Nobody told Cottondale that they weren’t supposed to put up such a fight against the county’s largest school. If they did, the Hornets paid no attention as Cottondale gave Marianna all they wanted and then some last Thursday night. It took a two yard touchdown run by Hakeem Holmes with :27 seconds to play for Marianna to escape with a 26-22 victory over the Hornets.
The game had been moved to a Thursday night so football fans from the other county schools could come to watch. Those fans as well as the Bulldog and Hornets fans certainly got their money’s worth. The Bulldogs took the early lead when Chris Bowers scored on a 20 yard run on the Marianna’s opening drive. The extra point attempt was blocked, giving the Bulldogs a 6-0 lead. The Bulldog defense then did their job in forcing a Hornet punt on Cottondale’s opening possession. Other than the blocked extra point Marianna’s game plan was going well in the early going. But the Bulldog offense began to sputter, fumbling twice and punting once in their next three possessions. Cottondale wasn’t any better though as they had to punt on their first two possessions and then gave it up on downs on their third possession. Late in the first half Marianna made it a 12-0 game when Holmes scored his first TD of the night on a 4 yard run. That lead held at the half.
The third quarter was a shoot out as Cottondale came out smoking. They quickly marched down the field on the opening possession of the second half and got on the scoreboard with an 11 yard run by Shondre McAroy. Dominique Webb added a two point conversion and just like that Cottondale trailed 12-8. Marianna responded though with a touchdown on their second possession of the half with a 14 yard run by Tre Jackson. That touchdown was set up when Bulldog safety Clayte Rooks picked off a Hornet pass and returned it to the Cottondale 14 yard line. With Marianna leading 18-8 the Hornets went back to work. They put together an impressive 8 play drive that went 60 yards. CJ Smith capped with off with a 10 yard run for a score and then hit Webb on a pass play for the two point conversions. The Bulldog lead had dwindled to 18-16 as the third quarter came to a close.
Both offenses appeared to have run out of bullets for much of the fourth quarter. But late in the game Cottondale found a few slugs. The Hornet defense stopped Marianna on downs at the Cottondale 9 yard with just under three minutes to play. Smith hooked up with Webb for a 30 yard pass play and then Smith launched a high pass down the field to Jacquez Walker. Two Bulldog defenders went for the ball and missed. Walker hauled in the pass and went the distance for a 61 yard scoring strike with just over two minutes to play. Cottondale took a 22-18 lead as Hornet fans and players were ecstatic.
But Marianna took possession at their own 42 yard line and Bowers went to work, picking up 23 yards and then 9 yards. Jackson then had back to back runs for first downs and moved the ball to the Hornet two yard line with under :30 seconds to play. Holmes then took it in for what proved to be the game winning TD.
Marianna racked up almost 400 yards on offense and were led by Jackson with 143 yards on 11 carries. Bowers added 69 yards and Holmes had 51 on the ground. Cottondale countered with 348 yards of offense, led by Webb with 93 yards and Evan Davis with 76 yards. Smith was 10-24 in the passing game for 178 yards.

2010 Profile: Head Coach Mike Melvin enters his 13th season as the Head Coach of the Hornets, and as so is the reigning elder statesman for the county’s varsity football Head Coaches. Like all schools the Hornets graduated some fine talent. But they have a good core group of players that return with plenty of experience, including six starters on offense and eight on defense. Dominique Webb has led the team in rushing the past two seasons and he will no doubt be one of the go to players for this year’s team. CJ Smith returns at the QB position and Evan Davis returns as a running back. Newcomer Shondre McAroy is young but shows a lot of promise. Cody Saye will anchor the end of the offensive line at tight end. That offensive line is a veteran group with returners Chris Krauser and Ronnie Dixon joining Saye to lead the way. As usual most of those same key players will be counted on to lead the defense as well.
2010 District: Their district (District 1 Class 1B) has been dominated in previous years by FAMU and Graceville. That changed last year with a couple of new teams in the District. Jefferson County captured the District Title and FAMU was the runner up. The Hornets once again have their work cut out to earn one of the two playoffs spots in this tough district. They’ll need to get wins over Graceville and Rocky Bayou and then hope to upset FAMU or Jefferson County.
2010 Schedule: The Hornets have a tough schedule that features an especially challenging three game road stretch. But they first open up with the Bulldogs of Marianna at home this Thursday night. The game was moved to Thursday night to facilitate the rest of the county being able to come and watch the game. They’ll have home games that follow with Franklin and Maclay before their treacherous road trip begins. In three straight weeks the Hornets travel to FAMU, Chipley and Jefferson County. They finally come home to host Rocky Bayou and John Paul Catholic. Next up is their annual grudge match at home with Graceville and then they close out the season against another batch of Bulldogs, this one against Liberty County.
2009: Finished the season with a 1-8 record. A flu bug hit the Hornets early in the season and they never seemed to recover.
Assistant Coaches: Chris O’Bert, Don Holland, Clay Dilmore, Greg Ohler, Phillip Jones and Steve Harp.

