Callaway Ends 00n+0000ith Playoff Loss
.... +-q_
It was the second half effort that ly sound that it's scary to think what
By JODY HALE
The road finally came to the end last
Friday night for the Callaway Cavaliers
as they lost their first round playoff
gameto Americus, 4_5-21. Americus, who
has won the AA State Championship the
past two years, ran their record to 114)
and looked primed to take home anoth-
er crown this year.
Callaway finished the season a
respectable 6-5. More importantly,
Callaway head coach Claude Giddens
now has a year under his belt and some
very talented players to build for the
future.
Despite the loss, Giddens was
pleased with his team's effort, especial-
ly a second half performance that left
little doubt that Callaway football has a
bright future. "I'm just as proud of these
guys as Ican be," said Giddens. "It would
have been so easy in the second half to
just pack it in and call it a year. But our
guys fought hard until the bitter end."
Callaway trailed at the half 39-14,
but actually 'won' the second half 7-6.
impressed Americus coach Erik Soliday,
a Georgia coaching icon that has seen
his share of good football teams come
and go.
"I'll tell you without question that
Callaway is a team to watch in the very
near future," said Soliday. 'Their coach-
es do a fine job and you could tell by
their second half performance that their
players have what it takes to be a win-
ner, and that's courage and determina-
tion. I've seen a lot of teams fold the tent
at halftime when they were down by 25
points. Combine that with the up and
coming talent they have and you know
they can be a solid competitor."
The Panthers, winners of 39 of their
last 40 games, struck early and often in
the first half leaving Callaway a little
shell-shocked. By the time the Cavs
made the needed adjustments,
Americus had all but put the game away.
"Fortunately for us, we came out of
the gates and moved the football well
in the first half," said Soliday. "If we
hadn't, it would have been a real battle
for us. Callaway is just so fundamental-
could have happened if we had not got-
ten those early touchdowns."
Giddens, alw',the optimist, saw
the reality of the situation his team
faced. "They haven't won the last two
state championships by accident," said
Giddens.
"We knew what we were up against.
We played a team that is at the level
where we want to be. And I really believe
we'll get there, it's just going to take
some time."
Callaway will not be deprived of tal-
ent due to graduation. Clantwan Martin,
a potential college prospect returns next
year along with quarterback Justin
Bray, who will be a sophomore. Add to
that running back Chris Tigner and a
more experienced line and the offense
seems poised to have a break-through
year in 2003.
"I'm optimistic about the direction
our team is headed," said Giddens. "I'm
not about to make any predictions about
the future because a lot of things can
happen. But we know where we want to
go and how we want things done."
