I went down to your game against Morrow. They had Jeff Howard at QB who ended up backing up Sean Jones at GT and that bruiser FB Ray Doran. We took Morrow lightly. They had lost to McIntosh earlier in the season and we thought we would ease by them to the semis. Derek Anderson and myself were coin flip captains that game and I will never forget going out to mid field for the flip. Jeff Howard was a captain for a Morrow and was wearing a long john undershirt cut by scissors at the elbow. The other dude was a ginger stocky guy who played DE. I was thinking "man, we are about to roll these rednecks up."
It was 28-0 before we knew what hit us! We had 12 yards rushing the first half and scored with a few seconds on a pass to make it 28-7 at the half. They shut us down so good that at halftime Coach Dorsey moved me from OG to center because all we did was shotgun the whole 2nd half and I was the punt/FG snapper. Ended up losing 49-21 but threw for 250 in the second half by putting our 6' 5" baseball ace, Chris Butler, at QB. Had we started out that way we might have had a fighting chance. I also went and watched them play SW Dekalb in the semis. That was a great game I think they won 14-10 or something like that.
That 91 Lagrange team was very good but Rodney Hudson was why they won a State title. He was a hell of a playmaker and beat us on a broken play in double OT. Had them beat on penetration and they had the ball 3rd and 15 at mid field with 1:15 on the clock. One stop. Joker rolls left and all his receivers were also left. Our stud LB Carlos Bagley(Duke) came from his backside and looked like he was about to decapitate Hudson when he stopped on a dime and ducked under Carlos' sack attempt that would have put them at 4th and 23. Reversed field and ran right by me on our sideline and was never touched. Our entire DB field was in coverage on the far side of the field.

I was waaay wrong with my statement about losing to Lagrange... We never played Lagrange, it was Griffin and it was 1990.
