The Dodge County News

Dodge shuts out Swainsboro
By Joey Marchant
The Dodge County Indians cruised past the Swainsboro Tigers in the first round of the state playoffs. Dodge would get the ball first, and Swainsboro lined up for an obvious onside kick. Dodge sent in the good hands team to field the ball, but the kick failed to travel 10 yards giving Dodge possession at the Tiger 40 yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Mikhail Carr handed to Keldrick Beck who raced untouched 40 yards for a touchdown on a jet sweep around right end. Mason Mangham split the uprights on the extra point to give Dodge a 7-0 lead.
Swainsboro put together a drive of its own with a series of short passes and runs, but the Dodge defense bowed its back when the Tigers reached the Dodge 37 yard line. Reco Caines sacked the quarterback for an eight yard loss. However, the Tigers got that and more back by completing a pass to the Dodge 19 yard line. On first down, Noah Cummings pressured the quarterback into the arms of Davis Marchant and Kade Harpe for a sack and a five yard loss. On second down, Jackson Bowen stopped the running back after a gain of four yards to the Dodge 20. On third down, Daylon Gordon and Tyrese Johnson went high in the air to defend a pass to the endzone. On fourth down, Cummings again sacked the quarterback for a five yard loss and a turnover on downs. That would prove to be Swainsboro’s best chance at points all night.
Neither team could do much offensively in their next two possessions, but Dodge gained field position thanks to Tiger penalties and a less than stellar Swainsboro punting game. Dodge began its fourth possession of the game at the Tiger 36 yard line. Gordon took it around right end breaking a tackle at the line of scrimmage and picking up a great block from Beck down field in route to a 36 yard touchdown run. Mangham’s extra point attempt was blocked due to penetration from the right side, and Dodge led 13-0.
Late in the first half, Dodge forced a Swainsboro punt when Cummings sacked the quarterback for an eight yard loss on third down. Harpe returned the punt eight yards to the Tiger 48 yard line. On first down, Gordon took the handoff and picked up four quick yards before being stood up by three defenders without going down. Kevin Sykes, Jr. realized Gordon was still on his feet and began to push Gordon forward for extra yardage. Linemen Cameron Gooch and Lane Poole joined Sykes, and eventually the whole Dodge Offense was pushing the pile down the field for another 17 yards from where Gordon was initially hit. Dodge would have a first down at the Tiger 27 yard line but could not score as a fourth down pass to Beck fell incomplete in the end zone.
Swainsboro went to the air and was able to reach the Dodge 28 yard line, but Caines delivered another sack and a four yard loss. Swainsboro would eventually turn it over on downs. The first half would end with Dodge leading 13-0. Things got worse for Swainsboro in the second half. Bowen put a hit on the backup quarterback that temporarily knocked him out of the game. The starter had previously left the game. The Tigers lined a running back up at the quarterback position who botched a handoff attempt that bounced off the ground and into the arms of Caines who returned the fumble 26 yards for a touchdown to give Dodge a 19-0 lead. An errant snap doomed the two point attempt.
Dodge would force two more three and outs by the Swainsboro Offense before Gordon took one in from 43 yards out for a touchdown. Mangham nailed the extra point to give Dodge a 26-0 lead. A snap over the head of the Tiger punter led to a 25 yard field goal by Mangham making the score 29-0 Dodge. A snap that rolled back to the Swainsboro punter led to a three yard touchdown run by Gordon making the final score Dodge 35 Swainsboro 0.
Gordon finished with 216 yards on 21 carries and three touchdowns.
It was the third shutout for Dodge during its five game win streak.
Defensive leaders for Dodge were as follows: Reco Caines had seven tackles including two sacks and a 26 yard fumble return for a touchdown. Lamarie Mitchell had nine tackles. Jackson Bowen had eight tackles. Noah Cummings had seven tackles including two sacks. Jalon Jaynes had seven tackles. Kade Harpe had six tackles including ½ sack. Landynn Powers had six tackles. Keldrick Beck had four tackles and did a great job in coverage all night against some very tall Swainsboro receivers.
Dodge advances to the second round of the state playoffs to host Thomasville High on Friday, December 4 at 7:30 p.m. The two teams have met four times in the state playoffs since 2006 with Dodge winning 20-13 in 2006 and 17-7 in 2016. Thomasville defeated Dodge 31-26 in 2019.
Thomasville figures to be the toughest opponent Dodge will have faced this year. The Bulldogs ranked #3 in AA by the Atlanta Journal Constitution are 7-4 on the year but those four losses have come to Brooks County (#3 in A-Public), Bainbridge (#6 in AAAA), Oconee County (#2 in AAA) and Fitzgerald (#1 in AA). The Bulldogs have defeated another ranked team (Early County #6 in AA). To say the Bulldogs have been tested is an understatement. Dodge is now 6-3 after a 1-3 start. This should be a great football game. Come out and support the Indians.





