(From the Jan. 31, 2007 issue)
The Chattahoochee County High boys’ team showed that it’s ready to compete for the region title by knocking off region leading Taylor County by a score of 54-51 in Cusseta on Jan. 26. In addition to leading the region, Taylor entered the game as the No. 6 ranked team in the state in Class A.
While the win didn’t propel Chattahoochee into the top 10 rankings, the Panthers were among the “other teams receiving votes” in the latest Georgia
“Any time you can knock off a ranked team, you should feel good about it,” said Coach Jay Cox. “Our kids really worked hard. Even when we were down, we kept our heads up and stayed the course.”
Jacovi White came off the bench to lead all scorers with 19 points (also grabbing 10 rebounds). Teammate Octavius Staton got into a little foul trouble, but still managed to score 13 and pull down 9 rebounds. Kelvonte Jones had a great second half, scoring all of his 8 points with the game on the line.
Other players who scored were: Delandis Harris (6), Tacovi White (4), Dejuan Ross (2), and Antwan Ross (2).
CCHS 67, Stew-Quit 55
The Panthers also recently defeated region foe Stewart-Quitman, winning by a score of 67-55 in Lumpkin.
Octavius Staton was the leading scorer with 18 points, followed by Jacovi White, who scored 17 and had 10 rebounds.
Other players who scored were: Kelvonte Jones (8), Jabriel Renesca (6), Delandis Harris (5), Tacovi White (5), Quin Jones (4), Niko Jones (2), and Antwan Ross (2).
“We are close to being where we need to be,” said Coach Cox. “If we can stay focused and continue to work hard, good things will happen for us.”
