The Dodge County News

By Joey Marchant
Dodge shocks Northwest with 35-21 victory
Dodge won its third game in a row on Senior Night coming from behind to defeat the Northeast Raiders by a score of 35-21 and moved one step closer to a Region 3AA Championship. Northeast came in ranked 10th in the State sporting a 5-1 record and was undefeated in Region play having already defeated Bleckley County and Washington County.
Northeast won the toss and deferred. Davis Marchant took a short kickoff and got what he could up to the Dodge 34 yard line. Mikhail Carr lined up at quarterback for Dodge. On the second play from scrimmage, Carr attempted a handoff to Daylon Gordon, but the ball fell to the turf where Northeast pounced on it at the Dodge 30 yard line. Northeast used a short passing game early scoring on a four yard pass to take a 6-0 lead. The extra point attempt was unsuccessful.
Gordon fielded another short kickoff and returned it 25 yards to the Dodge 48 yard line. Three plays later, disaster struck again as Hunter Kirkley attempted to hand off to Gordon, and the ball again fell to the turf where Northeast pounced on it at the Dodge 48 yard line. This time the Dodge defense would hold forcing a three and out. The Northeast punter got off a good punt, and the ball rolled dead at the Dodge 5 yard line.
The Dodge offense could do nothing, and Mason Mangham came in to punt from his own end zone. The ball rolled dead at the Dodge 36 yard line, and Northeast had another golden opportunity. The Raiders moved to the Dodge 10 yard line, but penalties slowed them down. Facing fourth down on the Dodge 15 yard line, the Northeast quarterback rolled right to escape pressure from a blitzing Jackson Bowen. He could have easily ran for the first down and perhaps a touchdown, but he inexplicably tried to force the ball into a tight window in the end zone. Instead, Keldrick Beck batted the ball down.
The Dodge offense took over, and Kirkley hit Jalon Jaynes for 10 yards and a first down. However, after a five-yard run and a two-yard catch by Gordon, Dodge would remain short of a first down and have to punt. Mangham got off a 42-yard punt, and Northeast took over at its 26-yard line. Carr would intercept a third down pass and return it 41 yards for a touchdown to tie the score at 6-6. A two-point attempt by Dodge failed.
Mangham drove the kickoff into the end zone for a touchback. Dodge forced a three and out after Beck went high in the air for a third down pass breakup. Northeast punted, and the ball rolled dead at the Raider 46-yard line. Carr came back in at quarterback and was unstoppable. Carr had runs of 14 yards and 12 yards. Gordon carried for 8 yards, but two penalties forced Dodge back to the Raider 22 yard line. Carr then ran 22 yards for a touchdown picking up a big block from Jayne’s downfield. The two-point attempt was no good, and Dodge led 12-6.
It was about this time that Northeast began to take control of the game and really pound the football on the ground mixing in short passes. Northeast went on an 18-play drive that ended with a touchdown and two point conversion leaving only 13.5 seconds left in the half. Northeast led 14-12 at halftime.
Northeast took the ball to start the second half and scored another touchdown on a nine-play 80-yard drive. The extra point gave northeast a 21-12 lead.
Gordon returned another short kickoff 20 yards to the Dodge 46 yard line. However, Dodge lost 24 yards on a bad snap. Center Pat Stevenson had been injured on the final play of the first half, and the Indians had to shuffle some guys around on the offensive line. This led to another three and out for Dodge. Mangham got off a 44-yard punt that rolled dead at the Northeast 36 yard line. Northeast continued to move the football and eat clock. The Raiders reached the Dodge two yard line in nine plays and seemed poised to put the game out of reach. However, the tide was about to turn. Northeast scored an apparent touchdown with 3:48 to play in the third quarter, but it was negated by a chop block. An illegal procedure penalty on Northeast followed. The ball was now on the Dodge 22 yard line where Kade Harpe ran the quarterback out of bounds for no gain on second down. On third down, Reco Caines sacked the quarterback for a 13 yard loss. After another penalty, Northeast would punt the football but only net 12 yards.
Trailing by nine points late in the third quarter, it was now or never for Dodge. On third down, every linemen executed his block, and Gordon juked the safety and outran the rest of the defense 64 yards for a touchdown. Mangham nailed the extra point, and Dodge cut the Raider lead to 21-19.
Mangham drove the kickoff into the end zone for a touchback. Landynn Powers dropped the running back for a two yard loss on first down. Harpe tackled the quarterback after a three-yard gain on second down. On third down, Powers and Harpe pressured the quarterback into throwing incomplete. The punter shanked another one, and it appeared the ball was going out of bounds. However, Harpe fielded it on a bounce and returned it 20 yards down the sideline to the Raider 15 yard line on the final play of the third quarter.
Another snap sailed over Kirkley’s head for a 15 yard loss. Then Kirkley’s pass was intercepted in the endzone and brought out to the Northeast 20 yard line. The Raiders would move the ball to the Dodge 44 yard line where Dodge forced a punt. The punt went only four yards before being fielded by Beck and returned 22 yards to the Raider 32 yard line. However, a blindside block on the return moved the ball back to the Dodge 40 yard line. Gordon ran 15 yards for a first down, and 15 more yards were tacked on for a late hit out of bounds. Gordon then ran 30 yards for a touchdown. Carr ran for a two-point conversion. Dodge led 27-21.
Lamarie Mitchell dropped the kickoff returner at the Raider 14 yard line. Northeast completed a 55-yard pass to the Dodge 30 yard line. Then Harpe recorded back to back sacks. A third down pass fell incomplete, and Carr and Sherman Clay successfully defended a fourth down pass in the end zone.
Dodge took over at its 42-yard line. Carr would subsequently run 46 yards for a touchdown, but the play was called back for an illegal formation. Two plays later, Gordon ran 44 yards for a touchdown getting a block from Marchant to seal the edge and a block from Tyrese Johnson downfield. Carr ran for the two-point conversion to make the final Dodge 35 Northeast 21.
Dodge improves to 4-3 overall. The win coupled with Washington County’s win over Bleckley County leaves Dodge, Northeast and Washington County in a three way tie for first place in Region 3AA. Dodge controls its own destiny, and can win a Region Championship with wins over Washington County and Southwest Macon. Dodge will travel to Sandersville to take on the Golden Hawks on Friday November 13 at 7:30 pm.




