Summary: Turnovers were a big part of the 5A state championship game as Williamson made them and Etowah capitalized on them
in a 42-26 win for the Blue Devils. The Lions threw four
interceptions and lost two fumbles during the game but were able
to keep it close until the third quarter.
Jamarcus Russell would complete 11 of 13 passes for 134 yards in the first half but his lions quickly ran into trouble in the second half..
Adam Gilmer intercepted Russell at the Lion's 48 yard line on
the first offensive play in the third quarter. Etowah would
score a touchdown on the drive and another shortly thereafter to
take a 35-14 lead with five minutes left in the third quarter.
Mayo
would complete 6 of 12 for 150 yards for the Blue Devils who
would celebrate their first state championship after losing in
the past two state title games. Jamarcus Russell would finish
the game completing 18 of 34 passes for 256 yards. Carnell
Williams would lead all runners with 194 yards rushing and a 91
yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
This was the first time
Williamson had made an appearance in the championship game.
