the football after the Eagles' free kick and bined for 14
By JOD.Y HALE
A Hollywood screenplay executed like
the drama played out by the Callaway
Cavaliers and the "lYi-Comnty Eagles last
Friday night would be a blockbuster at the
box office. For the Cavs, the script could
not have been xTitten mW better.
In a game that seemed like a micro-
cosm of the Callaway season, the Cavaliers
came from behind three times to defeat
qYi-Cotmty 24-23, securing the fourth and
final region 4-AA playoff spot.
"\\;Vhat a way to win a game," said
Callaway head coach Claude Giddens.
"Our guys just kept fighting and some-
hoxL in the least likely was; we found a
way to win."
The dranm, ironically enough, began
when Callawag down 23-22, drove the ball
to the Iragles 14 yard line and seemed
poised to position themselves for at least
a field goal opportunity. However, back-
up quazerback Kowalski Patterson thi-ew
an interception with less than two mijmtes
to play in the fourth quarter.
As fate would have it though, Tri-
Comity had to stm't their drive from their
oxl one yard line.
"IPying to just run out the clock, Tri-
County quarterback Brian Scott injured
his thumb and a freshman was inserted
at quarterback.
On the very next pla); the snap from
center was bobbled and recovered by the
Eagles in the end zone for a Callaway safe-
ty and a 24-23 lead. Calla,way protected
walked away with the state playoffs as
their next stop.
Giddens was happy with the win, but
felt compassion for Tri-County's freshman
quarterback.
"That's a tough spot to be in regard-
less of the experience factor, but with so
much riding on this game it really put a
ninth grader in a pressure situation. It's
unfortunate for them but that's just part
of the game. We were lucky to get a big
break at the end of the game,"said Giddens.
LADY LUCK HAS been good to the
Cavaliers lately, after being so cruel the
first part of the season.
This game, in a sense, paralleled
Callaway's roller coaster season. Just two
weeks ago, it looked as though they would
be playing for pride and building for next
year but the Cars got a big break when
Southeast Macon had to forfeit six wins
for playing an ineligible player. That left
the door open for Callaway to steal the
playoff spot by winning their final two
games, which they did. A loss would have
created a three-way tie for fourth place
with Manchester and Tri-County.
"I think this team has experienced
about every emotion possible," said
Giddens.
"One week we're dejected for not mak-
ing the playoffs and the next week we're
right back in the race. It's all been very
exciting."
The game looked like it was going to
be a shootout when the two teams com-
two seconds of the game.
Callaway took advantage of an
fumble and Chris r scored to l
Cavaliers up 7-0. On the
"li-County's Keidrick Wilson raced
yards for a touchdown that tied the
with 1ff.58 still to go in the gust quarter.
Both teams' defenses stiffened
that and neither team could
a sustained drive. Tri-Countv
er touchdown and a Callawa]
the Cars got another touchdown
Tigner to make the score
running out in the third quarter. ......
With 22 seconds left in the
a two point conversion run to put
Cavaliers back on top 22-16.
Tri-County came right back with
touchdown at the six minute mark to
the visitors back up, 23-22_
Martin's run also pushed the
rushing yards over the 1,000 mark for
season. Martin finhed the
yards rushing.
"We'd been running our traps

great job. All I bad to do
