Aug. 21—MOULTRIE- After falling behind 12-0 less than five minutes into the game and trailing 18-7 at the half, it appeared a young and inexperienced Colquitt County football team had little chance of leaving Marietta's Northcutt Stadium with a win on Friday in its season-opener.
But the Packers defense stood tall in the final two quarters, keeping the Blue Devils scoreless until 61 seconds were left in the game and hanging on for a 28-25 victory.
Trailing 18-7, Colquitt scored 21 unanswered points in the first 23 minutes of the second half as the Packers harassed Marietta quarterback Tyler Hughes and got a defensive touchdown and a special teams touchdown along the way.
