Coaches: Rush Propst, Hoover and Steve Savarese, Daphne
Game: Played Saturday December 9, 2000 at Legion Field, Birmingham
Summary:
The 6A Championship game matched Daphne's defense against the high powered offense of Hoover. Lance Rhodes riddled the Trojan defense for 343 yards
by completing 19 of 37 passes to lead the Bucs to a 28-7 victory and the 2000 6A state title.
Rhodes tossed three touchdown passes of 51, 10 and 50 yards and ran 4
yards for another score.
The Hoover pass-oriented game plan
worked to perfection as Rhodes hit Joey Chambers with a 51 yard
screen pass over the middle for a touchdown only 58 seconds into
the game. The Bucs came right back on their second possession
and drove the ball 70 yards in 6 plays for another score and a
14-0 lead half way through the first quarter.
The Trojans could
not get untracked in the first half with six fumbles, two lost,
including one at the Bucs 16 yard line in the first quarter. Lee
Baker put the Trojans on the scoreboard by returning the second
half kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown. Hoover answered with two
quick scores of their own when Rhodes threw touchdown passes of
31 yards to Danny Rumley and 51 yards to Chad Jackson.
Lizenby
would lead Daphne with 163 yards passing on 12 of 25 completions
but was sacked four times by the Bucs defense. Lee Baker would
also add 90 yards rushing on 12 carries for the Trojans.
The
game was the first championship game appearance for Daphne after
never advancing past the second round in three previous trips.
This was also Hoover's first journey to the title game since the
school opened in 1994 replacing Berry, which had won two titles
in 1977 and 1982.
Great Moments in Alabama High School Football History
Etowah defeated Oxford 69-63 in 1991 to set a state record for most points scored by both teams in a playoff game.
