| Summary: The Escambia County Blue Devils
claimed their first state championship since 1974 by shutting
down the Emma Sansom offense all night long. They did it on the
strength of running back Murray Hill and his two touchdowns.
Hill scored on runs of 11 yards with 1:11 remaining in the third
quarter and 16 yards with just 2:06 left in the game to seal the
victory. On the night he would rush for 103 yards on 22 carries.
The Blue Devil's defense would blanket all-state wide receiver
Freddy Weygand, with double coverage all night. The shutout was
the third in a row for Escambia County in the playoffs. The game
was the first time Emma Sansom had advanced past the second
round of the playoffs in five previous appearances. |