RUSS"S SPORTS REVIEW
By Russ Ragan
It was a wild but successful week in sports. The Braves stayed aggressive and signed another strong starting pitcher. The Bulldogs found their missing running fame and they blew out South Carolina. Then there were the Falcons. What can I say? It was their best game in years as they blasted the Raiders as we said goodbye to their biggest fan this week.
Seldom do the Falcons deserve top billing for good things but they did this week. The key number of this game is five. Kicker Younghoo Koo kicked five field goals including a 54 yarder. The defense really came to play. They had a season high five sacks. They had five additional quarter back hits. They also had five forced turnovers, which is the most in a while. They also had a pick six from Deron Jones. The Falcons’ offense wasn’t great, as Gurley and Julio Jones didn’t dress out in the 43-6 win. Hard to believe that the Raiders are the only team to beat the Chiefs.
This past week, my dad, Buddy Ragan passed away due to Covid. Everyone that knew him knew that he was a huge Falcons fan. It didn’t matter if it was the super bowl or pre-season, he watched every snap. I am sure he loved this game from the best seat in the house in heaven. I know he was really proud of the defense.
To stick with the football theme, it was a better game for the Bulldogs as they played South Carolina. The game was never in question but the running game made a comeback. Cook and White had a pair of touchdowns each and the team ran for 332 yards, only 432 more than the week before in the 45-16 win. J.T. Daniels had a solid game even although he wasn’t forced to do very much; He had 139 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Regular season play wraps up against winless Vandy this Saturday.
The biggest bit of Bulldog news is the reports that quarterback D’Wan Mathis will enter the transfer portal. That shouldn’t come as a surprise because there is no room for him. In addition to Daniels, who I hope comes back and not to the NFL, Carson Beck, a freshman and Vandergoff will be there next year as well. Mathis didn’t play well when given the chance. Mathis didn’t make the trip to South Carolina.
Let’s wrap up this week with the Braves. We all knew that the Braves had to address the starting pitching and they did. General Manager, Alex Anththropolis signed free agent Charlie Morton to go with Drew Smyley. Morton, as some of you may know, came up as a Brave. He struggled and was let go. He has had good years with Houston and Tampa Bay.
Personally, I really like both moves. Keep in mind Soroka probably won’t be ready for opening day. Both of these should take innings off of the bullpen. There are also reports that the team will make a multi year offer to Marcell Ozuna. I know the team is waiting for the decision on the designated hitter rule in the national league. A decision should come on that real soon.

Dear editor,
American culture in general, values the good of the individual over the good of the community.
Nowhere do we see the failures of that culture more acutely than with this new enemy of the people (COVID-19) pandemic.
State leadership, and national leadership, democrats who were, and still are taking advantage of a world crises to undermine a sitting president in successfully getting their guy in the Whitehouse.  Do you not remember Chicago mayor Raham Emanuel saying, “ Never let a crises go to waste”.
The so called leaders of this country have failed the nation, bringing about the worst infection rate and silly controversies around mask wearing, social distance, and temporary movement restriction have turned into a divisive political statement about American liberty.
I remember “The greatest generation”, my parents! That sacrificed daily during WWII, is long gone now.  
In its place, 21st Century America, we have a shallow, uncaring, selfish, and downright lazy ass population incapable of the slightest grand gesture of sacrifice for patriotic purposes.  Or the common good.  
This rock we call America, and the demographics of it, consider wearing a mask to fight this deadly pandemic is a violation of their civil rights, and thinking of others is NOT in their DNA.  It’s every man for himself, if you get COVID-19, you cam handle it.   Do you not remember seeing these young feckless hooligans showing their butt in our streets in a so called peaceful protest not wearing a mask, torching business, looting, creating mayhem, and murder over some rogue cop who acted independently of a homicide.  
Just a question for you up and coming future of our country millennials, what about the potential deadly fallout as a result of your selfishness?  The doctor who treats you has plans for his future, yet places your welfare above his own, the nurse who treats you may have a family to go home to, or not, if she gets sick from your disease.  Lets assume you survive, but were complicit in the deaths of those who saved you. 
The likelihood of you ever knowing who died taking care of you is remote.  But at least you know that you exercised your right to NOT wear a mask. When I think of you, quiet candidly, I feel like taking a bath.
This is sure not your granddad and dad’s America.
At 73 years old, at least I still have memories of what America use to look like.

