The early morning is not usually
thought of as prime football time, but the PACE Panthers didn't seem to
mind the early start time as they cruised to a 27-0 victory over Grace
Chriatian of Columbus on Saturday, Aug. 27. The early start time was due
to the county jamboree at McCurry Park.
"It was a tough situation but we seemed to shake off the cobwebs
and get after them pretty good," said Panther coach Mike Hall.
John Billups rushed for 115 yards and scored two touchdowns, while Kelly
Coats added 84 yards rushing and one touchdown. PACE led 20-0 after the
first quarter.
Josh McKibben intercepted two Grace passes and scored a touchdown after
a 33 yard return. Cedric Allen led the defense with eight hits. The Panthers
defense limited Grace to less than a 100 yards of total offense and forced
three turnovers in the victory.
The Panthers traveled to Kennesaw on Friday for a match with Colonial
Hills.
