Madison County's Hopes Die in Death Valley

Posted by Randell Owens at Nov 6, 2009 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )
reprinted from The Mainstreet News online edition November 7, 2009

Early Raider lead doesn’t hold up in 31-13 loss to Clarke Central

ATHENS — Madison County’s playoff hopes basically ended at halftime Friday when it heard that Loganville led Winder-Barrow 34-6.

Then, the Red Raiders’ hopes for a consolation victory over Clarke Central died soon after.

The Gladiators’ Jeremy Hughes started the third quarter with a 65-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, opening the floodgates for a 28-point second half from Clarke Central as the Gladiators raced past Madison County 31-13 in Death Valley in Athens.

Madison County (5-5), which needed to win and have Loganville lose to advance to the playoffs, finishes the season on a four-game losing skid following a 5-1 start.

As Clarke Central (8-2) celebrated securing a no. 2 seed in the playoffs, Madison County reluctantly had to talk about turning in the equipment for the season.

“I’m proud of each and everyone of you,” Madison County coach Randell Owens told his team in the postgame huddle. “The way you fought together and bled together … Always remember that these are your brothers.”

For the second straight week, the Red Raiders — who scored early last Friday against Apalachee with a 51-yard touchdown on a fake punt — jumped out to a quick lead with an unconventional score and then didn’t find the endzone again until the game was out of hand.

This week's big play came from Marquis Thomas, who scooped a fumble midway through the first quarter and returned it 65 yards to give Madison County a 7-0 lead over the Gladiators. But the Red Raiders — who led 7-3 at halftime — came unhinged in the second half.

The Gladiators followed Hughes’ special teams score with a 15-yard touchdown from Dimitri Holmes, a 16-yard touchdown pass from Martay Mattox to Hughes and a deflating 52-yard touchdown run from Quenshaun Watson to turn the game into a rout.

Madison County scored very late as Jacob Owens hit receiver Patrick McCrary for a 37-yard touchdown on the final pass of his high school career.

Clarke Central held nearly a 2-1 edge in total yardage over Madison County, rushing for 227 yards and passing for 122, as it won for the 17th time in its last 20 regular season games.

The Red Raiders again struggled on the ground, rushing for just 54 yards on 38 carries.

Madison County, which had sole possession of second place in Region 8-AAAA one month ago, finishes in sixth in the final standings.

Playing for Pride or Postseason

Posted by Randell Owens at Nov 4, 2009 4:00PM PST ( 0 Comments )

reprinted from The Mainstreet News online November 5, 2009 edition

Winning season within grasp, but playoffs uncertain

by Ben Munro

A win Friday may not guarantee a playoff berth, but Madison County can find motivation in plenty of other places.

Losers of their last three games, the Red Raiders (5-4) face Clarke Central (7-2) Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Billy Henderson Stadium with a chance to stop that losing skid, capture the program’s first winning season in three years and beat one of their main rivals.

Those non-playoff incentives should have Madison County ready to play, Raider head coach Randell Owens said.

“I hope so,” he said. “I think they would be ... We’re hurting, but we’ve got to grow up and rise up and get over it and move and take advantage of the opportunity that is in front of us — a winning season.”

All hope is not lost on postseason front, either, but the Red Raiders need major help this Friday.

The “easiest” scenario is for Salem (6-3) to lose to region champion Apalachee (9-0) and Winder-Barrow (2-7) upset Loganville (5-4), which would propel Madison County to the no. 4 seed with a victory.

There’s another possibility that Madison County, Salem and Rockdale County (which would have to lose to 0-9 Monroe Area) could finish in a three-way tie for third with 6-4 records. With only two playoff spots available, the three teams would have to play GHSA-mandated mini games next Monday to determine those playoff spots.

“The top two teams out of that (mini-game) deal would go to the playoffs for the third and fourth spots and the loser of that deal would be out,” Owens said.

But first things first: The Red Raiders must beat a very good Clarke Central team for either of these scenarios to work out.
Clarke Central, in its fourth season under coach Leroy Ryals, is coming off a 55-12 victory over Winder-Barrow and can finish with an 8-2 record with a victory Friday. The Gladiators are trying to secure a no. 2 seed in the region.

The Red Raiders enter this game following a 31-14 loss to Apalachee last week. Madison County led 7-0 early after a 51-yard pass on a fake punt from Stan Maxwell to Presly McKeever, but the highlights were otherwise limited in the Red Raiders’ third straight loss.

Madison County’s recent losing skid has dropped it from second in Region 8-AAAA — and region title contention — to fifth.
The disappointment surrounding possibly not making the playoffs underscores the difference between the program now and six years ago when the main concern was whether or not it could survive region play, Owens said.

“Six years ago nobody is thinking about the playoffs,” Owens said. “We’re just thinking, hey, beat somebody… And that’s really where you want to be. You want to be where your kids have an expectation to win.”

But there’s much to be said for a 6-4 finish, he added.

“We could end up and get a break (and get to the playoffs), but, you know, a winning season would be huge,” Owens said.