2010 Profile: Head Coach Todd Wertenberger enters his fifth season as Head Coach for the Tigers. The Tigers graduated several big time players last year and are going to be very young at many positions. Two offensive starters return and six return on defense. They’ll look to Jeremy Watford, Derae Laster, Conor Renihan to tote the mail much of the time. Jacky Miles will be the signal caller and lineman Leander Ford, Keon Woulard will anchor the Tigers in the trenches.
2010 District: : District District 1 Class 1B added two new teams and dropped two teams last season. The end result was much the same however as once again the FAMU Baby Rattlers were one of the teams to beat. But newcomer Jefferson County took the district title and FAMU finished second. Graceville had been a main stay in the playoffs up until last season and no doubt their district goal this year will be to somehow someway make it back into the playoffs. But to do so they will likely have to knock off either FAMU or Jefferson County.
2010 Schedule: The Tigers open up with two tough opponents. They host the Chiefs of Northview and then travel to Marianna to take on the Bulldogs. After an open date they’ll travel to Franklin County and Blountstown. The Tigers begin district play in October and the good news is that they will host their two toughest district contests. On October 8th they host FAMU and on the 29th they host Jefferson County. Sandwiched in between is a home game with Liberty County. Afterwards the Tigers then have a road game at Rocky Bayou followed by another road game, this one with big rival Cottondale. They close out the season with a home game against another big rival as Chipley comes to town.
2009: Finished the regular season with a 3-7 record. It was the first season since 2004 that the Tigers failed to make the FHSAA playoffs.
Assistant Coaches: Jeff Renihan, Bryant Hardy, Travis Miller, Roger Sasser, Bob Larson, Thomas Register, Butch Burrell and Phillip Hynes.

Former Chipola Player Is Major League Home Run Leader
Former Chipola baseball player Jose Bautista is still Major League Baseball’s homerun leader with 40 as of Aug. 23.
Bautista, a right-fielder for the Toronto Blue Jays, smacked two homeruns in the Jays 3-2 win over the Yankees on Aug. 23. The two gave him a Major League-leading 40 home runs on the season and accounted for all of the offense for the Blue Jays (65-59).
Bautista belted 44 home runs combined over his past three big league campaigns. With 38 games remaining on the schedule for the Blue Jays, Bautista sits seven home runs shy of George Bell’s single-season club record of 47 bombs in 1987. The right fielder is the first player to achieve 40 homers in a season for the Jays since Carlos Delgado launched 42 in ‘03.
Bautista was a member of the Chipola Baseball squad before being drafted by the Pittsburg Pirates in the 20th round of the 2000 amateur draft. His official signing came in May 2001, the same year the Indians captured the Panhandle Conference Championship and was the NJCAA Region VIII Runner-up.
During his time in the majors, the 29 year-old has also played for the Pirates, the Orioles and the Royals.

Marianna hung with Mosley early on but a costly turnover (fumble) by Marianna late in the first quarter was quickly followed by a long touchdown pass by the Dolphins. From there Mosley seized momentum for the remainder of the half. In the second half Marianna was able to string together some offense and post 21 points on the board.

Marianna at Cottondale 7pm – This game will be played on Thursday night so that the rest of Jackson County can come out to catch this county matchup. Both squads have some talented ball carriers as Marianna will be led by Tre Jackson and Cottondale will be led by Dominique Webb. Both teams dress about the same number of players – Marianna 26 & Cottondale 28. Cottondale scored 28 points in their preseason contest while Marianna scored 21. These two teams are fairly evenly matched and any time you get two Jackson County teams together it is going to be intense.

Blountstown at Sneads 7 pm
The Pirates looked good in their preseason outing against one brand of Tigers (Graceville.) They’ll open up the season at home with another brand of Tigers (Blountstown) coming to town. Xavier Eutsay had a big night against Graceville (166 yards 7 3 TDs). If he can have that kind of night against Blountstown the Pirates have a great shot at a season opening win.
Northview at Graceville 7 pm –
Graceville coach Todd Wertenberger knows this year’s Tigers are not big enough to pound away at their opponents. But he seems to have come up with a good passing attack as QB Jacky Miles threw for over 180 yards and 3 TDs in the preseason game against Sneads. They’ll need every bit of that and probably more as they will host a Chief’s program that has been very solid in the years past.

They’ll need every bit of that and probably more as they will host a Chief’s program that has been very solid in the years past.

2010 Sneads Pirates Preview
2010 Profile: Head Coach Don Dowling enters his third season at the helm of the Pirate ship. This year’s Pirate squad has their work cut out for them as they must replace the offensive workhorses from last year’s team. Mark Lawson, Jeff Davis and Terrence Green are all gone. Lawson accounted for almost 3,000 yards and 27 TDs in the last two seasons. The Pirates do return six starters on offense and five on defense. Dowling will suit up one of his smaller teams as far as numbers go, dressing out 20 players. Xavier Eutsay has shown promise at running back as has Blade Osborne at the QB position. Others that will see time in the offensive backfield include Delontre Keys, Jaylen Williams, Josh Rogers and Aaron Green. A strong point for the team will be the offensive line who return all but one starter. John Whittington, Ethan McClendon, C.J. Fussell, Lucas Pollack, Mickey Cassidy, and Todd Brown will anchor the Pirates in the trenches.
2010 District: Sneads is in one of the toughest districts around, playing in an 9 team district. Their district (Class 1A - District 1) includes Baker, Bozeman, Freeport, Holmes County, Jay, Northview (Bratt), Sneads, South Walton and Vernon. Freeport took the district crown last year and South Walton finished as the runner up. Sneads finished at a respectable 4-4 but know that they must improve that district record if they hope to make the playoffs.
2010 Schedule: Sneads will play a preseason game in Graceville and then open up the regular season at home against non-district foe Blountstown. They close the season with county rival Marianna. In between are eight straight district contest. They only break is an open date during mid-season. In their favor is the fact that Freeport, South Walton and Northview are all home games. That will put some of the tougher teams in the Pirates cove and cut down a little on their travel time.
2009: Finished the season with a respectable 5-5 record in the regular season and then won a post season bowl game against Trenton to finish 6-5. Lawson was the work horse on offense, rushing for over 1,000 yards and leading the team in scoring.
2010 Pirate Assistant Coaches: Jack Glover, Andy Ward and Shawn Graham. Team Chaplain is Andy Glover.
