TIFTON —
You know you are having a good night when your leading rusher leaves in the second quarter with 163 yards on six carries.
That was the case for the Irwin County Indians Friday night as they defeated the Telfair County Trojans, 55-21, in a Region 2-A contest in Ocilla.
Irwin’s Robert Moore scored two of Irwin’s first five touchdowns and averaged 27.2 yards per carry. He didn’t play again after his second touchdown with 7:08 left in he second quarter.
The Indians had 467 yards of total offense in the game, averaging 14.6 yards per offensive play.

Wynn, 35-yard run; and Petro Goolsby, 86-yard run. Eric Contreras had five extra points in the game, while Studstill also scored on a 2-point conversion.
Other than a 65-yard kickoff return in the first half, Telfair’s only scores came against Irwin reserves in the second half.
Irwin’s other leading rushers were Goolsby, 1-86; Peterson, 5-71; Studstill 3-55; Wynn, 5-50; and Marques Woodard, 1-15.
Kyle Posey was 2-for-2 passing the game for 30 yards, while Clay Paulk was 1-for-4 for 6.
Jakyron Young had 1 catch for 16 yards, Karsen Wynn had 1 catch for 14 yards and Moore had 1 catch for 6 yards.
Irwin is now 3-2 overall and 1-0 in the region. The Indians will play one of their oldest and fiercest rivals, the Clinch County Panthers, in Homerville Friday night in another league tilt. Clinch had this week off, and is standing at 1-0 in the league with a 17-9 win over Telfair.

Tattnall Square tops Tiftarea, 6-2
Ernie Banks used to say, "let's play two." In a game that was as long as two and was defined early on by errors and later by a pitching duel, it would be offense that propelled the Tattnall Square Trojans past the Tiftarea Academy Panthers, 6-2 in 14 innings. Tattnall, who won the first game of the series, 4-1 before dropping game two, 6-3, will meet Mount de Sales in the Class AAA semifinals next week.
