B S e ct io n • Th u r s d ay, S e pt . 17, 2 015 FEATURES CRIME SOCIALS OBITUARIES EDITORIAL Regional News News from Bradford County, Union County and the Lake Region FG, interception propel Tornadoes to 23-20 win BY CLIFF SMELLEY Staff Writer STARKE — Zion Barber kicked a 20-yard field goal with 59 seconds remaining, while Carlton Hankerson later came up with an interception at his own 18-yard line to preserve the lead and give Bradford High School a 23-20 win over Class 3A Taylor County on Sept. 11. “I was kind of nervous,” Barber admitted. “I was hoping we were going to score the touchdown, but overall, I was glad they gave me the chance to make the field goal because I had a bit of confidence in myself that I’d make it.” The Tornadoes still had to make a stand against a Taylor passing attack that averaged 15 yards per completion, but Hankerson came up with the defense’s third turnover after a pass interference penalty gave the Bulldogs a first down at the Bradford 38. “It feels amazing,” Hankerson said. “I just want to do it every time. I want to go out there and get the W every week. That’s what we’re trying to strive for— getting better every week.” Bradford (2-1) now prepares for its first District 3-4A game against P.K. Yonge on Friday, Sept. 18, at 7:30 p.m. P.K. Yonge (1-2) is coming off of a 48-0 win over Class 2A Harvest Community after losing by double digits to a pair of Class 1A teams (Williston and Chiefland) in its first two games. “District games are where we want to be playing our best,” Bradford head coach Corey Green said. “Tonight, we played a full game. Hopefully, when we hit this practice field Monday, our kids will have the mindset we’re going to play our best next week.” The Tornadoes scored two touchdowns in the first half on drives of 70 and 58 yards, but the Bulldogs (1-2) matched that, taking advantage of two Zion Barber, with Chance Oody holding, kicks a 20-yard field goal with 59 seconds left to give the Tornadoes a 23-20 lead over Taylor County.

PA announcer pumping the SRO crowd. Hamburgers and hot dogs sizzling on the grill. Purple-and-gold-clad, leatherlunged fans screaming. It all made for a wild experience in the Jungle on a balmy, breezeless Friday night as unbeaten Union County High surged from behind to demolish previously unbeaten Newberry in the unofficial Feline Bowl, 3913. The Tigers continue to build a juggernaut offensively and defensively as they push their worksheet to 3-0 on the young season. Now, with the win over the rival Panthers, coach Ronny Pruitt’s charges enter District 6 action with a tell-tale trip to Hilliard Friday, Sept. 18, to play the Red Flashes at 7:30 p.m. Hilliard is 1-1, winning 26-6 over Fernandina Beach on Sept. 4 after losing their home opener 13-0 to Crescent City. If the Tigers continue to click as they did against the Alachua County visitors, the voyage northeast to Hilliard could prove to be successful in the journey to the Class 1A playoffs. The Tigers have a long road trip next Friday, Sept. 25, for the 7 p.m. game with Melbourne Catholic. “I want to praise our offensive line and our defensive line for your play tonight,” Pruitt told his exhausted squad in post-game accolades. Pruitt also reminded his Tigers how team conditioning helped seal the Newberry win down the stretch on a muggy, humid night, which took its toll on the beat-down Panthers. Once again, the offensive fireworks were sparked by UCHS QB Ty Cook. The Tigers’ spread offense passed and ran Newberry ragged from sideline to sideline and, of course, vertically as well.