RUSS'S SPORTS REVIEW
BY RUSS RAGAN
It was another so so week for area sports favs. The good news, I guess, was the Falcons 34-27 win over Denver; the win hurts the chances of a top five draft pick.
Then, there were the Bulldogs. Things started out so well against Florida then things fell apart in the 41-28 loss. There is a little baseball news as the Silver Slugger awards were given out.
Let’s start things out with the Falcons. They almost saw another real big lead get away but they did hang on for a 34-27 win over Denver. Matt Ryan had another solid game with 284 yards and three touchdowns. The offense seems to be pretty strong despite not having Calvin Ridley able to go. The season would certainly be interesting if leads against Dallas, Chicago and Detroit would have stood up. The team certainly seems to be playing so much better after the coaching change. The 3-6 Falcons have games left with the Raiders, Chargers, world champion Chiefs and a pair of games against New Orleans and Tampa Bay.
Like I said earlier, things started out so well for Georgia. Zeus raced 75 yards on the game’s first play for a touchdown. After a quick three and out, Bennett hit freshman wide out Marcus Roseny- Jacksaint for another score and it’s 14-0 Georgia. Things at that very point went wrong. Jacksaint suffered a broken ankle and Bennett hurt his shoulder on the play. The Gators took over from there and rolled to a 41-28 win.
The question now is, what’s next for Georgia? First of all, figure out who is the next quarterback. Let’s face it, are Mathis or Bennett really the answer? The answer is unfortunately an obvious no. The Florida and Alabama games were way to big for either of them.
The final four games should be won, so that’s 8-2; not bad right? Wrong, Hard Richt would get 8-2 out of the team. The Dogs need to figure out next year’s quarterback right now! If Daniels is healthy let him play right now. If he isn’t it’s Carson Beck time. Let’s see what the kid can do.
Let’s wrap up things with the Selron Slugger awards. The Braves won four from the National League. Freddie Freeman at first base, he is also a finalist and favorite to win the MVP this week.
We should learn soon about the designated hitter for the national league. It’s the only way the Braves will be interested in bringing back Ozuna.

