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.

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
