MOULTRIE — Brooks County took the opening kickoff and marched 56 yards to a touchdown and then never let up, surprising Tift County 35-7 on Friday at Brodie Field.

The Trojans rolled up 246 yards on the ground against the Blue Devils, who were coming off a season-opening victory over Roswell.

Quarterback Jeremy Cody rushed for 111 yards on 19 carries and Keith Christopher had 84 more for the Trojans, who are now 2-0 under Coach Maurice Freeman, who returned to Quitman this year.

Brooks County also defeated Colquitt County 22-12 in its scrimmage.

Quarterback Malcom Dixon completed 6-of-22 passes for 93 yards and Stevan Toomer had three receptions for 55 yards for the Blue Devils.

The 1-1 Blue Devils will play their final non-Region 1-AAAAA game next Friday at home against Cook.

Region 1-AAAAA teams won all eight of their games in the first week of the season, but Tift County was not the only region team to fall this weekend.

Warner Robins, playing with a heavy heart, was shut out by Grayson 30-0.

Less than 12 hours after Coach Bryan Way attended the funeral of his younger brother Joey, who died Sept. 3 of cancer, the Demons managed just 92 yards on the ground, including 30 on one run by P.J. Cunningham.

Warner Robins quarterback W.J. McAllister completed 9-of-17 passes for 70 yards, but could not lead the Demons into the end zone.

Grayson, now 2-0 and ranked No. 10 in Class AAAAA, rolled up 283 yards on the ground.

Warner Robins, now 1-1, will entertain Beach next Saturday at McConnell-Talbert Stadium.

The Bears, under new coach Greg Robinson have shut out Groves and Fayette County by a combined 72-0.

Fayette County was 11-1 last season, but has just one returning starter.