Tangalia’s son and her sister, Johnavon Howard and Sharri Bass Banks. Photos: Tate Bass-Howard: a life worth celebrating BY TRACY LEE TATE Telegraph Staff Writer STARKE — A celebration of life and of appreciation was conducted Sept. 12 at Southside Elementary School for retired first grade teacher Tangalia Bass-Howard. Bass-Howard was profiled in the Telegraph in July and at that time was, while not in good health, at least maintaining with oxygen well enough to remain at home in Starke. Recently, her condition has deteriorated and hospitalization has been required with a poor prognosis. Bass-Howard suffers from interstitial lung disease, a condition in which little is known about the cause but whose ultimate solution would be a lung transplant. Her lung problems caused her early retirement from her teaching career one and a half years ago, after 16 years dedication to a career she loved and felt destined to follow. During that interview, BassHoward cited an old saw when asked about recent help she had received with home repairs from the Life Spring Church. “It’s nice when someone gives you flowers while you are still alive,” she had said with a soft smile. Attendees at the recent Celebration of Life were indeed all determined that Tangalia should get all the “flowers” possible in thanks for her devotion to her profession and the children she served. Although she was not able to be present physically for the celebration, Tangalia was privy to the event through the use of cell phones and a computer skyp connection, which allowed her to watch the proceeding and the crowd to see her in her hospital bed as well, projected on a large screen at the front of the Southside cafeteria. After a buffet style meal the See LIFE, 8B Interpretive dancers, mother and daughter team Kenya and Destiny Crum, presented a dance to the music, “Taking Me To the King.” Is God asleep? A small child was having a difficult time being quiet in church. Whispering in his ear, his father said in desperation, “Hush. This is where God lives. Be quiet when you are in His house!” “Why?” asked the child. “Is God asleep?” Certainly not. Our God, the God who created heaven and earth, has promised us in his word that he is always watching over us, day and night. We must never forget that he is “awake,” watching carefully and waiting patiently to guide and guard us. This one, this all-powerful God, who loved us and gave his son to redeem us, is always available to meet our every need. We often forget that God is constantly watching over us and caring for us. More than anyone we know, he is for us. We often trade him in for lesser gods, who cannot be trusted—the gods of money and power, prestige and worldly success. Even though we turn to them often and trust in them frequently, only the God who created us will be faithful to us, strengthen and sustain us and never abandon us. In him we are safe and secure—day and night. Prayer: Lord, we are thankful for your watchful eye, carefully overseeing our lives with compassion. In Jesus’ name, amen. Scripture for today (Psalm 121): He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Great Strides set for Sept. 26 Whether you walk or run, your efforts equate to “great strides” in the fight against cystic fibrosis at the seventh annual BradfordUnion Great Strides event on Saturday, Sept. 26, in Starke. The 3-mile walk—a fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation—will commence at Shands Starke Regional Medical Center at 9 a.m. Registration is on site at 8 a.m. or prior to the event via cff.org. If you’d like to join or start a fundraising team, make a donation or learn more about the event and CF in general, please visit cff.org. Prepare for bow season at Sept. 17 Crosshorn meeting Crosshorn Ministries welcomes back pro Terry Patterson, who will be presenting his experience on all things pertaining to bows, etc., at the group’s Thursday, Sept. 17, meeting at the Starke Golf and Country Club at 7 p.m. Patterson, who will perform a shooting demo, will be available to answer any of your questions. With bow season beginning Saturday, Sept. 19, you don’t want to miss this opportunity. As usual, the club will hold a time of devotion along with its regular drawing for outdoor gear and prizes. Snacks will be provided, but you are welcome to bring more. Admission is free. Y M Y M C K C K Thursday, Sept. 17, 2015 • Telegraph, Times and Monitor B Section 3B . Socials , BHS class of ‘75 to host Oct. reunion BY TRACY LEE TATE Telegraph Staff Writer We are trying out a new feature here at the Telegraph, one that I grew up with many years ago in Kingsport, TN, reading the Kingsport Times News. How it works is simple – have you at one time had a recipe that came from one of our many excellent local cooks, past or present, or an old family recipe, and lost it? With Share-a-Like you can write in and see if any of our other readers may have that recipe and are willing to share it. All you need do is write me a brief letter telling the name of the recipe or what it is a recipe for, and any distinct features of the recipe so people can identify it – this could be an usual ingredient, or where (or who) the recipe came from, etc. Just a short note will do. I will print your request in this column and then, hopefully, someone else who reads it will have the recipe and send it in and I will