Game MVP:
Records: Homewood (13-2); Blount (11-2)
Coaches: Bob Newton, Homewood and Ben Harris, Blount
Game: Played Friday December 8, 1995 at Waldrop Stadium, Homewood
 
Summary:
         Kelvin Robinson had a third and nine pass, from his own 10 yard line, slip from his hands and into the waiting arms of Homewood's defensive back Jerry Maness at the Blount 14 yard line with only 3:59 remaining in the game. Maness returned the interception to the 4 yard line to set up Fabian Crenshaw's hurdle into the end zone two plays later for the winning score.
         It was a cold, rainy and windy night for football and the turnovers proved to be the difference in the game. Blount had one last chance to salvage a state title as the leopards took the ball and drove to the Patriot's 40 with time running out, but Robinson's fourth and three pass was intercepted by John Stewart Jackson with 1:09 remaining in the game.
         Homewood finished the year 13-2 and wins a championship in Coach Bob Newton's first season as head coach.
