Patriots Lose In Waning Seconds 26-21

The Paulding County Patriots took to the road and traveled to Cartersville to play the undefeated Woodland Wildcats last Friday night. The Patriots played well and almost collected their first win of the season and nearly spoiled the Wildcats homecoming plans. However, lady luck was on the side of the Wildcats as they pulled out the victory late after a recovery of an onside kick and they were able to score the go-ahead touchdown with less than a minute to go in the game. The final score was 26-21.
The Patriots take to the road again this week to tangle with more Wildcats again as they travel to face a 3-2 Villa Rica squad.

SMAEL SMELLS THE END ZONE- Patriot running back Smael Mondon goes over the top to score his first of 2 touchdowns. Mondon was a force to be reckoned with on offense and defense as he collected double digits in tackles as well. #81 Austin Herrell helps fellow teammate Tony Lauzurica with the sack of the Woodland QB. Herrell had earlier scored on a 77-yard fumble recovery for a touchdown to give the Patriots an early 14-0 lead.Patriot QB hunter Jennings scrambles to the sidelines in the waning seconds to stop the clock. The Patriots tried to rally but Jennings was sacked as time expired on the Woodland 27 yard line.
