MOULTRIE, Ga. – Just how costly Colquitt County’s 28-0 Friday night victory over Roswell was is yet to be determined, but Packers coach Rush Propst was already making plans before he left the stadium for what will be a short week of practice.

The Packers were never seriously threatened by the Hornets in a game in which they raised their record to 4-0, but were without the services of three key offensive starters for all or most of the game.

Starting center Will Rykard was not even in uniform after being injured in practice last Monday.

Then, both starting quarterback Steven Krajewski and running back Daijun Edwards went down in the second quarter and did not return.

Krajewski went out after being sacked and, on the next play, throwing an incompletion on the Packers first possession of the second quarter.

He was 4-for-9 for nine yards passing and had carried three times for 20 yards, but suffered what Propst described as a neck contusion.

Krajewski completed his first two throws of the game, giving him 16 straight completions dating back to the second half of the previous week’s 35-21 victory over Tucker. One of his other two completions came when Cam Singletary grabbed a ball that had been batted behind the line of scrimmage. The result was a loss of six yards.

Edwards did not touch the ball again after his 11-yard run resulted in a face mask infraction against Roswell late in the first quarter.

The sophomore running back was on crutches for the rest of the game. Propst said Edwards has suffered a sprained ankle.

The status of all three starters was in doubt as the Packers began preparations for next Friday’s game at Brookwood.

The injuries forced the Packers to see how Ty Leggett would respond being the full-time featured back and how backup center Jerick Davis and No. 2 quarterback Jaycee Harden would fare.

There didn’t seem to be any complaints in the immediate aftermath of the victory.

Davis appeared to hold his own and Harden completed both of his passes for 43 yards.

His first varsity throw found K.T. Wilson tiptoeing across the end line for a 15-yard touchdown that, with Ryan Fitzgerald’s conversion, put the Packers up 14-0 with 26 seconds left in the first half.

Harden’s other completion went for 28 yards to Singletary on a third-and-seven in the third quarter to set up a 5-yard touchdown run by Leggett.

Ah, Leggett.

Already leading all Region 1-7A rushers heading into the game, all the 5-foot-10, 180-pound junior did was carry 27 times for 188 yards and score two touchdowns.

Leggett wore down the Hornets in the third quarter when it was apparent he would not share carries with Edwards, getting the ball 11 times. He carried four more times in the fourth quarter.

Five of his second-half runs resulted in first downs. Another went for a touchdown.

“When Edwards went down and the quarterback went down, Leggett brought the energy,” Propst said. “We just let Leggett be Leggett and he carried the team offensively on his back.”

Leggett, too, limped off after his final carry, which set up Nigel Hillie’s 5-yard touchdown run that capped a 14-yard drive with 7:25 left in the game.

Propst said Leggett suffered a bruise, but expects him to be in the lineup on Friday.

“He’s tough enough to play,” Propst said.

The injuries forced the Packers to pare their offensive game plan to include just 11 passes, including one first quarter overthrow by Krajewski that was intended for Fitzgerald after the Packers initially lined up for a field goal attempt.

Propst said it had been since 1996 that a team of his had thrown so few passes in a game.

Colquitt’s defense was again stout, forcing seven punts and turning away Roswell’s only scoring threat with 3:09 left in the game by creating a fourth-down incompletion from the Packers 12.

But the offense was hardly fluid offensively, especially in the first half when Krajewski and Edwards were contributing.

The first five possessions resulted in a wide right field goal attempt, a fourth-down incompletion after lining up for a field goal attempt, a punt, a failed fourth-and-2 run and another punt.

Colquitt did score on its final two possessions of the first half on a 24-yard touchdown run by Leggett and Harden’s 15-yard pitch to Wilson.

The Packers had the ball just three times in the second half, scoring on runs by Leggett and Hillie and then running out the clock in the “victory” formation.

“I was proud of the way we played, just not proud of our preparation,” Propst said. “And that starts with me and the coaching staff. We played like we practiced.”

Now the team is facing an altered schedule in it preparations for a Brookwood, which is 1-2 and was off last week.

The Broncos will not be lacking in incentive after losing to the Packers 52-14 in the regular season and 66-35 in the playoffs last year. Both games were in Moultrie.

Propst said on Friday that the plan is for the Packers to do their normal Sunday routine on Saturday and their Monday workout on Sunday.

There is no school Monday and the team will be off.

Propst said he is hoping for the team to be able to practice Tuesday and Wednesday before leaving for Brookwood on Thursday.

“I hope we can handle Saturday and Sunday,” he said. “This week is going to be tough. We’ve got to get well and we’ve got to have a good week of practice.”

PACKERS NOTES: Propst said that Roswell had decided not to come to Moultrie for the game because of concerns of the traffic on I-75 related to evacuation because of Hurricane Irma.

Colquitt County then offered to pay for the team’s post-game meal and agreed to provide an escort for part of the team’s return trip back to the Atlanta area.

Propst said that if Roswell had not come and the game had been canceled, it would have cost Colquitt County between $30,000-$40,000.
