Wayne County ran 77 plays to Central’s 32, wearing down the Yellowjackets and scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter to overcome their hosts 17-7 Friday night. The Cardinals improved to 13-0 while Central’s season ended at 9-4.
“It was a great win,” said Wayne County head coach Shawn Thompson. “Our kids fought hard and we prepared hard all week. We came here believing we were going to win the game.”
The game certainly started that way for the Cardinals. On the second play from scrimmage Central’s Phillip Francis fumbled on his own 16-yard-line and Wayne County’s Jason Perkins recovered. Five plays later Wayne County cashed in with a 22-yard Junior Ruiz field goal for a quick 3-0 lead.
On the next Central offensive play, quarterback Myron Norfleet threw an interception on a deep throw, giving Wayne County possession at their own 24. But the Central defense stiffened, and the Yellowjackets benefitted from a 2-yard punt to take over at the Wayne County 23.
Darren Powell’s second consecutive 10-yard run was a touchdown for Central, giving them a 7-3 lead with 5:48 remaining in the first quarter.
The rest of the half was a defensive struggle for both teams, with Central not moving the ball at all and Wayne County not moving it enough to get into scoring position until Ruiz lined up for a second field goal attempt from 32 yards out with 30 seconds left in the half. His kick sailed wide left, but Norfleet was intercepted again on the next play, and Wayne County had one more chance at the end of the half. But again, Central stopped them in their tracks, and despite being outgained 138 yards to 15 in the first half, the Yellowjackets went to the locker room with a four-point lead.
“We were thanking our defense for playing them so tough,” said Thompson. “I knew our offense could eventually get going. Our kids stepped up and made some huge plays.”
It took a while, though. Central kept giving up first downs, but no points, and headed into the fourth quarter with that 7-3 lead intact.
But something had to give. And that something was the Central defense. Wayne County quarterback Tyler Guffie got it rolling with his arm and his legs, finally breaking through with a 29-yard touchdown pass to Alan Brown with 10:21 left in the game.
Central had no answer on their next possession, and Wayne County added an insurance touchdown with a one-yard touchdown run by Guffie for the final margin.
Central had been 30-1 in the playoffs since 2007, but they simply could not sustain any kind of offense whatsoever after their early touchdown.
As the Yellowjackets walked off their own field, the large contingent of fans from Wayne County celebrated a rare accomplishment. Was the long bus ride worth it?
“You can look around and see for yourself,” said Thompson. “This was a big win for our program and a big win for our community.”

I think it awesome. I sit back and read a lot of the posts and see how people had never really given them a chance. Going by S.O.S, the teams they had played or some other excuse they can come up with. They don't know before the season starts on who's going to win or loose. It doesn't take away from a good team. They're a sneaker team. Nobody had given them a chance or took them seriously. And they cam and bit some in the ass. Plus, isn't this one of the first yrs that they hadn't had to play ironman football. GO CARDS

Oh! I'm sorry Mrs. Thang. I had forgotten the {E} at the end of cam. I should have doubled checked my work before I posted it on here. Wasn't sure We had a female teacher / comedian. But, I'm glad you are here to help us out on our post. Because if it weren't for you. Nobody here would know that I ment to say was. "I love it when a team comes and bites you in your ass." Thanks again sweetness!!

I'm interested to hear about these too. Lol.
Not sure who it was that mentioned that but we have been fortunate to have great kids and a great staff and good year. I think they have mistaken us for somebody else.

Well, I have been keeping up with this team for the past few years. Doing very well. A team and town that is proud. I wasn't talking about just that game. I seen, heard or whatever the case may be. But let me assure you that there were a few that didn't give them much of a chance. For whatever the reason. If I had more time. I could tell you specific posts, comments, times and all. So I am serious !!!
