The good news for Brookwood is that the season has just begun. The bad news is that the season has just begun, and offensively, the Broncos have a long way to go.
Four plays later, after a 27-yard completion from Seth Shuman to Ricco Ramsey and an encroachment penalty moved the ball to the 3-yard line, Tim Griffin sprinted into the end zone for a 7-0 Valdosta lead after Brennan Goodson’s extra point kick.
Valdosta, which wasn’t dominant offensively thanks to a gutsy Brookwood defense, came up empty on its next three drives. The Wildcats went up 10-0 late in the second quarter after a 32-yard field goal by Goodson.
On Valdosta’s second possession of the third quarter, the Bronco defense looked as if it was about to hold again, as the Wildcats faced third-and-26 from the Brookwood 44-yard line. But Griffin grabbed a bubble screen pass from Shuman in the near flat, picked up a couple of blocks, broke a tackle and danced into the end zone to effectively put the game away midway through the third quarter.
