DOUGLAS – The Colquitt County seventh-grade football lost 34-24 on Wednesday at Coffee in a rain-soaked, muddy, run-heavy game.

The loss drops the seventh-graders to 3-1.

Colquitt will go on the road again next Wednesday to play at Valdosta.

After Coffee scored first, My’King Johnson scored and Xylan Spivey ran for the 2-point conversion and the Packers led 8-6 halfway through the first quarter.

Coffee scored again, but Jaxon Rowell hit JJ Irvin on a long touchdown pass to enable the Packers to retake the lead.

Spivey ran in the conversion again and the lead was 16-12.

Near the end of the opening quarter, the rain started coming down harder.

Coffee scored twice more and led 26-16 at halftime.

The Packer offense tightened the margin when Spivey found pay dirt on a dazzling run, breaking two tackles and eluding the final defender near the goal line.

Johnson ran in for the 2-point conversion and the Trojan lead was just two points.

The Packer defense battled valiantly on Coffee’s last possession, but on fourth-and-goal, a Trojan runner found his way to the end zone.

Coffee converted for two points and the final 10-point margin.
