Big Game of the Week FB vs.Gainesville

The Battle at the Branch

Wow, i say wow, that was all i could say after this game. This was one for the ages, folks. The undefeated powerhouse of Gainesville versus the up and coming Flowery Branch Falcons. If you were not at this game it was your loss. It had to be one of the best played high school games i have ever seen. This game was back and forth, but with 7 minutes left to go in the 4th quarter, Zach Veatch caught a 19 yard touchdown pass that turned out to be the game winner. Finally for the first time in school history, Flowery Branch has knocked off Gainesville 35-28 in the 1st game of the subregion. This had to be the biggest win in their five years of existence!! Here is what Coach Lee Shaw had to say to the Gainesville Times: "The entire team responded tonight and finished the drill, this is really a remarkable feat for our program"

Kenny's Key's
Flowery Branch

1.) Shawshank Redemption:
Jaybo Shaw showed no signs of slowing down and he did lead this team up and down the field. The Falcons definitely got some redemption and showed alot of heart and courage. I believe that this was one of his best overall games of the season, not only stats but just the will to win.

2.)Flowery Branch mixed up the plays beautifully and stayed patient. They kept Gainesville on their heels especially in the 2nd half. The Falcons were able to stretch the field with the pass and were able to run the ball. Jaybo Shaw had 249 passing yds (2tds) to 5 different receivers plus 122 rushing yards (1td)

3.)The Flowery Branch defense at times couldn't stop the running game of Gainesville, but they made some game changing plays, especially on a couple of 4th down and short plays. The Falcon defense stepped up to the challenge and lived up to their name as the most dominant defense in the region.



Kenny's Keys
Gainesville

1.) The Falcons held QB Justin Fordham to 9-18 passing for 104 yds 1 passing td, 1 rush td and
1 interception. He was not very effective at all.
Note: Gainesville also had 5 fumbles, but only lost one of them.


2.) Tyler Adetona had 4 catches 68 yds. and 1 td. Javohn Hutchins had 1 interception return for a touchdown. The only sparkplug for Gainesville on Friday, Kendrick Harris, had 22 carries

127 yards 1 td. Flowery Branch, at times, had a hard time stopping this elusive back.


3.) Gainesville, simply could not stop the balance attack, especially in the 2nd half. The Gainesville secondary were torched, time after time. They really didn't make a big play except for the fumble recovery and the interception in the 1st half.

Gainesville needs to recover as they play a strong Pickens County team as Flowery Branch has the week off.

Stay tuned because Daniel will be breaking down the rest of the region games and the Big Man on Campus along with some Honorable Mention. Look for pics from this game as well!!
