Oct. 30—MOULTRIE — Colquitt County did exactly what it needed to do on Friday to claim a first-round state playoff football game.
The Packers scored 17 first-quarter points and allowed Tift County just one touchdown in a 31-6 victory that gives them the No. 2 seed from Region 1-7A and the opportunity to play host to the No. 3 team from Region 3 on Friday, Nov. 12, in the first-round of the state playoffs.
The Packers, stung by a 52-31 loss at Lowndes the previous week, rolled up 121 yards on the ground and 121 yards through the air in the first 24 minutes, leaving the Blue Devils, content to keep the ball on the ground, no chance to make a game of it.