print that. Requests and recipes can be sent to Tracy Tate, c/o Bradford County Telegraph, P.O. Drawer A, Starke, FL 32091 or dropped off at the Telegraph office. Submissions should include your request or recipe, your name and a phone number where I can call you (your phone number will not be printed in the paper). I will supply the first couple of recipes until we have a chance to get started, but don’t wait – let’s get started sharing our favorite recipes for local favorites! This week’s recipe: Pina Colada Macaroons Yield: about 30 cookies 3 large eggs, separated with yolks discarded ½ C. sugar ½ t. vanilla extract ¼ to ½ t. rum extract (to taste or can be omitted) a dash of salt one 14-oz. bag of sweetened, shredded coconut (or unsweetened, if you prefer) ½ C. pineapple jam (or any other flavor to taste) Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a medium to large baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the egg whites until frothy, then add the sugar, salt and extracts and combine well. Fold in the coconut. Place in covered baking sheet by heaping tablespoonfuls, placed about one inch apart. Neaten up mounds of batter so no coconut strands stick out to burn. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and make an indention in the center of each cookie about half the cookie thickness in depth. Fill the impression with jam. Return the sheet to the oven for 10 minutes or until the macaroons are golden around the edges. Cool on the cookie sheet for at least 15 minutes, then move to cooling racks to finish cooling. (The basic macaroon works with any flavor of jam. Try substituting almond extract for the run extract and using cherry or strawberry jam.) That’s my contribution for this week, now it’s your turn. I’ll look forward to hearing from you!

Dear Editor: I read with interest the article in the Telegraph regarding that fellow identifying himself as Jeff Gray and demanding school bus records while not identifying himself to the School Transportation Department employees. My first question is why would anyone venture onto our school premises and refuse to identify himself, regardless of his purpose unless that purpose is totally nefarious? In this time of wide-open sexual predators roaming our streets, looking for children to prey on, or kooks bringing themselves “fame” by shooting up school campuses, it seems perfectly logical that honest people going onto a school campus would gladly identify themselves. If honest, why not start with the School Superintendent’s office or at least the school principal’s office? Just think what could happen should one of our female bus drivers be caught in the bus barn by an unidentified strange male. Having read about this same person trying to sue the City of Lawtey over traffic citations, it becomes obvious he is only on the school campus seeking to find a lawsuit. Bogus lawsuits usually result in people getting a settlement on which to live. Then they don’t have to work for an honest living. If the public records law allows people to wander freely on our school campuses in such a manner, without identifying themselves, then the law desperately needs to be changed to protect our children. As for Louette Smith making his picture, well people do that all the time these days, usually by cell phone, and some of those pictures come in handy identifying criminals. There should be perfect freedom for school employees to make pictures of strangers wamdering on the school campuses. It most likely will help identify a criminal one day. I’m not calling Mr. Gray a criminal because I’m not sure what his thinking is, but he states he is acting for taxpayers in this type of witch hunt. Rest assured he does not represent this taxpayer, and he most likely does not pay taxes in Bradford County and, if so, who is he trying to protect here? But having served some years ago as a police officer in a major Florida city my experience has been that people who do not want to identify themselves have something to hide. I will be contacting our Senator and Representative, as well as the Governor’s office, seeking a change in any law that allows strangers to wander our school properties and refuse to identify themselves, regardless of purpose. James D. Powell Starke We can always strive to improve Dear Editor: Nobody’s perfect. That seems to be the modern carte blanc for just about everything. If it’s not “nobody’s perfect,” it’s “they did the same thing.” These two all too common sayings have one thing in common; a lack of responsibility - responsibility for actions, thoughts, speech, or attitude. A lack of responsibility for a lack of ethics and compassion. Because nobody’s perfect. Because they did the same thing. We cannot abide attitudes like this any longer. Look what our society has become because of the pervasiveness of it. Congress barely functions because of party politics. We show hatred and disdain and no compassion for two million people fleeing a war in their homeland. We tear each other apart over flags. Over marriages. We curse and refuse every word and lack thereof by our elected commander in chief because of party or race or simple dislike. We spit on the proof of global changes in climate caused by us ourselves. still matter. Because we have We refuse to make concessions homeless people? Why haven’t on that or any topic.

