Central offensive linemen grab spotlight in scrimmage
THOMASVILLE — A ray of sunshine cut through the drizzle at Thomas County Stadium Friday night.
Thomas County Central’s offensive line, a unit short on experience, got off to a brilliant start in a rainy scrimmage against Jonesboro. The Yellow Jackets’ blockers spearheaded a 7-play, 95-yard touchdown drive on their first possession, paving the way for a 28-6 win.
In one quarter of junior varsity action, Central prevailed 14-0.
“I’m real proud of the linemen,” Yellow Jackets head coach Bill Shaver said. “I think their performance might give them some confidence as we move forward.”
Central, set to open the season on Aug. 25 at Thomasville, scored on its first three possessions and piled up 500 total yards before surrendering the field to the junior varsity at the end of the third period. The Yellow Jackets rushed for 489 yards on 38 attempts.
“Jonesboro has a good team,” Shaver said. “They went 9-2 last year. I think one thing that helped us is that they aren’t used to seeing our kind of (veer) offense.”
Caleb Autrey, Moses Jones, Reggie Mobley, Hunter Parmer, Conner Gibbs and Sam Long opened a lot of gaping holes.
“It’s going to get harder when we face teams that are more familiar with what we do,” Shaver warned.
