The Carrollton Middle School football team used a pair of defensive stops on two-point conversions and another strong stand late in the fourth quarter to claim the West Georgia Middle School League “Big School” championship on Thursday evening in a 13-12 nail-biter over Bay Springs at Grisham Stadium.

The Trojans (8-0) took a 13-0 lead into the half, scoring on fourth-and-goal from the eight-yard line when Andy Smith connected with Hunter Hines on a slant on the opening possession of the game and an 85-yard punt return for a score by LaDamion Hunt. Thomas Culwell’s extra point kick after the first touchdown capped the 13-point margin.

In the second half, Bay Springs battled back, capitalizing on a Trojan turnover in the third quarter to get its first touchdown of the game and scoring again in the fourth quarter with an opportunity to take the lead. On both scores, however, Carrollton’s defense was able to negate the two-point conversion attempt.

Bay Springs had one last opportunity late in the fourth quarter, but the Trojan defense held strong and was able to give the ball back to its offense, which ran out the clock for the victory.

Holy Ground dominates North Georgia

The Holy Ground Baptist Academy football team earned a 61-26 victory over North Georgia last week to bounce back from its first two losses on the season, improving to 6-2 overall and 2-2 in region play.

Michael Yates started the scoring for HG, finding the end zone on a 64-yard run before North Georgia answered to take a 7-6 lead with 8:09 remaining in the opening quarter.

Holy Ground recaptured the lead on a 16-yard Deangelo Agan touchdown run, but once again North Georgia quickly responded, returning the ensuing kickoff 78 yards to pull within 14-13.

The Stallions would take a 20-13 lead after quarterback Demo Agan snuck in from two yards out late in the first quarter and then stretched the lead to 26-13 after Yates scored on a 14-yard run following a North Georgia turnover.

A pair of Deimarkys Agan touchdowns and a late North Georgia counter made the score 41-19 at the half.

In the second half, Holy Ground used a 47-yard Deangelo Agan touchdown run and two more Deimarkys Agan scores to put the game away.

The Stallions ate up 505 yards of offense on the night, with Deimarkys Agan recording four touchdowns. Garrett Denney led the defense with eight tackles, while Walt Denney had a pair of interceptions.

Holy Ground returns to action tonight at 7:30 against Colonial Hills Christian School in Lithia Springs.