Because they aren’t Tonight as I walked to a town Americans? So what, their lives Keep schools in communities meeting at a local building I watched my son ride his two wheeled razor to his friends house. It occurred to me this was not really possible in a big city. I can trust him to get there and return as it is just a block over from our house. Traffic is not so fast or busy that he cannot navigate it safely. But this is more about that meeting I was walking to. See, I was walking to it. Small town. I saw real democracy in action tonight. People from all walks of life and age groups coming together for the purpose of saving their school. A school that is older than all of us. A real community school that is strongly supported by family and community. This school is Brooker Elementary. I work in another school called Hampton Elementary so my ties are to both. This letter is about why community schools are so important and have real value in our state and country. Many years ago a buzz word in education (we always have new buzz words) was consolidation. If we make larger schools we can have more resources and save that tax payer dollar. One principal. One school site. One of many things. So we ended up with these monolithic monuments to efficiency. But there was one problem. Children are not cars or widgets or some malleable raw material that can be easily manipulated and made into a perfect little identical products. Schools are not big factories and never should have been looked at like that. They are communities with young humans that need to be nurtured and feel safe. Those things foster learning more than some huge building with many hundreds of kids and dozens of teachers where kids are bussed many miles and for up to an hour or more. People move to small towns for many reasons and schools are a major part of it. In the last two years we have seen nearby towns lose their police force, their school and almost their city charter. Progress and time marches on I guess. Now, when I drive through Waldo or on 18 at 301 I am very careful to look both ways even with a green light as semis now can drive through red lights without fear of the law. I watch many cars flying through Waldo now because the police are gone. 301 is basically an interstate highway going through StarkeJournal.com Bradford County and Waldo. that are the sum of the people Funny thing. I drove through there now and all of those Waldo for every work day 20+ that came before. Brooker years and never got a ticket. I Elementary is the heart of that slowed down. But I guess this community. People always progress. show up to support it. The PTO Now there are proposals to makes enough money on fund close Hampton and Brooker raisers they can give the teachers schools. Save money they enough money to fund their say. Get a big shiny new classrooms. I get $200 a year for school with all the whistles and PE. The school can only give me bells. Progress. $50.

Audrey George STARKE—Audrey Virginia Cox George, age 90, of Starke, passed away on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015 surrounded by her loving family. She was born to the late Almon Gurney Cox and Angeline Crane Cox on February 3, 1925. Audrey grew up in Hyannis, MA; loving the beach and she graduated from Barnstable High School in 1942. She worked as a telephone operator during World War II and often told the story of how all the lights lit up on the switch board at the end of the war. She came to Florida at the age of 18 on the train and had to kick her trunk from one train to another because everyone was on strike. She worked as a telephone operator in St. Petersburg. She lived with several nurses and other telephone operators and enjoyed the local beaches. She met and married William Thomas George of St. Petersburg on July 11, 1948 in Hyannis, Massachusetts; and just celebrated 67 years of marriage. As the story goes “Mom was making more than dad at the time and when he could make $50 dollars a week she would stop working and stay home.” That is exactly what happened and Audrey devoted her entire life to being a faithful wife and mother. She supported her husband in his ministry and he credits her as a true example of love, support and contentment with the Lord’s provision. She spent countless hours behind the scenes loving and caring for her family and friends. Family, home and friends were Audrey’s love and joy. She was active in shaping many lives as a Sunbeam teacher and loved the song “Climb up, climb up Sunshine Mountain.” Audrey will be remembered as a wonderful bright and shining sunbeam, which made her world a much brighter place. Audrey was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in her later years and came to Starke in 1966 with her husband to begin a ministry of music at The First Baptist Church and other Baptist churches. She was very active for many years helping with church activities in her younger years through her husband’s ministries. In later years she loved going to the pool for exercise and fellowship with friends. She also was her husband’s tag-along to the RC airplane field for many years. She loved being outdoors and spending time getting to know a perfect stranger, a trait she inherited from her mother. Audrey was a true optimist; she will be remembered for always having a smile and great attitude through every situation. Those that know her well can see her smile and with hands rubbing together out of pure joy for life. She definitely made everyone feel special.

