Peach County defeated Northside of Warner Robins last week for the first time since 1997. Who were the head coaches in the 1997 game? One won 302 games in his career. (The other won 299. Answer Tuesday)
Answer to Friday's question: Here are the correct statistical interpretations for the following plays:
1. QB spikes the ball: Team is charged with incomplete pass in high school and college; QB is charged with incomplete pass in NFL.
2. QB throws ball away outside pocket: Penalty for intentional grounding in high school if there is no intended receiver (all penalty yards, no pass attempt); charged as incomplete pass in college, NFL.
3. QB tackled after poor snap: Team is charged with rushing attempt and fumble in high school and college; in NFL, QB gets rush attempt for 0 yards, snapper charged with a fumble, and lost yards counted as team fumble yardage.
4. QB misplays the snap: At all levels, QB is given rushing attempt, yards, fumble.
5. QB runs 3 yards downfield and laterals to an RB: At all levels, QB is given rushing attempt, yards to point where ball is caught by RB, who gets yards from where he catches ball to where the play ends; RB does not get rushing attempt. Also, the official football term is backward pass, not lateral.
