 13 tackles for loss or no gain and held Pickens to 12 yards on the ground in the 1st half. On the other side of the ball, Jaybo Shaw was on his game and had 250+ yds on the ground and thru the air and also put the ball in the square box at the end of the field 4 times. This game however did turn on a special teams play early in the 2nd qtr with Pickens leading 6-0, Daniel Mendez broke thru and blocked a punt and returned it for a TD to put FB up 7-6. It was all FB from there.
What lies ahead: For FB, they will have to face an upstart Johnson team in Oakwood and for Pickens they have a week off before playing Johnson the last week of the regular season.
Player of the Game: Flowery Branch defense; Led the way with 6 turnovers forced and blocked a punt to put momentum on their side. The defense stepped up and made plays and shut down the Pickens ground game. Honorable mention to Jabyo Shaw and his 172 yds rushing and 86 yards passing with 4 TDs
East Hall - 14, White Co. - 10
What Happened: White Co. had the lead late in the 4th qtr until Walter Hill connected with Jay Jackson to set up the go ahead TD by Josh Vargas. It sounds as if White Co. came to play and cut out the turnovers and actually had a chance to win this game. Also, they made a change at QB(according to the Times) and went with Senior Quint Moss. He didn't have spectacular stats but he gave his team a chance to win the game. In the end, Hill made a play to win the game for East Hall.
What lies ahead: East Hall will travel up the road to visit North Hall in what should be a very interesting matchup between the EH offense and the NH defense. White Co. will also be on the road to take on Gilmer.
Player of the Game: Walter Hill, QB; He accounted for 206 total yds with 1 TD on the ground and 1 TD thru the air
North Hall - 53, Lumpkin - 0
What happened: Another game, another shut-out for this stout NH defense. Their offense put up 4 scores in the 1st half to go up 25-0 and in the 2nd half they put in alot of the reserves and they also put up several scores. They had 3 QB's complete passes and 10 players carried the rock as NH put up 395 total yards of offense. Obviously this wasn't a close game and wasn't expected to be close either.
What lies ahead: North Hall will get to play East Hall in the Brickyard. Lumpkin travels over to Chestatee looking for their first win of the year.
Player of the Game: Hunter Wolf, RB; Went for 106 yards rushing and 2 TDs to help his team trample the helpless Indians
