Wilcox wins

Wilcox County had too many big plays for Athens Academy to keep it close in the second half. The Patriots rolled to a 32-14 win and will play the winner of ECI and Clinch County for the Class A state championship game next weekend.

Wilcox County quarterback Lorenzo Dennard passed for 331 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Patriots.

Athens Academy's season comes to an end a week after beating Brookstone 14-13 in the quarterfinals.

Speed kills

Homer Simpson once said, "I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around a city, keeping its speed over fifty, and if its speed dropped, it would explode! I think it was called... The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

That's exactly what Chamblee will be trying to do today. That speeding bus is the Carver offense, and not a lot of teams have been able to slow it down.

Carver quarterback DeRon Furr has hurt opposing teams with his arm and his feet. He has more than 1,800 yards of total offense this season.

If Chamblee can slow down that bus, the Bulldogs can win. But that's a big IF, and I don't see it happening.

Carver should win by 13.
