DEL.ICIO.USLincoln Co. pulls away from Commerce
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
As is the case in most years, the road to the Class A championship this season will once again go through Lincoln County.
The Red Devils (13-1) used a stellar effort by its defense, and two fourth quarter touchdowns to hold off a game Commerce squad (11-3), 21-3, in the second state semi-final of the day at the Georgia Dome.
Lincoln County held Commerce to just 120 yards of total offense, with 75 of that coming in the first half. Meanwhile, though they wasted several scoring opportunities, the Red Devils rolled up 400 yards of total offense, with 342 coming on the ground.
The rushing attack was spearheaded by quarterback Brandon Barden, who rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns, and Darell Norman, who ran for 105 yards and a score.
Lincoln County will face Clinch County in the Class A final.
