Georgia foe too much for CA

SM-Tn Sports

For Columbia Academy, the Friday trip to meet Rabun County (Ga.) at Boyd-Buchanan in Chattanooga was intended by veteran coach Charlie Lansdell to be a stiff test as the Bulldogs prepare for the Division II-A playoffs.

The Tigers certainly provided a test, as junior Gunner Stockton and his squad scored on their first six offensive possessions and cruised to a 42-6 win.

Stockton, a 2022 South Carolina commit and the top-ranked dual-threat quarterback in his class across the nation, lived up to the hype against the Bulldogs’ defense. He completed 14-of-18 passes for 241 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran for a score, but only carried the ball three times for eight yards in the game.

Lang Windham was the workhorse out of the backfield for the 6-1 Tigers — from Tiger, Ga. — carrying nine times for 122 yards and scoring the final touchdown of the first half on a 27-yard play-action throwback pass from Stockton. Windham added 51 receiving yards to his resume in the game.

Columbia Academy (1-7) was held to just 124 yards of total offense in the game. No Bulldogs ran for more than 19 yards in the game, as Max Ballard led the way with 19 yards on seven carries.

Camren Horton did haul in a 30-yard touchdown pass from Nick Brown late in the fourth quarter as the Bulldogs avoided the shutout.

The Bulldogs will look ahead to Fayette Academy on the road in next week’s regular-season finale.