T-shirt message from last summer: OANN.com. That’s all it said, actually was a golf shirt. Sounds inoffensive, doesn’t it. The shirt belonged to Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy. Someone told Gundy’s star running back that OANN was a conservative organization and the player told Coach Gundy it offended him. The player-activist made a big deal out of it. Gundy should’ve told the player where to go but he apologized instead – disgusting! The player had the coach grovel and make a public display of guilt.  Big money talks and high profile coaches are well paid for their work. The game is played differently these days. If I see that Oklahoma State team on the television screen I immediately pull for the opposing team. Remember when coaches ran the teams? I check a bunch of sites and now I make sure to check the great OANN.com regularly. OANN.com – highly recommended!
Twelve U.S. House seats occupied by Democrats flipped to Republicans this month. It was a Congressional landslide, which indicates the presidential race was fixed, stolen. “The last election where that happened with even ten seats was the heavily fraud riddled election of 1960.”

“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”
Dr. Seuss
Yes, a great philosophy.
I thought of that when I saw my oldest grandson Jack play his last football game Friday for Holy Innocents’ in Atlanta.
“According to One America News website (OANN.com) a survey from the Media Research Institute found that 17% of Biden voters regretted their votes. Some 45% said they had never heard of the Biden scandals, ranging from the sexual assault allegations from legislative staffer Tara Read, to the evidence of selling influence to China and other rogue actors found in the abandoned laptop of Biden’s son Hunter.”

Dear editor,
It’s where it begins.
This nation seems to have forgotten that he was born into sin and it happen on Calvary where Christ gave his life for each of our sins.
What American should be asking, how much do I owe Him? Scripture say bless the nation whose God is Lord. Thy shall have no other God before me. Love should be directed to God, others and self. This nation attitude will determine their altitude. Have this nation forgotten that, I come to the garden alone, it Jesus Christ who is blessing me.
This is a perfect time for America to say, pass me not oh gentile savior please hear my cry, while on others please don’t pass me by. Lord whatever you are doing in this season please don’t forget about me for I must never forget about you. If this nation to get America back, we must look beyond what we can’t see to what our Lord and Savior can see.
Homes keep falling apart all because he work harder at getting married that staying married. Home is no longer an institution of morality; most are going to sin all because it seems easier to live in sin. Christ do not conform to me, I conform to him. Most of this nation are doing a great job in claiming Christ s their savior, they just don’t want to be obedience to his holy word.
God’s word is either right or wrong there is no in between. One of the most important questions this nations should ask themselves, must Jesus bare the cross alone while all the worked goes free? There is a cross for everyone; there is a cross for me, what we see that is wrong with the behaviors of the young generation is all because of parents and others such as neighbors, churches and the school system.
I wonder what Christ thinks of time our for a child’s behavior? Because of Jesus we can have peace that passes all understanding. We can have joy that can’t be taken away. We can have love that is everlasting, hope for today, everlasting forever. The problem of this nation she has forgotten that it was God who created this, not man.
Lord Bless,
Johnny Black

