Red Devils fall to Lamar County, but live to fight again

BARNESVILLE — When the Red Devils limped out of here Friday night, it looked like they might be walking off a football field for good. Danarri Brown went from dependable to determined to dejected, having poured heart, soul and leg into trying to extend Jackson’s season into the Class AAA playoffs. The Red Devils hung with Lamar County for a scoreless first quarter, then watched two things — the Trojans pull away for a 32-7 victory and the Georgia High School Association playoff bracket online. Despite losing to Lamar County for the sixth consecutive meeting, Jackson (4-6 overall, 3-4 in Region 2-AAA) got the help it needed elsewhere across the state, with victories by Mary Persons, South Atlanta, and Lumpkin County, among others. The GHSA computer, thus armed with all the information it needed, on Saturday awarded the Red Devils Class AAA’s final playoff berth, opposite top-seeded Appling County (10-0). Coach Thomas Clark learned how the brackets fell in a Zoom call about 3:15 on Saturday afternoon. “It’s always good when you make the playoffs,” Clark said. “I knew that we were at the bottom.” The Red Devils were rewarded for playing a tough schedule, but like most teams still

In clash of state champions, Carver wins fourth straight region title

The Carver Tigers (6-4, 4-0) defeated the Worth County Rams (5-4, 3-1) 42-14 Friday night at Odis Spencer Stadium in Columbus to win their fourth straight Georgia High School Association football region title. Last season, Carver won the GHSA Class 2A football state championship, and Worth County won the Class 1A title, but reclassification put them in Class 3A Region 1 this year. Carver took the opening drive and went up 7-0, thanks to a 6-yard touchdown run by senior running back Jamar Williams. The Tigers forced a three-and-out on Worth County’s first offensive drive. Then they extended their lead to 14-0 when senior running back Kaidon Williams scored on a 4-yard touchdown run to end the first quarter. Carver wasted no time getting the ball back and had great field position after senior defensive back Caleb Lewis blocked the punt and freshman defensive end Damonte Huntley recovered it. The Tigers scored their third rushing touchdown of the game, this time by freshman running back Toronto Jenkins for a 21-0 lead. Worth County got on the scoreboard when junior linebacker Noah Martin recovered a fumble for a touchdown, trimming the Carver to 21-7 with 6:24 left in the first half.

Columbus girls win team and individual cross country state championships

Columbus High School won the Class 4A girl team and individual state titles Friday during the Georgia High School Association state championship cross county meet at Carrollton High School. This is the third cross country championship for the Columbus girls since 2010. The school won state titles in 2008 and 2010. Columbus junior Olivia DiQuattro now has won three straight individual cross country championships. This was her first title in the Class 4A. The previous years (2024, 2025) were in Class 2A. DiQuattro ran the 5,000-meter course in a time of 19:02:98. The second-place runner finished about 21 seconds behind DiQuattro. With DiQuattro finishing first, it was a major factor for the entire team to win the state championship. The Blue Devils were awarded a total of 54 points, and they had the lowest score of all the 4A teams based on the order of finish from the top five runners. Columbus runners finished in first, sixth, seventh, 17th and 23rd, while the team that came in second (Oconee County) scored 85 points. “It’s the hard work that pays off — the everyday after school,” Columbus High cross country head coach Danielle McCoy told the Ledger-Enquirer. “One of things we

FPD can't maintain hot start, falls to St. Anne-Pacelli in home playoff game

Brett Collier had more words than usual as he stood in the middle of players, cheerleaders, families and fans after yet another game. Then he was done, and a path opened for him to depart. And suddenly, a collection of a 100 or so adults and another 100 high schoolers hardly moved, and there was an odd and mournful silence for a collection that large that lasted about a minute. A season-ending loss at home will do that. FPD got off to a dream start, but St. Anne-Pacelli eventually woke up and had a strong second half for a 28-14 win Friday at George S. Johnson Memorial Stadium in a GIAA Class 4A first-round playoff game. “They’ve got really good team speed,” said Collier, whose team lost 22-21 to St. Anne Pacelli on the same field to, ironically, open the season. “You can’t give them things.” FPD’s season ended at 6-5, the first time under the fourth-year head coach the Vikings didn’t win a playoff game. St. Anne-Pacelli improved to 7-4 and will be back in town next week to play Stratford. The first quarter was a near-perfect FPD script. St. Anne-Pacelli had a nice opening possession going, sparked by
