By JODY HALE
After starting the season with high
hopes for another playoff season, the
Callaway
Cavaliers found themselves in a mid-
season funk after dropping their first
four games of the season. The Cavaliers
turned in lackluster performances in
each of their losses and put themselves
in a position where they had to face last
year's region champion Lamar County
in what could have been touted as a 'must
win' game.
Callaway responded with a crucial
win, beating the Trojans 27-21 in front
of a large homecoming crowd at
Callaway Stadium last Friday night.
"The halfway point of the season is
not where you expect to play such an
important game," said Callaway head
coach Claude Giddens. "But we were
really struggling. Starting 0-5 would
have been very demoralizing. 1-4 does-
n't sound much better but at least it lets
us control our future for the rest of the
season."
Despite the usual distractions that
come with the festivities of homecom-
for this game than they have been all
year.
Carl Epps, one of the players
Giddens looks to for leadership on the
field, characterized the win as a possi-
ble turning point in the season.
"This was big, a real big win", said
Epps. "We came out with our minds
made up to put together a solid game
from everybody. We wanted to play
football like we know we're capable."
It was an Epps fourth quarter touch-
down reception that proved to be the
difference in the game.
The Cavaliers built a 21-7 third quar-
ter lead that evaporated when the high
octane Lamar offense came to life with
two unanswered touchdowns to tie the
game midway through the final quar-
ter.
That's when Callaway turned in what
was arguably the most important drive
of the season.
Starting at their own 19 yard line,
Callaway drove 81 yards for the touch-
down to put the Cavaliers up by six with
just'over a minute left in the game. The
drive was highlighted by runs Epps and
Demarrion McI)owell and a Justin Bray
to the Trojan 31 yard line. A
Bray and a Callaway penalty put
Cavaliers in a third and 25
Bray and Epps then connected on a
fectly timed pass that Epps

up 27-21 with just 1:19 remaining.

said the game was

"We all feel like an incredible
has been lifted off our shoulders,"
Giddens. "Everybody was on
page tonight and we played with
intensity it takes to win in this
I'm real proud of this team and
effort in this game."
