Littleton, defense impress in scrimmage



MOULTRIE — Although the defense continued to shine early in Colquitt County’s Saturday morning scrimmage at Tom White Field at Mack Tharpe Stadium, the offense is showing some signs of beginning to ease into its new system.

The front seven on defense in the first group played well again in the second of the three scheduled scrimmages at the stadium.

Ends Cameron Erving and Tyrell Wright and tackle Robert Fuller performed well.

“I was impressed with our defense,” Coach Rush Propst said.

Propst said he is still seeking a corner to take over the position opposite C.J. Copeland and he is looking for some depth behind starting safeties Jeremy Downs and Corzell Ellerson.

But despite some stellar defensive play, running back Travon Littleton ripped off several outstanding runs.

“Travon ran the ball better and the offensive line blocked better,” Propst said.

And it was an offensive line that had a little different look from the one that played the Saturday before.

Former starting center Garrett Brewer moved to left tackle and left guard Weston Gittens moved to center.

Left tackle Chris Walsh moved into play left guard.

The right side of line, with guard R.J. Taylor and tackle Trey Rhymes, remained intact.

Rising senior John Michael Harrison, the returning starting quarterback, took the snaps with first offense.

Quin Roberson, who took most of the first-team snaps last week, played wide receiver, giving the Packers more depth and speed at that position.

Both Propst and quarterbacks Coach Robert Craft said Harrison appears to be getting more comfortable with the new offense.

“John Michael had a great week, a great Tuesday and a better Thursday,” said Craft. “He just has to build his confidence by getting better and learning the system.”
