Game of the Week review!!!

Pro Wrestling or Football?

There were times in this clash of two undefeated teams to where it looked more like a wrestling match than a football game. As a North Hall alumni i was appalled at some of the plays made by the North Hall defense. It looked to me like they were trying to "take out" Flowery Branch's QB Jaybo Shaw along with other late hits and pass interference calls in the game. They were successful in "taking out" Jaybo late in the 4th quarter after what looked like a closeline to the neck or head after the play was over. Bill Goldberg a wwe,wcw superstar wrestler and a dawsonville native would have been proud of the North Hall defense because of their wrestler type hits and closelines. Granted North Hall's offense looked good but in all reality except for a couple of plays, the Flowery Branch offense just stopped themselves.
After a very emotional game both teams, coaches, and some fans, were face to face at the 50 yard line probably with some parting words and you can tell there is no love lost between these two cross county rivals. We will keep you updated on Jaybo Shaw's condition as the information is given to us.

Kenny's Keys in Review

1.) The Big 3 for North Hall: Hunter Wolf (23-156yds 1td ) Bobby Epps (5-3yds 0td), and i believe that even though his stats were not spectatular, Fabian Jackson (8-28yds rushing, 1-4 13yds passing) still was in control of this punshing running attack that dominated the game for the Trojans.
2.)Ball Control, ball control, ball control. The North Hall grinded out many drives that took big chunks of time throughout the game . It kept the powerful Flowery Branch offense off the field.
3.) Defense, though made some controversial hits, had 2 intercetions and a fumble recovery that gave North Hall hope of a victory and kept Jaybo Shaw to only 1 passing touchdown.

Flowery Branch actually outgained North Hall in yardage: 337 total yds (201 passing, 136 rushing) North Hall had (13 passing yds, 274 rushing yds.) 289 total yards, but once again where it counted, North Hall controlled the clock the entire game.

Turning Point of the Game:

North Hall had a 4th and 6 around the Falcon 26 yard line with the score 12-7 FB. North Hall made a gutsy call and gave the ball to the speedster #3 Seth Satterfield (3 rush 41yds 1td) on what looked like some kind of misdirection play, just squirted right up the middle untouched and scored the go ahead touchdown and with the extra point it was 14-12 and North Hall never looked back. Final score: North Hall 21 (#7)Flowery Branch 18

Big Man on Campus
North Hall running back Hunter Wolf deserves our first Big Man on Campus award with an outstanding performance with 23 rushes and 156yds and a touchdown. Flowery Branch really didn't have an answer for this bulldozer.

Honarable mention:
Justin Fordham Gainesville 8-8 151yds 4tds. 1 rush td
Walter Hill East Hall 13-19 247yds, 7rush 15yds.
