Decatur-Austin game was a classic

Both sides brought a load of emotion to the football field Friday night when city rivals Decatur High and Austin faced off at Ogle Stadium.

The Red Raiders were motivated to continue what has been a magical season. Some of their players even said they were nervous to keep the momentum going and further prove they are for real this season.

Meanwhile, Austin was a confident and determined team on a mission trying to win a second straight game over the Red Raiders for the first time since 1985.

But there was one thing the rivals had in common: Each side was playing for its seniors.

At the end of the game, 22 Decatur and 21 Austin seniors had plenty of reasons to be proud Friday night, leading the way in an exciting game that Decatur won 10-7 and 12th-year Red Raiders head coach Jere Adcock described as “two heavyweights going at it.”

It was scoreless at halftime before Decatur recorded 10 points in the third quarter, and Austin posted a touchdown in the fourth.

Fourth-year Austin head coach David Norwood said he thought Friday night’s installment of the annual city rivalry did its part to fuel the intensity of the matchup. The rival teams have now split the past two meetings, each by a three-point margin.

Austin won 17-14 in 2006.

With the avenging win, the Red Raiders capped a region championship season with a nine-game win streak still alive.

Decatur (9-1), which has not lost to a Class 5A team all season, will host Gardendale (6-4) in the first round of the state playoffs this week.

“I’m tickled to death for this team because these seniors, at this stage of their career, have 23 wins as a senior class,” Adcock said.

“Any time you averaging over seven wins a year, that’s pretty good, and I hope they’re not done yet.”

Austin (4-6) did not qualify for the playoffs this season, and although the Black Bears’ season ended on Friday night, Norwood gave credit to his seniors for the kind of character they have instilled in the program the past four years.

Anyone inside Austin’s football program knew exactly what Norwood meant Friday night when he told his senior class: “What you’ve done is set the tone for the future of Austin High School. For that, I thank you.”

Speake goes one better: For the Speake Bobcats, last season was a dream. And after making it to the second round of the Class 1A state playoffs and hosting an opening-round contest for the first time since 1977, the Bobcats still haven’t waked up. And that’s a good thing.

Fifth-year head coach Heath Grimes said he thought the consensus was that his team was a one-year success story, but the Bobcats have surprised naysayers this season with an even better year. With Speake’s 40-14 win over Danville on Friday night, the Bobcats’ record is now 9-1, bettering last year’s regular-season record of 8-2.

Speake will host a first-round state playoff game again,
playing Donoho (7-3) on
Friday.

Elkmont is in: For the first time since 1999, Class 3A Elkmont is in the state playoffs.

The Red Devils’ 28-26 win over 2A playoff team Tanner gave Elkmont the third seed out of Region 8.

Elkmont (5-5) will play at Sardis (7-3) in the first round.

The Red Devils’ offensive production of 17.7 points a game has held up this season, scoring 21 points or more five times under first-year Elkmont head coach Don Jacobs, who
is a former Alabama quarterback and Troy offensive coordinator.

Hazlewood still undefeated: Hazlewood’s 61-8 win over Parrish on Friday put an exclamation point on the Golden Bears’ first undefeated regular season since 1996. That year, they finished the regular season 9-0 and advanced to the second round of the 2A state playoffs.

The Golden Bears gave up just 25 points in the regular season that year, while this year’s Hazlewood defense has surrendered an average of just 12 points a game, including four shutouts.

The 1A, Region 8 champion, Hazlewood (10-0), will host Appalachian (5-5) in the first round of the playoffs.

West Morgan’s Coggins cherishes win: Class 2A West Morgan’s impressive 24-6 win at 4A East Limestone on Thursday night was an especially meaningful victory for Rebels head coach Pierre Coggins, who got his coaching start on the late Phil Cavnar’s staff at East Limestone during 1990-93.

Coggins remains a close friend of the Cavnar family.

“I love this place — I really do,” Coggins told players from both teams huddled around him after Thursday night’s game. “I learned a lot about coaching here and I’m for you all to win every week, and I wish you the best of luck in the playoffs.”

The feeling is mutual, evident by an East Limestone player echoing Coggins statement with: “You, too, Coach.”

West Morgan (6-4) will travel to Woodland (7-3) in the first round of the playoffs, while East Limestone (7-3) will play at Tarrant (6-4).

Lancashire official James Adcock is the man in the middle on Saturday as QPR visit the New York Stadium in Rotherham for the first time.

As the half trundled laboriously to its conclusion, Assou-Ekotto neatly summarised the less than inspiring proceedings by foul throwing the ball five-year-old-style six inches from his head and watching it literally plop onto the ground – ground which he surely would have wished would swallow him up if he actually gave a shit.

The rest of the first half was for the most part fairly innocuous sparring. The lesser-spotted Luke Young blocked Rhodes with a last ditch tackle; Simpson earned a yellow for a rash challenge on Conway; Green saved from Rhodes after Gestede flicked on Spurr’s bullet throw; and Morrison had a sumptuous volley well saved by the reliable Robinson after a pull back from Benayoun.

The introduction of Bobby Zamora for a hot-headed Austin, who needlessly got involved with Marc Tierney and picked up a booking, signalled QPR’s intent for the final 20 minutes. This is what Zamora does well, supposedly, holding the play up and slowing the game down by keeping the ball. It was hardly an inspiring cameo though, yet his work-rate couldn’t be questioned.

Referee – James Adcock (South Yorkshire) 5 An early booking to Richard Dunne for some reason meant every other wrongly timed tackle was a booking. QPR picked up six yellow cards during a pretty timid affair.

Adcock has refereed 17 matches this season, but only four of those in the Championship. Ominously, he's yet to send a player off in 2015/16. He's booked 43 in those appointments, but never more than four in a single game – he's done that on four occasions so far.

Last season he showed 116 yellows and nine reds in 37 games. I'm not sure everything was alright at home over Christmas, because eight of those dismissals came in a prolific 12 match run over December and January. That included two sendings off at Wigan v Fulham in the Championship. His last Rotherham game was a 3-1 home defeat by Cardiff in March.

League One >>> Andre Marriner, who dropped out of the Swansea v Sunderland match this week with disastrous consequences, returns at Coventry v Burton this weekend.

League Two >>> Trevor Kettle has Accrington v Portsmouth.
