Game MVP: Franklin Few, Clay County
Records: Clay County (14-1); Southern (14-1)
Coaches: Danny Horn, Clay County and Larry Boykin, Southern
Game: Played Saturday, December 3, 2005 at Legion Field in Birmingham
Summary:
Leading 10-0, the Clay County Panthers' Lanell Wilson returned the second-half kickoff 89 yards for a touchdown
to lead the Panthers to another state championship.
The heralded Clay County defense lived up to its billing
by posting its ninth shutout of the season. It limited the
Southern Choctaw Indians to 183 total yards and seven first downs.
Senior strong safety Franklin Few, named the game's most valuable player, had two interceptions and made a touchdown-saving tackle on the final play of the first half
to preserve a 10-0 lead.
The Panthers allowed Southern Choctaw to cross midfield only three times. The Indians' deepest penetration was the Clay County 9 late in the third quarter.
