Another key interception came late in the 4th quarter by Smith, and several key tackles by Jeremy Butts stymied the Tigers’ efforts throughout the game.
Peewees (11&12)
The Falcon peewees needing the win to stay in the playoff race, stepped up big against a very tough Crystal Springs team. Both defenses were very stingy in the game. The Falcons would score the only touchdown with just 42 seconds in the 1st half on an 18 yard pass and catch from QB Akavion Griffith to Montavis Hobbs. Strong defensive play from Arron Martin, Prinston Miller, Keith Powell, Bubba Drennen and Porter shutdown the Tigers’ offensive attack. They only managed 79 yards of total offense and just 2 first downs. Outstanding Job!
Next week all teams travel to Newton County in non-conference play to head into the second half of the regular season. GO FALCONS!!!
