Saint Jo was looking to keep their playoff hopes alive at Harley Sewell Field, hosting a strong Newcastle squad.
However the Panthers were unable to pass the test, falling to 4-5 with a 0-2 District 9-1A-I mark after a 52-6 loss to the Bobcats.
“We ran a different offense than in past years,” said head coach Chad Tallon. “We felt it was the best way to contend with Newcastle.”
Despite an unsuccessful opening drive for the Panthers followed by a successful opening drive for the Bobcats, Saint Jo turned up the heat defensively, recovering two fumbles.
Then in the final stages of the first quarter, after being tipped by a Newcastle defender, a Garrett Parker pass found its way into the hands of Wyatt West who was down on his back in the end zone for the touchdown.
Since neither team was able to make the two-point conversion kick, the score was tied at six after one.
“The defense played great in the first quarter,” Tallon said. “They actually played okay all night. We just weren’t able to capitalize on Newcastle’s mistakes.”

Supertunia Mini Vista Pink Cloud petunia is having its debut year or thanks to Susan Middleton Turner in south Georgia’s zone 9 Miller County it’s breakout year.
Susan’s house looks quite like a movie set, and you would have to think that Supertunia Mini Vista petunias play a prominent role.
Last year it was the award-winning Supertunia Mini Vista Indigo that dazzled with incredible color. The petunias were planted in banister baskets across the front of the house. I featured her photos in an article I wrote about Mini Vista petunias.
