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.”

Though I am writing this in April the garden season in Georgia has been a blast and Fresco has been my favorite. You no doubt are pondering what Fresco is?
Well Fresco is a new hydrangea making its debut this year. So, I better get the correct name front and center. It is Fairytrail Fresco Cascade Hydrangea.
So, the fact that The Garden Guy is telling you I have fallen madly in love with a hydrangea that has been blooming in April already starts to stir the imagination.
Proven Winners tells everyone up front that it is early to bloom but Fairytrail Fresco was already blooming when other hydrangeas were deciding if they were going to live through the winter with the repeating vortex.