“No one but Trump could’ve done what he did”, says Rush Limbaugh, and we could add the Republican in-crowd didn’t even appreciate him.
Never Trumper “Republicans” Pat Toomey, Chris Christie, Jonah Goldberg, Bill Kristol, Gordon Humphrey, Mitt Romney and others all hate Donald Trump. The Republican establishment wants to hold the Senate and dump Trump. They’re just fine with Demos controlling the presidency. These folks think you will go for Marco Rubio or Nikki Haley in 2024.
Narrative management is always practiced by Big Media. There’s news and there’s THEIR news.
Just think – Ross Perot made the Clintons household names and I’ve never heard him express any remorse. I still say he deliberately helped Bill Clinton get elected.
FairUS.org has an extensive list of serious crimes committed by illegal aliens in the USA.
TheGatewayPundit.com and Nikitas3.com have great information on the ongoing Democrat vote theft.
Politico.com is notoriously liberal, Go Fund Me is far left also.
Good for the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, which endorsed Donald Trump, their first time to endorse a Republican for president since 1972.
Don’t buy liberalism – check out this site: Boycott-Liberalism.com. It has an extensive list of good and bad people and companies to dump and support. They need to update the site from 2018. The Top Five Boycotts are #1 Starbucks, #2 NFL, #3 CNN/MSNBC, #4 Hollywood Movies, #5 Jimmy Kimmel.

Dodge dominates Waco to claim region title
By Joey Marchant
Dodge traveled to the House of Pain in Sandersville with their eyes firmly fixed on a Region 3AA title. Dodge dominated from start to finish for a 35-16 victory. Washington County (“Waco”) won the toss and deferred until the second half. Tyrese Johnson returned the opening kickoff 29 yards to the Dodge 34 yard line. Mikhail Carr started at the quarterback position and took the first snap gaining 15 yards around right end before being shoved out of bounds. Hunter Kirkley came in for Carr and handed to Daylon Gordon who ran 39 yards up the middle to the Waco eight yard line. Carr came back in and ran eight yards for a touchdown. Mason Mangham split the uprights on the extra point to give Dodge a 7-0 lead.
Mangham squibbed the kickoff, which was covered by Waco at its own 32 yard line. Waco runs two very distinct formations. They prefer to line up in a single wing and snap the ball to the State’s second leading rusher Malyk Walker. At other times they bring in a more traditional quarterback and four wide receivers. On first down, Lamarie Mitchell and Landynn Powers dropped Walker for a one yard loss. On second down, Noah Cummings dropped Walker for a one yard loss. Waco then went with a passing formation, but Keldrick Beck ran the quarterback out of bounds after a seven yard scramble to force a punt.
Kade Harpe was interfered with while making a fair catch of the punt, and Dodge picked up 15 yards on the penalty to start at the Waco 48 yard line. Dodge could not move the football, and Mangham got his foot into a 41 yard punt driving the returner backwards and causing him to fumble the football. Jonah Collins momentarily had a shot at the ball for Dodge, but the returner was able to cover it at his own four yard line.
Waco then went on a 91 yard drive all on the ground. However, Monterrius George led a third down stop at the Dodge five yard line to force a Waco field goal, which was good cutting the Dodge lead to 7-3.
Dodge would be unable to move the football on its next possession, and Mangham got off a 37 yard punt, which was fair caught at the Waco 38 yard line. Harpe would drop into his hook zone and intercept Waco’s pass returning it 6 yards to the Waco 36 yard line. Dodge would move the ball with the running of Carr and Gordon. Carr would eventually score on three yard run followed by another Mangham extra point to give Dodge a 14-3 lead.
Gordon and Carr also played defense for Dodge each coming up with first half interceptions deep in Dodge territory to thwart the Golden Hawks. The first half ended with Dodge leading 14-3, but Waco would get the ball to start the second half.
Mangham executed the squib kick, which Waco had trouble fielding, and Davis Marchant tackled the returner at his own 29. Waco attempted a pass out of the single wing, but Carr stayed home to defend on the play. Dodge held on two running plays, and a short Waco punt rolled dead at the Dodge 40 yard line. Carr ran 14 yards dragging a defender the last nine yards to the Waco 46 yard line. It appeared Waco had stopped Gordon short on third down, but grabbed him by the face mask resulting in a first down at the Waco 25 yard line. Carr would take it around right end for a 25 yard touchdown, and Mangham’s extra point made it 21-3 Dodge.
Jaylon Jaynes dropped the returner at the 26 yard line. A holding penalty on first down backed the Golden Hawks up, and Reco Caines sacked the quarterback on the Waco 9 yard line. Waco would commit two more penalties before Caines and Beck converged to force a receiver to come down out of bounds after making a catch on third down.
Harpe fair caught the punt on the Waco 45 yard line. Gordon broke off a 20 yard run on first down to the Waco 25 yard line. Eventually Gordon would take it in for the touchdown from 1 yard out. Mangham’s kick gave Dodge a 28-3 lead.
Waco would mount another drive, but Jackson Bowen forced a fumble that Cummings recovered at the Dodge 10 yard line. Waco would add two late scores, and Gordon would add a 36 yard touchdown run to make the final score Dodge 35 Waco 16.
Gordon rushed for 190 yards on 12 carries and two touchdowns while Carr rushed for 91 yards on 12 carries and three touchdowns. Georgia High School Football Daily recognized the Dodge offensive line of Clay Lee, Chanler Neill, Jarred Frost, Cameron Gooch, Lane Poole and Davis Marchant as one of its lines of distinction this week.
With the win and the cancellation of the Southwest game, Dodge clinched the region championship and will host Swainsboro at home in the first round of the state playoffs on November 27.



