    Hawks win regional championship
    By MARK THOMAS, Altavista Journal Editor
    Wednesday, November 28, 2007 11:10 AM EST








    Gretna settled its account with Goochland Friday night and earned a berth in the Group A, Division 2 football final four.

    The Hawks, ahead only 12-7 at the half, scored early and often in the last two quarters to cage the Bulldogs 52-14 in the Region B final.

    The win ended Goochland's 25-game winning streak, and earned Gretna (12-0) a trip to King William High School (7-5) for a state semifinal game Saturday. Kickoff is 1:30 p.m.

    Gretna's win over the defending Group A, Division 2 champs paid the Bulldogs back for last year's 6-0 win.

    "I would have taken 15-14," said Gretna coach Chris Thurman. "I'm happy with the score."

    Gretna wasted no time putting points on the board. Ten seconds into the game at Lester Bond Field, Gretna had a 6-0 lead, thanks to Theo Miller's 78-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Taking the low, angled kick on the Gretna side of the field, Miller found an opening and sprinted to the end zone.



    "To open up the game like that, it was huge for us," Thurman said.

    Tyon Bennett said Miller told him he was going to run the kick back.

    "He made a statement on the first play," Bennett said.

    Goochland coach Joe Fowler said special teams hurt his Bulldogs, who finished the year 11-1.

    Miller, a senior, was hurt later in the game. He was on the bench with ice on an ankle. Whether he'll play Saturday wasn't clear Tuesday.

    Gretna increased the lead to 12-0 in the second quarter as freshman quarterback Nick Miller dove into the end zone from two yards away. Miller had hit Stephon Jennings on a 24-yard pass to open the drive.

    For the game, Miller completed 12-of-17 passes for 147 yards and one score. He ran for 65 yards on 15 carries and four touchdowns.

    "He was a good manager," Thurman said of Miller. "Now he can come out and lead."

    "It feels great. I have a lot of seniors around me," said Miller, when asked about being a first-year quarterback of a team only two wins from a state title.

    Gretna's second touchdown came after Bryant Vennable pulled the ball out of M.J. Cox's arms and recovered the fumble.

    Goochland had several scoring opportunities ended by turnovers. Kevin Dale intercepted a pass in the end zone. Devonne Keen and Kell Stone also recovered fumbles.

    Fowler said the turnovers were uncharacteristic for his team.

    Thurman gave credit to his defense.

    "We played like we normally do. Our defense has been pretty aggressive and physical all year long."

    The Bulldogs scored just before halftime when D.J. Coles, who's bound for Virginia Tech, went around left end for a 10-yard touchdown. Cody Simmons added the extra point.

    It didn't take the Hawks long to take control after halftime. Only 19 seconds into the third quarter, Gretna scored again.

    After Goochland couldn't handle the kickoff, the Hawks took over at the Bulldog 43. Miller passed to Zach Dalton, who caught the pass, spun around and headed to the end zone. He was caught at the four. Miller then ran into the end zone on the next play to make it 18-7.

    Stopping the Bulldogs, including a two-yard loss by Coles on a hit by Tyron Haskins and Kwame Berger, the Hawks needed only five plays before Miller scored again, this time from a yard out.

    Five minutes into the third quarter, Gretna was up 24-7.

    Coles sprinted 71 yards to cut the lead to 24-14, but the rest of the night belonged to the Dogwood District and Region B champion Hawks.

    Bennett broke through the line and ran 18 yards for a touchdown. Jennings caught the two-point conversion pass to increase the lead to 32-14 at the end of the third quarter.

    Bennett finished with 118 yards on 13 carries and two scores.

    The senior back said he'd gotten a lot of rest and ate a lot of turkey for Thanksgiving.

    "Think that's what did it," Bennett said with a smile.

    In the fourth quarter, Miller's pass was tipped by Goochland's David McKenna into Dalton's arms for a 28-yard touchdown. That made it 38-14.

    "Zach played a heck of a game," Thurman said.

    Dalton, Jennings and Jayme Barksdale had two catches each, while Bennett had four. Vennable and Theo Miller had one each.

    The fumble bug hit Goochland again as Lloyd Taylor coughed up the football and Bennett recovered at the 15.

    Miller scored on the next play and Stone kicked the extra point to make it 45-14 midway of the final quarter.

    Bennett scored the final touchdown with about two minutes left on a two-yard run.

    "365 days we waited. This one was sweet," Keen said.

    Saturday's semifinal opponent, King William, was runner-up to Colonial Beach in the Tidewater District. The team started 1-5, and is on a six-game winning streak.

    "This team has come together and is playing as a unit," Dan Jones, the school's athletic director said.

    The Cavaliers use a mixture of pass and run on offense. Players to watch include quarterback Lewis Redman, receiver Michael Williams, running back Clinton Hill and tight end/linebacker Kevin White. Head coach is Roger Brooks, who has more than 250 wins at King William.

    King William High School is about 35 minutes northeast of Richmond on Route 30.

    Tickets are $8.

    gc may very well lose, but they alot of tradition in that program. they will not lay down for gretna. if they lose, i'll say it will be by no more than 14 points. i look for a good showing from the devils.

    35-0 Gretna, it will take a miracle for GC to stay in this game. When was the last time a Region D team beat a Region B team? I know we've lost 5 in a row and it very well could be more.

    According to the roster, the QB Miller is only 157lbs. It'll be interesting to see how he holds up when GC pops him a few times.

    One must catch before one can pop.

    Looks like he has the line to protect him and have done a pretty good job at it so far....
