Summary:
Senior Brian Dunn booted
a 17-yard field goal on the eighth play of overtime to give the
Emma Sansom Rebels a 10-7 win over Greenville in the Class 5A
state championship game. The Rebels dominated the game from the
onset but struggled to find the end zone.
Sansom rolled up 139
yards rushing in the first half and held Greenville to one first
down and 15 yards total yards. The Rebels scored a first quarter
touchdown and missed out when they stalled at the Greenville
two-yard line just before intermission. The halftime score was
only 7-0 in favor of the Rebels.
The Rebel's defense was
outstanding all evening, holding Greenville to 4 first downs and
95 total yards. Gene Jelks rushed for 127 yards on 27 carries in
his last high school game. Tim Merriweather added 61 yards on 15
carries and Andy Watts finished with 45 yards on 10 attempts.
Sansom tried to give the
game away in the second half by losing three fumbles and
throwing an interception. The first fumble set up Greenville's
only score. Marvin Patterson rumbled 28 yards to tie the game
with 6:57 left in the third.
