Blountstown rallies past Chipley Tigers’ rival clinches District 3-1A title By BRAD MILNER
747-5065 | @PCNHBradMilner bmilner@pcnh.com CHIPLEY — Blountstown’s biggest challenge in weeks couldn’t keep the Tigers from securing a district championship Friday. Chipley didn’t make it easy, however. Blountstown rallied with two fourth-quarter touchdowns to edge homestanding Chipley 14-13. Blountstown locked up the District 3-1A championship with the win, coupled with a South Walton victory over Holmes County also Friday. Chipley has a chore to advance to the postseason after falling to 0-2 in the district with two games to play against Bozeman and Holmes County. “We talked about holding our destiny in our own hands,” Blountstown coach Greg Jordan said. “Our kids kept fighting and they have a good football team. This was a battle.” It took a 69-yard passing score from Hunter Jordan to Corin Peterson midway through the fourth quarter to provide PHOTOS BY HEATHER LEIPHART | The News Herald Blountstown’s first lead of the Hunter Jordan had a rushing score and the gamegame. Andrew Bennett’s extra point winning passing touchdown. capped the scoring.
Jordan cut the deficit to 13-7 with a 1-yard plunge to cap an 80yard drive two minutes earlier. Blountstown had 232 yards of offense in the second half after being held to 72 in the opening 24 minutes. Blountstown’s championship-caliber defense did the rest. Chipley had only 3 yards on four drives in the second half. Chipley running back Kobe McCrary was limited to 35 yards on 13 carries. “They were getting their hands on up front and we couldn’t get into a rhythm,” Chipley coach Chip Harris said. “We missed some opportunities in the first half but our kids played with every ounce of energy they had left.” Top-ranked Blountstown overcame three turnovers, including two inside the 10-yard line, in remaining unbeaten at 8-0 overall and 3-0 in the district. The third turnover, returned 95 yards for a touchdown by Adrian Sims, seemed like a backbreaker with 2:09 to play in the third. However, Blountstown quelled the momentum by stopping a directsnapped 2-point conversion run to keep the deficit at 13-0. Harris said he felt the play was at a good time with Blountstown on its heels. He also said Sims was tired after the jaunt with the freshman also kicking extra points. “We ran that play a gazillion times and it worked,” he said. “If I had it to do over again I would.” Chipley (4-3, 0-2) had the first half ’s best drive late in the second
quarter. A 14-yard hook-and-ladder and a 17-yard connection between Jordan Finch and Zack Campbell set Chipley at the 11. McCrary ran the rest with two broken tackles for the only score in the first half. Blountstown answered with a long kickoff return and five plays to advance to Chipley’s 14 with 20 seconds to play in the half. Dylan Lee’s pass was intercepted by Carlon Smith in the end zone for Blountstown’s second turnover. Blountstown was held to 72 total yards, including 30 on the ground, in the first half. Jordan had one completion and an interception on six attempts. He finished with 98 yards and two interceptions on four completions. Chipley didn’t churn the field either with 102 total yards, 71 of those coming on the scoring drive. Finch and Darren Stewart combined to go 3 of 9 for 24 yards in the first half. Finch finished 3 of 14. Javakiel Brigham grinded out a team-high 53 yards rushing for Blountstown, which controlled the clock and the game in the second half. “We know we’ll win championships with defense,” coach Jordan said. “This was big because if they had won I’m sure we would have been in a three-way tiebreaker after Week 11.” Instead, Blountstown has a chance to finish the district slate unbeaten with a game at Holmes County next week. Chipley is at Bozeman with each clinging to slim playoff hopes.