The Buffalo handed Keystone Heights its first loss of the season, 42-7. Keystone travels to Bishop Snyder to take on the 2-1 Cardinals on Jacksonville’s Westside in a non-district match at 7 p.m. Friday. Keystone coach Chuck Dickinson said poor tackling by his defensive squad was the deciding factor in the game against The Villages. Buffalo running backs escaped the grasps of Indian tacklers UCHS Continued from 1B Cook—screen, bubble, slant, fade, post, fly sweep, down and out, buttonhook—a virtual aerial smorgasbord to a talented variety of weapons on the receiving end put UCHS ahead early and, in rapid fashion, brought the Tigers from behind. UCHS never let up on the gas pedal to post the convincing win over the blue-and-gold-clad Panthers, who actually grabbed a short-lived 7-6 first-quarter lead before falling to 2-1 on the season. As if the throwing game of the junior Cook, touted by the Gainesville Sun as “the best rural quarterback in the state,” was not enough, Pruitt went to his bag of tricks and pulled out a razzledazzle, which led to a score and just about sealed the deal for the Tigers and a quickly demoralizing Newberry team. The Panthers captured their throughout the contest. “The first half, it looked like we were trying to tackle the ball instead of making the tackle,” Dickinson said after the game. “It looked like a couple of them were trying to arm tackle,” he added. “We told these guys that they have a couple of backs that are tough runners and you’ve got to lock up.” Dickinson also said his squad appeared to be tackling too high. “We worked a whole month this year on tackling down around the leg area and we didn’t do that tonight.” After The Villages scored on its first possession, Keystone Alex Cruz returns a kick for answered with a 13-play scoring the Indians. Photo: Tonya Gibbs drive of its own, helped by a fake punt. On fourth-and-9 from punter Wyatt Harvin—also the The Villages’ 49, Keystone team’s quarterback—found Rian lined up to punt. However, Prieto downfield for a 14-yard completion and a first down. Six plays later, Harvin connected with Earl Hall for a 20-yard strike. Ray Trimble’s PAT tied the score at 7-7. On the ensuing kickoff, the Indians were flagged for offside. On the second kickoff attempt, the Indians were penalized for kicking interference after a Keystone player caught the short kickoff in the air. “In high school, you can’t catch it in the air unless it is touched by a player (on the receiving team first),” explained Dickinson. “My argument was that when I saw it, it looked like the ball went off his (a Villages player’s) fingertips and our kid caught it. They (the officials) said they didn’t see that, so there is nothing to argue. If they didn’t only lead of the game thanks to a short field resulting from a botched Tigers’ onside kick. A Newberry TD and PAT kick made the score 7-6, Newberry. Union County responded as Cook hit Franklin Williams on the first of Williams’ three TD catches with a 16-yard strike and run. Williams then snared the conversion from Cook to make it 14-7. The home team never trailed after that with 3:48 left in the first half. The game’s most exciting and unusual play came unexpectedly on a Newberry punt from its own end zone. With about two minutes left in the first half on fourth-and-a-country-mile for Newberry, the Tigers’ Williams and Zak Lee were back near midfield in double safety. Williams fielded the punt on the sideline near the Tigers’ bench. Just when it looked like he would be tackled by the swarming Panthers, he rared back and lofted a pass—laterally and legally—to Lee standing all alone on the other side of the field in front of Cook put up some sparkling stats for Union County, going 24-of-34 for 411 yards—a school record—and four TDs, with only one interception. Top receivers included: Isaiah “Bump Bump” Johnson with five grabs for 132 yards, Williams with four for 92 and the three scores, Lee with four for 