Dear editor,
Well America, you got what you think you wanted: Joe Biden and Che Guevara Marxist, Kamala Harris, by proxy as the new presidential American leadership “fake” alpha bet soup media has already called it.
As soon as you calm down from your frenzy, think about what you really got and what you will be losing in short order.   When you lose your freedom of speech and cannot utter the slightest disdain for another person regardless of its validity, because these little so called Millennial peaceful protesters, and please, let’s “call a spade a spade”, looters, thugs, anarchist, and rioters will burn your business and homes down, it was your vote.
When you lose your religious freedom because it conflicts with the values of other religions, i.e: church of Wicca and Satanism, it was your vote.
When you lose your job because your employer cannot afford to pay you because of higher taxes, remember it was your vote.
When ISIS terrorist come into our cities and lop your head off with no fear of retribution, remember it was your vote.
When your Christian radio and television programs are removed from airways, because the new Biden administration deemed it “controversial” because it teaches about Jesus Christ as the Living God.  Remember it was your vote.
There are so many bad things to come that I’m betting you did not take into account before you voted. When they happen, you know who is to blame-not the Democrats, nor the republicans. The blame will be you in recalcitrant to go along with extremism ideology, your greed, selfishness, ignorance, and yes, your VOTE! 
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Liberal American Citizen, you literally have sent this country back to the Middle Ages.

Dodge County Indians tame Lamar County, 38-0
By Joey Marchant
The Dodge County Indians may finally be hitting their stride. A week after shutting out Monticello, the Indians blanked Lamar County by a score of 38-0. You have to go back to 2007 to find Dodge recording consecutive shutouts. The 2007 team under the leadership of Coach Greg Robinson recorded five consecutive shutouts. Let’s be honest. Monticello and Lamar County are two of the weakest teams in Region 3AA this year. However, it is impressive any time you can shut out your opponent.
Tyrese Johnson took the opening kickoff back 31 yards to the Dodge 36 yard line. On the second play from scrimmage, Hunter Kirkley hit Johnson on a 39 yard pass play to the Lamar 22 yard line. The drive would ultimately stall, and Mason Mangham kicked a 25 yard field goal to give Dodge a 3-0 lead.
Lamar County fumbled on their second play from scrimmage, and Landynn Powers recovered the ball for Dodge at the Lamar 23 yard line. The Dodge Offense could not move, and Mangham missed a 44 yard field goal attempt. Lamar took possession of the ball, but Dodge forced a three and out. Kade Harpe fair caught the punt to give Dodge the ball at the Trojan 40 yard line. Harpe has done a good job of catching the football in the air and saving Dodge a great deal of yardage since being installed as the punt returner against Monticello. Dodge could not move the football giving up a sack on third down. Mangham got off a 46 yard punt, which Keldrick Beck downed at the Lamar County 1 yard line.
Dodge again forced a three and out, and Harpe fair caught the ball at the Trojan 40 yard line. Daylon Gordon had a 22 yard run. Later Kirkley hit Jalon Jaynes with a 23 yard touchdown pass. Jaynes caught the ball on a wide receiver screen and made the first defender miss. He then found a wall of blockers in Cameron Gooch, Jared Frost and Clay Lee. Jaynes outran the Trojans to the front pylon for the score. Mangham nailed the extra point, and Dodge led 10-0 in the second quarter. The teams then traded punts with Mangham angling one out of bounds at the Trojan 17 yard line.
Lamar was finally able to convert a first down, but soon faced a fourth and two yards to go. The Trojans lined up for the punt but instead snapped the ball to an up back who was immediately tackled by Noah Cummings a yard short of the first down. The official quickly signaled Dodge football, and the chains were moved and reset. Lamar’s head coach then demanded a measurement. The officials huddled and debated amongst themselves. Twice it looked like they would bring out the chains for a measurement. However, eventually the officials came to the same conclusion as the Dodge sideline and fans. You cannot go back and measure after moving the chains.
Dodge took over at the Trojan 31 yard line. After a couple of negative plays, Kirkley handed to Carr who ran 33 yards for a touchdown. Carr lined up as a slot receiver and took the handoff on a sweep left, but he found a crease and cut up field near the left hash mark outrunning everyone to the endzone. Mangham split the uprights on the extra point, and Dodge led 17-0.
Lamar would return the ensuing kickoff to its own 41 yard line and have its best scoring opportunity of the game. After allowing the Trojans to reach the Dodge 15 yard line, the Dodge Defense stiffened. Gordon, Cummings and Monterrius George all converged on the quarterback to sack him back on the 22 yard line, and the clock ran out on the first half with Dodge leading 17-0.
Lamar received to start the second half and came out in a tight formation unlike the spread they would run for most of the game. The change in formation may have thrown the Indians off briefly. Lamar pounded out 3 first downs and reached the Dodge 32 yard line where they faced third down. The Trojan quarterback faked a handoff and rolled left where his pass was intercepted by a leaping Lamarie Mitchell. Another receiver had broken open on a deeper route, but Gordon pressured the quarterback resulting in the shorter pass.
After having been bottled up for most of the night, Gordon would go to work on offense. He had carries of 2 yards and 6 yards before breaking a 58 yard touchdown run. Mangham’s extra point made the score 24-0 Dodge.
A Lamar County penalty assessed on the kickoff allowed Mangham to squib it deep into Trojan territory where the returner stepped out of bounds inside the 10 yard line. The Dodge Defense swarmed to the football forcing a three and out. Harpe fair caught the punt at the Trojan 46 yard line, and a Trojan penalty put the ball at the Trojan 31 yard line. Kirkley hit Beck in the endzone for a 31 yard touchdown pass. Mangham’s extra point made it 31-0 Dodge.
Lamar’s next possession ended when Cameron Mills tipped a pass that was intercepted by Sherman Clay. Dodge could not take advantage of the interception, but Mitchell later blocked a Trojan punt and returned it 26 yards for a touchdown. Mangham’s extra point made the final score Dodge County 38 Lamar 0.
Dodge improves to 3-3 overall and 2-1 in Region play. This sets up a huge home game with Northeast Macon on Friday November 6th at 7:30 pm. Northeast defeated Bleckley County on Thursday night by a score of 37-34. This is the best Northeast team in years. They throw the ball around and score a ton of points. The Raiders are also much improved in the trenches.
The Region 3AA playoff picture is starting to take shape. Southeast Macon, Monticello and Lamar County have all but been mathematically eliminated. This leaves Northeast, Bleckley County, Dodge County and Washington County vying for playoff position. Either team could win the Region at this point. Northeast is currently undefeated in Region play, controls its own destiny and could lock up a Region Championship with a win over Dodge. Northeast has already defeated Washington County and Bleckley County. Washington County and Bleckley County also play this week, so we will know much more about the playoffs on Saturday morning.
Dodge will celebrate Senior Night before the Northeast game, so come out early to honor Senior football players, band members, cheer leaders and ROTC Cadets.



