Johnson Central 43 Wayne County 24

First let me say, I hate that drive to Monticello.

Great game last night by the Golden Eagles and Coach Matney on the road in a amped environment. Every time Wayne started to gather some momentum, JC converted on a big play.

The 4th down pass right before halftime to give JC the 22-3 lead was huge. Wayne was able to answer with its first drive of the 2nd half and recapture the momentum.

After holding JC on its initial drive if the 2nd half, Devin Johnson made one of those plays that make you say wow when he picked off the tipped pass and take it 60 yds to the house to stop Wayne’s momentum.

Finally the muffed punt by Wayne was a killer. JC leader Gamble, who never takes a play off in the game, was able to convert on the Cardinals mistake and recover the fumble.

Wayne had a great team and a great season. There team and fans were a class act last night in a tough situation. Good luck to them next season.

Hopefully JC is able to finish next week they way this team deserves. Should be a dandy.
