More football on tap for several area teams

By Steve Carter/Sports Editor

R.J. Davis added a 29-yard touchdown catch from Taylor.

Trenton Pruitt added eight rushes for 37 yards.

Also out of Region 1-AA, the Cook High Hornets knew they would enter the state playoffs as the league’s fourth seed before Friday night. However coach Jim Scroggins’ team will enter the playoffs with some momentum as the Hornets crushed Mitchell County 65-32 Friday.

They will enter the state playoffs on the road at a Swainsboro Tigers team that has Tifton connections.

Swainsboro, the champion of Region 3-AA, has former Tift assistant Shane Williamson as head coach and one of the assistant coaches is former Tift County Blue Devil Travis Ellington.

The Irwin County Indians got a 17-8 win Friday night over the Telfair County Trojans. That gave the Indians the fourth seed out of Region 2-A. The Indians will travel to Columbus Friday to face the Brookstone School Cougars, the champion of Region 4-A.

As of Saturday evening the only playoff team in the Tiftarea unaware of where they will be this weekend is the Worth County Rams.

In their regular season finale, coach Harris Rainbow’s Rams clinched a playoff spot with a 57-31 win over the Westover High Patriots. But Worth had to wait on the outcome of Saturday night’s Monroe-Dougherty game to find out where they would play in the first round.

A Monroe win would mean Worth would be the No. 4 seed from Region 1-AAA and would be on the road at Burke County, the Region 3-AAA champion. However a Dougherty win would give Worth the No. 2 seed and a home game against Cross Creek.

In the win over Westover, Worth had a 50-13 lead going into the fourth quarter.

“They scored three touchdowns on our junior varsity and our jayvee scored one touchdown on them,” said Rainbow.

Buster Jackson scored two touchdowns and went over 1,000 yards rushing on the year. Robert Span also had one touchdown receiving and went over 1,000 all-purpose yards during the 2007 season.

Quarterback Sam Youngblood threw three touchdown passed, two to Justin Tukes and the one to Span.

Arthur Blackmon and Jevontae Jackson also scored one touchdown apiece for the Rams.

“Our defense played pretty well. We played well as a team,” said Rainbow, who feels like his squad is peaking at the right time.