Flag football team sweeps Wildcats, 21-0
By Amy Mullis
On Monday, November 2, the Dodge County High School girls’ flag football team travelled to Locust Grove and earned their third victory of the season with a 21-0 defeat over the Wildcats.
“We have played well and are learning a lot,” said coach Clint Sanders. “The season has been a season of firsts for Dodge County Girls Flag Football.”
Among those are Ileisha Mitchell scoring the first touchdown for girls’ flag football with a 53-yard run and Sydney Powell catching the first ever touchdown pass thrown by Logan White to win the team’s third game in the fourth overtime.
A first achieved in this week’s game was sophomore Elizabeth Sanders pulling the Locust Grove quarterback’s flag in the end zone for the first ever safety.
The junior varsity team also played in Locust Grove Monday night but suffered a tough 2-6 loss.
“We have a big area game against Portal High School next Tuesday,” Sanders said. “We need to keep working hard and continue to improve each week.”



BY RUSS RAGAN
I guess there is good news and bad news this week on the sports scene. The good first, Georgia beat Kentucky 14-2 on the road to set up a top ten showdown against Florida. I guess it’s good news that the Falcons beat Carolina 25-17, but it does hurt the team’s draft next year. The Braves may be looking at an old top prospect to come back for the rotation. Also, on a sad note, we lost a local legend on our own scene.
Let’s start on the college scene as the Dogs used a strong running game and a strong defense to beat Kentucky 14-3. The running game was led by red shirt sophomore Zaneir “Zeus” White, as he had 26 carries for 136 yards, both career highs. The defense was led by Richard Lecoute, who had 13 tackles. Now, for the bad news, Stetson Bennett was not good on six more. He had another pair of interceptions to go with his three a game ago against Alabama. I just don’t see the Dogs beating Florida with him in the game. I hope I am wrong. On a note that may be worse defensive standout Lecente is out for several weeks due to a motorcycle injury that he got Saturday night in Athens. Things aren’t adding up good for the weekend in Jacksonville.
The Falcons won their second game of the year both on the road as they got a 25-17 win at Carolina. They did nothing special, as Matt Ryan threw no touchdowns for the third time this year. He did run for one though. Julio Jones had a strong game with 137 yards. The defense did have three sacks and an interception so that’s not bad. It does hurt the draft position. They have a very winnable game this week, their last, against Denver.
Remember, talking about the needed veteran-starting pitcher for the Braves?
They are reportedly after one and it’s their former top prospect Adam Wainwrights. The 39-year-old Brunswick native was the Braves number one pick in the 2000 draft. He was traded to St. Louis for J.D. Drew. The Braves got a great year out of Drew but he left as a free agent. He would be a good pickup for the Braves, but it will be hard to get him away from the Cardinals.
We have to end things on a sad note this week. Recreation department legend James “Red” Roland died over the weekend. Red was a part of the Dodge sports scene for decades. He was a fixture at the recreation department and was a ball boy for the Indian’s football team for many years. He was a fixture on the softball scene for many years. Roland was also the biggest, and only, Dodger fan I knew. I hope he got some joy out of big blue getting their first championship in 30 years recently. He will be missed by all.

