Allen Creasy was a little apprehensive
about letting his team wear black-on-black against cross-county
rival East Limestone.

The last couple of times Athens sported
the all black look, they didn’t play well. Friday night, the Golden
Eagles turned luck around as they defeated the Indians 48-16 in a
Class 5A, Region 8 matchup.

“The players had been asking since spring
training to wear all black for this game,” Creasy said. “We hadn’t
played very well in them in the past, but the final decision was
made because they’re the ones playing, they’re the ones it’s really
about and that’s what they wanted.”

East struck first on a 32-yard field goal
by Grant Talbert at the 2:05 mark for a 3-0 lead.

Athens quickly answered at the start of
the second quarter as quarterback Stephen Rivers hit Chris Cain with
a 51-yard pass. Armand Hunt’s extra point was no good for a 6-3
lead. Two plays later, Athens’ Hunter Lambert picked off a Manley
Carpenter pass on the East Limestone 26-yard line and returned it
for a touchdown. Hunt’s extra point was good.

Bruce Boydstun narrowed the lead with 6:43
remaining before the half on a 2-yard run. Talbert’s extra point was
no good. The Golden Eagles scored twice more before heading into the
locker room on a 48-yard pass from Rivers to Julius Jones and a
25-yard pass from Rivers to Cain putting Athens up 27-9.

“It’s a big win anytime you have a
rivalry,” Creasy said “East Limestone is tough. They’re a very
physical team, they’re going to bring it at you every single play
and they didn’t disappoint us.”

East Limestone’s only other score of the
game came in the third quarter on a 4-yard run by Devin Robinson.
Talbert’s point after attempt was good.
