Jefferson Madison Co. Monroe Area Morgan Co. Oconee Co. Oglethorpe Co. Prince Ave. I think I've got a good chance to get it. As Turman put it, he's not about to put an individual record ahead of a state championship, which would be the Tigers' first since 1967.
All signs point toward it being a tremendous game.
The Panthers, like the Tigers, also have players on the verge of etching their names into the state record books. Americus quarterback Robert Johnson is chasing the single-season passing record of 3,187 yards set by Panther teammate Fabian Walker in 1998. The Clemson commitment needs 124 yards against the Tigers to set the mark, which would come one week after he set the state mark for most touchdown passes in a season with 36. But Washington-Wilkes is definitely going to be a challenge. They're just so dad-gum big and strong.