65, Emmanuel Sykes five for 56 and Matthew Jobin three catches for 50 yards. Darion Alexander with nine rushes for 37 yards and Darian Robinson with three runs for 20 yards led the Tigers’ ground attack. Defensively, it was a night of pad-popping, gang tackling for the Tigers. Stat-wise, senior Joseph Merriex registered six tackles, two assists and a caused fumble. Junior Nate Griffis added three tackles and four assists. Junior Andre Hampton totaled eight tackles and two assists, and junior Dawson Tyler had two tackles and four assists. the Newberry bench. Lee, with Panthers in shocked pursuit, hightailed it down the sideline to the Newberry 8-yard line. Cook quickly hit Williams on the next play for an 8-yard TD pass, and the Panthers, now trailing 20-7, could not summon the strength or the will against a dominant Tiger team. The Tigers added 19 points in the second half on another TD pass, this one a 26-yarder, from Cook to the lanky Williams. Former QB Casey Driggers showed he is recovered after missing two games due to an ankle injury. Driggers made some nifty grabs from the wideout spot, including a 19-yard TD from Cook. Cook topped off the scoring for the Tigers with a 19-yard scamper through the middle to make in 38-6. Kyle Davis split the uprights for the final tally for the Tigers. Newberry added a meaningless score on a 2-yard run just before the final whistle to make it 39-13. see it, they didn’t see it.” Buffalo’s third score appeared to The two penalties gave the demoralize his squad.

Retired Southside Elementary School Principal, Mary Agnes Goldwire, said that she had been the person who hired BassHoward and her best memory of her was “that she touched and made a difference in all of the lives she touched, from co-workers, to parents, to the children themselves.” She went on to say, “Tangalia was always smiling and she was an example of what a good teacher should be. “She impacted every person she came into contact with and showed her faith and love for people,” Goldwire said. “What child would not want to come to school when they were greeted everyday with such love.” Tributes were offered in song, in interpretative dance (by Kenya and Destiny Crum and Jimmy “Solchyld” Hankerson) and in bittersweet reflections on a woman who was loved by all and became like family to her co-workers and friends. Evangelist Gladys Ellis offered a message to the crowd, saying that is was best “to celebrate her life while she was still living. People like to hear what you feel about them while they are still alive to hear it.” Ellis then offered an emotional rendition of a song of love that brought tears to many in the crowd of more than 270. Through the course of the program the feelings of respect, love and fear for the future of one much loved became a palpable physical force in the room that was shared by all. All the attendees became joined by the faith and love that radiated from everyone there. Tears were shared, as were smiles at humorous remembrances of the life of a woman of faith. Bass-Howard’s son, Johnavon Howard, spoke about his mother, surrounded by her sisters (Sharri Bass Banks, Carmen Hernandez and Natalya Cruger) and brother (Chris Thomas), offering the comfort and support of family. Also in attendance were her best friends, Idella Chandler, Rasheeta Chandler-Coley and Rosalyn Currington. Howard appeared to be in good spirits and to enjoy the tribute she was given, although she was modest about her life and work. She said she regretted that her health had not allowed her to attend the event. She is being cared for at Shands UF in Gainesville. Celebration organizers wish to thank everyone who worked with them to help make the event a success, including DJ Oliver Crum, photographer Daphne Robinson, the Steakhouse in Starke, the Downtown Grill, the Bradford County School Board, CJ Designs, Joe Gordon and friends who traveled from all over the country to show their love for their friend.

