MILLEDGEVILLE —  

Trojans go to 3-0

John Milledge Academy moved continued their unbeaten streak against a Macon powerhouse Friday night. The Trojans beat Tattnall 10-0 on the road with suffocating defense.

Head coach J.T. Wall said his team controlled the ball game for the first three quarters, despite the scoreless result. Two JMA possessions found the red zone with no luck.

Turnovers and some dropped passes kept things tight, as the Trojans shot themselves in the foot on offense.

The defense made all the difference once again. Wall was pleased with how the defensive line flew around.

Junior Trent Thiel broke the scoreless tie with 7:00 left in the fourth off a 25-yard field-goal.

JMA scored a defensive touchdown to end the game.

“It was very fitting for the only touchdown to be a defensive score. Dwayne Boone pretty much took the handoff from the quarterback in the end zone,” Wall said.

The Trojans played well in all three phases against Tattnall, especially hanging their hats on the defense and offensive line play.

Senior Cooper Morgan had 31 carries for 175 yards.

“It feels great to beat a historic program like Tattnall with the prestige they have. At the same time, it’s still week three,” Wall said. “This is a big win, but we don’t want this to be the biggest win we have this year.”

JMA goes on the road once again to Dublin to face Trinity next Friday.

Braves lose to powerhouse

Peach County has the Baldwin High School’s number lately. The Trojans ran past the visiting Braves 35-7 Friday night.

BHS got down 14-0 early in the first quarter. A fumble and sloppy errors let Peach build the lead.

Sophomore quarterback Tajhea Chambers connected with senior Deon Kelsey for a seven yard touchdown pass in the middle of the second quarter.

The Braves made it to halftime with a manageable 14-7 deficit.

The final half started poorly for Baldwin with a three and out. Peach blocked a punt, and the subsequent score gave the home team a 21-7 advantage.

Baldwin seemed to have the energy sucked out of them after that event.

Peach continued to pour on the offense adding two more scores in the third quarter. Star receiver Demarcus Robinson found the end-zone to help Peach go up 35-7.

The number one AAA team in the state poured on the lead in the fourth.

Braves head coach Dexter Copeland has a young team he is trying to mold. BHS wants to be ready later in the season.

They face Washington County at home next week.

GMC Prep wins 42-26 over Glascock

The Georgia Military College Prep Bulldogs traveled to Gibson to face region 7-A opponent Glascock County and left with a 42-26 victory.

GMC got on the board first with a touchdown, but followed  with a missed extra point. Glascock scored next to put the game at 8-6, but it would be the last time the Bulldogs were down.

The Bulldogs led at the half 35-14.

In the second half, the Bulldogs ran away from Glascock 42-20 with a minute remaining.

GMC Prep head coach Brad Owens liked the improvement from week one.

We pretty much where clicking on all cylinders. We felt like we played pretty well offensively. We limited them pretty well,” Owens said.

The Bulldogs had 327 yards on 29 rush attempts to go with 83 yards passing.

Quan Wright was the leading rusher with four attempts for 107 yards. Taylor Payne added 99 yards on the ground for three touchdowns and two two-point conversions.

Freshman Christian Burney had three kickoff returns for 121 yards. Quarterbacks Colby Lawrence and Rekarches Griffin both had one touchdown pass.

The defense showed up as well. Taylor Payne had 10 tackles with two going for loss.

Devonta Walker posted six tackles and five assisted tackles. Wesley Watson and Malik Bradely combined for 13 tackles

The Bulldogs will take on Riverside Military Academy next week, Sept. 14, for their home opener. Owens will have GMC ready for the Military Bowl.
