Take time out for a prayer or 10 for Pike County's Dylan Thomas, who suffered a serious head injury last night against Peach County - the game was ended at that point - and was airlifted to Atlanta's Grady. No official update needed to determine how serious it is. Just pray.

Another look at the programs 1/2
Who ran for 375 yards & 7 TDs? Who ran for 310 in his team's first win over a ranked region team since 2003? Who set receiving records for his program? Who won on the road despite 17 penalties? Who broke a five-game losing streak to the opponent? 1/2
The regular begging here to check MaxPreps rosters? A) Kids should have their names spelled right by their own schools regardless; B) Postseason, kids names thus get misspelled throughout the state, & during state championship week. Kids & parents deserve the 10 seconds it takes.