Dear editor,
To stop amnesty, keep Senate in GOP control.
Amnesty for 11 million illegal aliens. Funding for sanctuary cities. A suspension of deportations. And a worsening job market. That’s what America could look like in the first 100 days of a Joe Biden administration -- but only if the Democrats gain complete control of Washington.
That’s why Georgia voters should do everything in their power to keep the Senate under Republican control, regardless of which party occupies the Oval Office in January. Without control of the Senate, Democrats’ radical immigration plans will be stopped cold.
Georgia is ranked number seven for states with the highest concentration of illegal immigrants. Ultimately, it’s low-skilled American workers, higher percentages of whom tend to be Hispanic and Black, who suffer the most economically from the presence of illegal immigrants.
Illegal aliens accept lower wages than Americans, and many businesses are willing to run the risk of hiring them. American laborers lose out on work as a result.
Consider one of the most famous examples, right here in Georgia. When ICE raided a chicken processing plant, three-quarters of the company’s workforce disappear overnight. The company, Crider, then announced job openings -- at higher wages. That helped low-income Black citizens in Georgia find decent work.
Many companies have grown accustomed to cheap illegal labor and actively prefer it. “I found that undocumented men work at much higher rates than legal immigrants and native workers, and if you look at it over time, you see the gap is growing very, very rapidly,” immigration scholar George Borjas of Harvard University said in an interview. “Ten to 15 years ago the gap in employment between undocumented and native workers was there, but it wasn’t so large.”
Borjas’ research has found that illegal aliens keep working whether prevailing wages go up or down. That partly explains why wages in labor markets with large percentages of illegal workers remain stagnant.
If the Democrats take the Senate, Congress would undoubtedly toe the Biden-Harris line. Lawmakers will not waste their golden opportunity and will press forward with their maximum demands. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer has already warned that if a Republican minority tries to stop them, Democrats will end the filibuster and proceed by simple majority vote. A GOP majority in the Senate is the only thing that can stop them if Trump loses.
To protect Georgia workers, Republican control of the Senate is absolutely critical. David Perdue has long advocated for closing the loopholes that have encouraged waves of illegal aliens. It’s the best defense against the Biden-Harris-Pelosi plans for amnesty and citizenship for those who came here illegally.

The Biden crime family is a good example of people who got rich off government connections and had big media keeping the heat off the culprits.
Hunter Biden, Joe’s ne’er-do-well son washed out of the Navy, left his crack pipe in a rental car and plenty more. Hunter Biden was getting at least $50,000 per month from Burisma Energy Co. while his father was vice plagiarist of the USA. Hunter had no qualifications, no experience in energy; he was peddling influence.
“It’s a massive pay for play scandal. The Bidens got rich while Americans got robbed.”
Donald Trump
“The business of Joe and Hunter Biden is the business of government.”

Barely mentioned by big media – Trump supporter murdered by leftist fanatics in Denver.
The Libertarian Party/Losertarian Party: Helping liberal Democrats get elected since December 11, 1971. They never win anything for their own party and Democrats love having them around.
Remember these hoaxes: ruining the ozone layer, world is running out of oil and there is no more where that came from, world is in danger of running out of food, climate deniers, if you want to go back to work you’re anti-science, freezing in July global cooling predicted in January 1970, made the cover of Time and News “weak” magazines in 1970, anything to keep you confused and easily led. 
The Big Tech industry tries to fix the election, covering for the Democrats. It’s Big Tech vs. America. In a fair election, Trump would win handily. He has to fight the unfairness, the stacked deck against him.
Sen. Cory Booker asked Judge Amy Barrett if she was a white supremacist, yet she has two more black children than Booker has.
Seen on Facebook.com: “The fact that Democrats are more angry at Donald Trump for looking into Joe Biden’s corruption than they are at Joe Biden’s corruption tells you all you need to know.”
The media philosophy: If the truth doesn’t fit the narrative, dispense with the truth.
