The Madison County High School Cowboys went into the game against Gainesville High ranked number two in the state in Class 2A football. The Gainesville High Purple Hurricanes went into the game ranked number 10 in the state in Class 6A foot- ball. When the dust had cleared, the Cowboys stood victorious, racking up a 21-17 victory. Adding to the sweetness of the victory for MCHS was the fact that it was Gainesville High’s homecoming game. The vaunted Cowboys’ rushing attack was held in check by the Purple Hurricanes for part of the game but the Gainesville defense could not prevent it from scoring three touchdowns. Tommie Young led the ground game, as he churned out 121 yards on 20 carries. He also did a su- perb job blocking and had a huge third down catch for 12 yards. It was quite a birthday for Young. Young was chosen offensive player of the week. Deonshay Wells rushed 23 times for 92 yards. Wells also ran back a kickoff return for a 98-yard Eddrick Williams Charles Brown touchdown. He also made a crucial first down sav- ing tackle late in the game. He was chosen all round Kicker Zach Money converted all three of his against 300-pounders from Gainesville.
