In the weeks leading up to Colquitt County’s game against Warner Robins, Packers head coach Rush Propst was telling anyone that would listen that he was worried about his team. He was concerned that his team was too young. He worried his team would be distracted heading into the Westlake game with Homecoming distractions. He was worried about Warner Robins having the extra week to prepare for his team. He was right to worry about the Demons, especially with the game being played at McConnell-Talbert Stadium where Propst had lost two straight as Packers’ head coach. The Demons held the Packers scoreless for nearly the entire first half, scoring themselves late in the first quarter on a Michael Lee one-yard run. With less than thirty seconds to play in the half, Colquitt County’s backup quarterback Daniel Mobley hit Matt Sailor for a ten-yard score but the extra point was missed. Warner Robins immediately marched down the field and connected on a 37-yard field goal with no time left. After a scoreless third quarter, Colquitt’s final points came via a safety, and Warner Robins was able to tack on an insurance touchdown with twenty-eight seconds to play when senior Brian Sutton scored his first touchdown in two years. Sutton, who led the Demons with eleven scores as a sophomore missed his junior season with a broken neck. The Demons improved to 2-1 while Colquitt County fell to 4-1.