Bradford opened the game with a 10-play, 70-yard drive that featured running back Xavien Jenkins doing the bulk of the work. Jenkins had 43 of the 70 yards on six carries, with an 11yard run touchdown run capping the drive at the 7:38 mark of the first quarter. Barber missed the PAT, but was able to convert on his next two attempts before kicking the winning field goal. Bradford was on the march again on its second possession, with Shawn Aaron completing a 26-yard pass to Chance Oody. The Tornadoes would fumble, however, with the Bulldogs recovering at the Bradford 45yard line. The defense made several tackles for losses. After Taylor picked up a first down at the 33, Oody dropped running back Dacorian Bellamy for a 4-yard loss. Elijah Brown, Johnny Hernandez and Jamarian McNeal then all combined to pressure quarterback Rayshawn Hamilton, who was eventually sacked for an 8-yard loss. Hamilton, however, threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Chris Reaves on third-and-20 as the Bulldogs tied the score at 6-all approximately one minute into the second quarter. Bradford answered on its next possession. Three personalfoul penalties on Taylor helped the Tornadoes’ cause, with one penalty helping Bradford overcome a third-and-33 play. Running back Aundre Carter, returning from an injury that prevented him playing the previous week, scored on a 3-yard run to cap the 58-yard drive. Barber’s PAT put Bradford up 13-6 with 5:23 remaining in the half. Jameaze McNeal had an interception at his own 15-yard line to end a Taylor scoring threat, but the Bulldogs got the ball in good field position Telegraph, Times and Monitor B Section • Thursday, Sept. 17, 2015 when they recovered a fumble at the Bradford 40. Hamilton promptly threw a 30-yard pass to Ken Smith for first-and-goal at the 10. Nathan Kallschmidt capped the drive with a 3-yard touchdown run. The pass play on the two-point conversion was unsuccessful, with Bradford’s Aaron making a tackle and preserving a one-point lead with 19 seconds before halftime. Taylor drove from its own 25 to the Bradford 9 to open the second half, but a holding penalty hurt the Bulldogs, who eventually turned the ball over on downs. A punt by Barber had the Bulldogs starting their next drive at their own 29. Two plays later, they had the lead, with Kyrese Jones catching a 46-yard pass before Willie Elder found the end zone on a 25-yard run. Smith had a successful reception on the two-point conversion to make the score 20-13 in favor of Taylor. It was a quick answer by Bradford, which drove 55 yards on five plays—all runs by Carter. Carter, who led Bradford’s rushing attack with 68 yards on 16 carries, scored on a 2-yard run with 3:56 remaining in the third quarter. Barber’s PAT tied the score at 20-all. The Bulldogs drove inside the Bradford 30 on their next possession, but eventually turned the ball over on downs on an incomplete pass that had both Aaron and Marquis Hendrieth in coverage. Taylor later drove past midfield again, but a shotgun snap that sailed over Hamilton’s head was recovered by Bradford’s Vince Brown at the Taylor 33-yard line with 3:40 to play. A 15-yard run by Jenkins (59 yards on 16 carries overall) converted a third down and gave the Tornadoes the ball at the 11-yard line. Two runs by Aaron (65 yards on 16 carries) moved Bradford to the 3, setting the stage for Barber’s field goal. The game was not over, however, until Hankerson’s interception. “We’ve been preaching to them all week about playing a full ball game,” Green said. “We were able to do that tonight, and it went down to the very last second.” Bradford finished with 282 yards, with most of that coming on the ground (223 yards on 56 attempts). Aaron was 3-of-3 passing for 59 yards. Hankerson and Oody accounted for most of those yards with 23 and 26 yards, respectively, on one reception each.

Jacob Polk also had close to 70 rushing yards as well as one reception for 20 yards. Jace Oody had a fumble recovery for the Bradford defense. Bradford head coach Joe Van Vactor said, “The defense, as a unit, was all over the place,” and also singled out the efforts of Brian Foster and Malik Hankerson.
