It's not how you start but how you finish. That's the mindset Blake Hutto took into the final play of Friday's Ashford Academy-Southwest Georgia Academy game.
With four seconds left, and the Falcons down by one, Hutto came up big and made the kick of his life.
His 37-yard field goal went straight through the uprights as Ashford Academy won 27-25.
Head coach Mack Williams, now 1-0, snapped a 10-game losing streak to the Warriors, going all the way back to 1975. The win was anything but routine.
The Warriors fought their way back from an 11-point deficit, as they took a 25-24 lead into the final quarter. However, it was the Falcons who took advantage of a late opportunity and worked the ball down the field, to the 17-yard line.
