The clock was not reset, but Dismuke appeared unfazed by stoppage of play and calmly nailed his first varsity field goal as the horn sounded to give the Packers a 3-0 lead.

Thomasville had two golden scoring opportunities in each half.

But as they had in the previous week’s 13-7 loss to Thomas County Central in which they suffered three fumbles and an interception, the Bulldogs turned the ball over at inopportune times.

In the second quarter, a 16-play drive went for naught when quarterback Charles Hayes fumbled on a first-and-10 at the Packers 10.

Colquitt County linebacker Justin Jones recovered at the 20.

The second turnover was even more costly. Thomasville drove from its 35 to the Packers 14 in the fourth quarter, eating up more than four minutes, only to fumble again at the Colquitt County 13.

Jarrett Sutton fell on the ball for the Packers.

“I have never seen anything like I’ve seen the last three games that we played in my life,” Thomasville coach Richie Marsh told The Thomasville Times-Enterprise. “And I’ve been around it for 18 years brother.”

Colquitt County rolled up 303 yards of offense, including 286 coming on Harrison completions.

The senior quarterback hit on 20-of-42 passes, including a 20-yard strike to Quin Roberson for the Packers only touchdown with 55 seconds left in the third quarter to put his team up 10-0.

Once again, Harrison spread the ball around, with nine Packers making receptions.

Roberson had five for 82 yards, Travon Littleton had five for 52 yards and Eric Key had four for 81 yards. Roberson had catches of 11 and 13 yards on the touchdown drive and came up with a dandy of a grab of a Harrison pass on a first-and-10 from the Thomasville 1 with 7:09 left in the game.

Although the Packers punted four plays later, the pitch-and-catch enable Colquitt County to escape a possible field position disaster.

PACKERS NOTES: In the first two games of his senior season, Harrison has completed 40-of-73 passes for 483 yards and seven touchdowns and no interceptions.

Last year in 10 games, he completed 48-of-136 passes for 577 yards and one touchdown with six interceptions.