Lady Indians named to first and second teams by Maxpreps
By Russ Ragan
The all region 3-AA softball team has been released. The Lady Indians had three players on the first team and five more on the second team. Dodge finished ranked number seven in AA in the poll by Maxpreps.
Dodge was lead by senior third baseman Logan White. She was name region player of the year and first team third baseman. White hit .419 on the year while leading Dodge with seven homers and 27 RBI’s. She also led Dodge with 31 hits. She was also four for four in stolen bases.
Joining White on the first team was sophomore catcher Ava Roland. She was the Lady Indians leading hitter with a .433 average. Roland had three homers and 18 RBI’s. She was second on the team with 26 hits.
The third member of the first team was freshman pitcher, Brooke Perdue. She was 9-3 on the year with a 2.36 ERA. She had nine complete games including a shutout. At the plate she had four doubles a triple and 11 RBI’s.
Leading the Lady Indians on the second team was senior first baseman Gracie Lewis. She hit .391 on the year with five doubles, a triple and she was second on the team with 20 RBIs.
Next up was freshman center fielder Ava Maxwell. She was sensational in the field and was the leadoff hitter for Dodge. Maxwell led the team with 26 runs scored, 16 walks and hit by pitch with seven. Maxwell led the team with a .500 on base percentage and her nine stolen bases were top for the team.
Next up, senior right fielder Bailey Harvey. She hit .317 on the season with two homers, two doubles, and a triple and 12 RBIs. Harvey was tied for second with hit by pitch with four and she stole two bases.

Wrapping up the second team is senior pitcher Linzy Bowen at the plate. She hit .304 and she stole two bases. On the mound she had four wins and six complete games. Bowen had 43 strikeouts in 56 innings pitched.

Best wishes to Dr. Ron Paul, recovering from a Sept. 25 stroke at age 85. I voted for him three different times; 1988 General Election also 2008 and 2012 Republican Primaries. Fox News froze him out of their debates in 2008 and kept son Rand Paul out of their main 2016 debate.
Why are Media leftists blocking out, refusing to cover the Biden Crime Family corruption? Also, remember the hideous way Sen. Joe Biden treated Judges Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas in their Supreme Court nominations?
Earline Hart Anderson, age 110 of Houston, Texas voted for Donald Trump in person. She looks years younger and says she has voted in nearly four dozen elections. She must be including off-year elections. Earline and her niece Rayline Binion were on Fox News and both say they proudly voted for President Trump. Good for them!
Watch out for BBH: “Beto, Biden, Harris are coming to take your guns”, says Ted Nugent. Those folks are brilliant. More gun control laws will solve our violence problem. Chicago knew that and look how they solved their crime problem. 
Chicago is a good example of liberal dreamers at work. “Rioters are masquerading as social justice warriors.”

“Is there any clearer sign of how privileged a society is than the disproportionate amount of time that society spends guilting citizens over how privileged they are?”

“No one on the Biden team could come anywhere close to the things Donald Trump has done for the American people.”
Rush Limbaugh 10-20-20  RushLimbaugh.com
Here is a good column by Nikitas3.com 10-16-20: “How Democrats move into & ruin conservative states.” Nikitas3.com is a daily read for me.
What do Kid Rock, Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd and Ricky Skaggs have in common? All are on a list of conservative celebrities to support on the site Boycott-Liberalism.com. Unfortunately the liberal list is considerably longer but there is a lot of good info on the site. I wound also suggest an update to it.
