MOULTRIE — The Colquitt County football staff certainly did not find some of that statistics from Stephenson’s Class AAAAA playoff victory over Bradwell Institute on Friday particularly encouraging.

Stephenson’s Raymond Sanders carried 11 times for 172 yards and two touchdowns — all in the first half — and Nathan Benford returned the second-half kickoff 96 yards and a touchdown as the Jaguars shut out the Tigers 44-0.

Perhaps even more crucial for the Colquitt County was that the 11-0 Jaguars, who play host to the Packers in a Class AAAAA second-round playoff game next Friday in Stone Mountain, allowed just 108 total yards — including just 28 in the first half — in the win over the Tigers at Hallford Stadium.

Colquitt County advanced to the second round of the playoffs with a 10-0 victory over Westlake High in Atlanta, a win that raised the Packers record to 9-2.

The Packers have not won nine games since 1999 and Colquitt County is heading to a second-round playoff game for first time since 2005 and just the second time since 1999.

The Packers continue their remarkable climb from a 2-8 record in 2007, but their offense looked uncharacteristically vulnerable in the win over Westlake.

Colquitt had 291 yards of offense against the Lions— including runs from scrimmage of 73, 31 and 30 yards — and did not turn the ball over, but still managed just one touchdown.

And that score — a 13-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tyler Brown to Quin Roberson with 2:48 left in the first half — came after the Packers recovered a fumble at the Westlake 15.

Colquitt added a 47-yard field goal by Tyler Dismuke on the last play of the half, but that was it for the Packers.

The third quarter was particularly frustrating.

On its first possession of the second half, Colquitt drove to the Westlake 28, but got no points.

The next time the got the ball, the Packers took over on the Lions 35, but got no points.

Colquitt took over at the Westlake 45 later in the quarter and again came up empty.

The Packers took over on the Westlake 31 after a Derrell Ward interception in the closing seconds of the quarter.

That drive ended when a 33-yard field goal attempt was blocked.
