His explosive playmaking repeatedly kept Warner Robins within striking distance and ultimately helped fuel the comeback when Perry appeared to have taken control.Perry entered the night riding a four-game winning streak and looking for its first victory over Warner Robins since 1965. The Panthers played like a team intent on ending that drought.Behind quarterback Jhamard Cobb, running back Kam Oliver and a productive rushing attack, Perry consistently moved the chains and controlled long stretches of the game.The Panthers finished with 31 first downs and rushed 46 times for 234 yards, according to the Sportsmic postgame numbers. Perry finished with approximately 346 yards of total offense, repeatedly extending possessions and keeping the Warner Robins defense on the field.Brhyson Gordon also supplied one of Perry’s explosive scoring plays as the Panthers built their advantage.But Warner Robins kept answering.Even though Perry controlled possession and produced far more first downs, the Demons countered with chunk plays. Warner Robins finished with roughly 481 yards of offense, including approximately 310 through the air, much of it coming through Cannon.The different offensive styles produced a back-and-forth first half and set the stage for the drama that followed after intermission.Perry eventually stretched its advantage to 14 points in the second half and appeared to be closing in on a breakthrough victory in the series. The Panthers had been the steadier offense for much of the night and had Warner Robins in a position where the Demons could no longer afford an empty possession.Then the game flipped.Warner Robins scored to cut the deficit to one possession, got the defensive stop it desperately needed and went back to work offensively.Cannon continued to create problems on the outside, and the Demons moved into position for one final shot at the lead.With less than two minutes remaining, Warner Robins reached the end zone again to complete the 14-point comeback and move in front 34-33.Perry still had an opportunity to answer, but the Panthers couldn’t produce the winning score before time expired.The finish spoiled what had been a strong performance for Perry and snapped the Panthers’ four-game winning streak.For Warner Robins, it was almost the opposite.The Demons entered the regular-season finale coming off losses to Ola and Jones County and badly needed a response. Instead of allowing that difficult stretch to define their finish, they rallied from two touchdowns down and closed the regular season with one of their biggest wins of the year.Warner Robins finishes 6-4 overall and 4-2 in Region 2-AAAAA, while Perry finishes 5-5 overall and 4-2 in region play.The Perry loss also settled the race at the top of the region.Jones County claims the Region 2-AAAAA championship, finishing 5-1 in region play along with Ola. The Greyhounds earn the championship by virtue of their 17-14 head-to-head victory over the Mustangs.Warner Robins and Perry now turn their attention to the GHSA’s final postseason rankings.Both are projected to make the Class 5A playoff field as road teams, with Warner Robins sitting 27th and Perry 31st in the Friday-night rankings. Their final seeds and first-round opponents will be determined when the GHSA publishes its final playoff rankings early Saturday morning.That likely means difficult first-round assignments against highly seeded opponents for both Middle Georgia programs.For Warner Robins, though, Friday night’s comeback could prove especially important. Instead of entering the postseason on a three-game losing streak, the Demons head into the playoffs with momentum after overcoming a 14-point deficit in the regular-season finale.Perry will have to quickly regroup after coming within minutes of ending a decades-long drought against the Demons.And Jones County, watching from home Friday night, came away as the other big winner.</div></body>
