At 1-2 in region play (and 2-6 overall), the best Rick Sauls' club can hope for is to play spoiler, first against East Paulding in Friday night's home finale, then next week against unbeaten and ninth-ranked Rome.Although the playoff streak is over and a losing season (Paulding's first since 1999) assured, the team can't be faulted for lack of effort against Gordon Central. To the contrary, Sauls' gutsy Patriots gave the fleet-footed Warriors (7-1, 3-0) everything they wanted and more for much of the game, threatening to ruin Senior Night, thwart the home team's attempt to match the best start in Gordon Central history and, in the process, beat Paulding County for the first time in five attempts."I've been saying all along that Paulding is the best 2-5 team in the state," Central coach Bill Long told the Calhoun Times afterward. "They've got that huge offensive line which is all seniors. Although people might look at it as an offensive game, our defense did everything it could in helping us get the win."Paulding, held to eight points or less in five of its first six games this season, put 13 on the board in the first 13 minutes, stunning the Ratner Stadium crowd with TD runs of 13 and 10 yards by B.J. Smith. The first, coming with 2:09 to play in the opening quarter, capped a seven-play, 55-yard drive and gave the Pats a 7-0 edge following Andrew Moyher's successful PAT.The Warriors, who moved the ball at will for much of the game, threatened to tie the score on their next possession, but the drive went for naught when defensive end Darrell Henderson corralled a bad snap at the Paulding 44.It took the Patriots only three plays to capitalize on the mistake, the biggest coming courtesy of Daniel Dickson, a one-time Warrior who blistered his former teammates with a 42-yard burst up the middle on the final play of the opening period. Only a spectacular defensive stop by Dorian Porch, also Central's QB, saved the touchdown, but the Patriots still had the ball on the GC 10 as the second quarter began.Smith covered that distance in one play to make it 13-0 with 11:54 to play in the half, but Moyher's booming PAT attempt was off the mark, a critical miss that would leave the Pats behind the eight-ball once the Gordon Central comeback began.The Warriors' high-powered attack finally struck paydirt on their next possession, marching 60 yards following a short kickoff to score on a 7-yard scamper by Joey Travis that closed the gap to 13-7 following the Hector Martinez extra point. An exchange of punts left the Patriots with a golden opportunity to extend the lead following Ramon Sims' 18-yard return to the GC 47. Paulding steadily marched down the field in the minutes that followed, eventually penetrating inside the 15 in the final minute of the half. Unfortunately, D.K. Nicholson and the rest of the Warrior defense came up big on fourth-and-one, stuffing Smith at the 12 to snuff out the threat and keep the home team within six as the two squads went to the locker room.The third quarter belonged the Gordon Central, which seized the momentum when Nicholson jarred the ball loose from a Patriot ball carrier near midfield. Fellow defender Will Sullivan recovered the fumble, and the Warriors were in business at their own 48 with 10:10 showing on the stadium clock.The drive that followed consumed more than five minutes before Porch - who earlier in the possession rushed for 4 yards on fourth-and-one - tied the score with a 5-yard jaunt. Martinez added the PAT, and Central had its first lead, 14-13, with 4:42 to play in the period.Paulding threatened to answer on its next possession, driving as far as the GC 35 before a fumbled snap on fourth-and-two thwarted the Patriots' attempt to retake the lead.The Warriors answered with another punishing drive, converting a critical fourth-and-inches in the opening moments of the final quarter (Porch ran for 2 yards after nearly dropping the snap), then extending their lead one play later thanks to a sensational 29-yard TD reception by Nicholson. Martinez was again true on the PAT, and Central appeared to be pulling away with 9:32 to play.The Patriots, who went down to the wire in each of their first two sub-region games (a 7-6 overtime loss to Hiram, followed by a 22-18 come-from-behind victory over Woodland) weren't about to go down without a fight, however. Sims got things started for the Pats with a 52-yard kickoff return. Aided by a 15-yard facemask penalty, the visitors found themselves only 28 yards from a potential tying score with 9:21 to play. It took the offense just three plays to capitalize, closing the gap to 21-19 when Dickson scampered into the end zone from 18 yards out.Dickson, who ripped the Central defense for 158 yards rushing on 20 carries, struck paydirt again on the two-point conversion attempt, but a holding penalty at the goal line wiped the points off the board and forced the Patriots to try again, this time from just outside the 10.Incredibly, the offense was flagged again on the ensuing play, stopping the action prematurely just as Dickson was getting ready to unload a halfback pass toward the end zone. The foul turned out to be an illegal procedure against PC, pushing the ball back to the 16 for the third and final attempt. Fittingly, flags flew again on that play, but the penalty turned out to be irrelevant as Smith was stopped well short on a reverse.The Warriors asserted themselves on their next possession, marching 55 yards in just five plays to go back up by eight via a 3-yard run by T.J. Hamilton. Martinez could have put the game away with a successful PAT, but amazingly, the snap was bad, and Central never got the kick off.That left the Patriots with 60 yards to cover and 6:14 to do it in after 16-yard kickoff return by Smith. The offense rose to the occasion by covering 49 yards over the next five minutes, 6 of which came on a critical fourth-down run by Smith. It all came down to one play for the Pats, who faced fourth-and-six from the GC 11 with 1:10 to play. Sophomore QB Zach Sims took the snap and rolled to the right as the clock ticked down toward one minute. He appeared to have room to run, but chose to throw the ball instead. Unfortunately for Sims and the Patriots, the toss fell incomplete, sewing up the win for Gordon Central.The Patriots finished with 272 yards in the game (all on the ground), as opposed to 358 for Gordon Central. Dickson's 158 yards accounted for more than half of that production, while Smith chipped in with 94 yards on 15 attempts in the losing cause. Defensive leaders for the Patriots included Sims, Michael-Shane Freeman and Andy Dale.For the Warriors, Porch set the pace with 147 yards rushing; he also completed 5-of-8 passes for 56 yards, all in the second half. Hamilton joined Porch in the 100-yard club, finishing with 105 yards rushing on the night. Defensively, Sullivan, Nicholson and Sha McDougall wreaked havoc for the victors all night long.The Patriots return to action this Friday night, Oct. 22, hoping to run their winning streak over county rival East Paulding to seven in a row. The Raiders (5-3, 1-2) are enjoying their best season in a decade, and can clinch their first winning record since 1994 by breaking the streak, and notching their first-ever win over PC. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. <hr></table> </div>
