Coaches: Paul Woolley, Brantley and Jack Hankins Sr., Millport
Game: Played Friday December 2, 1983 at Millport
Summary:
Dale Brock booted a 25-yard
field goal in overtime to lead the Junior Tide to their first
ever state championship capping off a perfect 14-0 season for
Millport. The game was played in a torrential downpour that made
the field more like a swamp than a football field.
Much of regulation p-lay was
spent with both teams simply trying to hang onto the football
and gain some sort of field position. The closest either team
came to scoring was midway through the last quarter. Brantley
drove to the Millport fifteen yard line before a snap was
fumbled by Brantley quarterback Todd Johnson.
In overtime, Millport won the
toss and decided to play defense first. Brantley was unable to
score. Millport stuck to their running game on the first three
down, getting the ball as close as possible, setting up the
winning field goal.
