3 STARS

Jalen Addie, Warner Robins senior quarterback: Addie had a pair of touchdown passes and a short touchdown run to help lead Warner Robins to a 35-28 win over Blessed Trinity. Addie’s ability to remain cool under pressure on the final drive also set up the game-winning score.

Warner Robins defense: Blessed Trinity came into the game with a five-game streak of scoring 44 or more points. The Demons held the high-powered offense in check for most of the game and clinched the berth in the semifinals with a game-ending sack.

Jones County: The Greyhounds opened the season at 0-3 but since a 30-6 loss to Veterans on Sept. 18, Jones County has gone undefeated and reached the state semifinals for the second season in a row. The Greyhounds are one of the hottest teams in the state and will have a chance to reach the title game with a win over Warner Robins on the road.
