NORTH PAULDING VS. COLQUITT COUNTY

For the second straight year, the Wolfpack travelled to Colquitt County for their week one Playoff Game.
Colquitt started and finished the game crisp, physical and without many errors. The scored first on a 34 yard scamper by #17. Both teams battled the remainder of the first quarter with no additional scoring.
The second quarter decided to be much more eventful after North Paulding had a bad snap and their punt gave the Packers excellent field position. Colquitt quickly capitalized on a 41 yard pass to #2 giving the Packers the lead 13-0. #2 caught another pass on the Packer’s next possession and quickly the game began to get out of reach for the Wolfpack. Ross Malmgren was able to connect with, South Carolina commit, Chad Terrell for what would ulitmatley be the Wolfpack’s only score of the game. Score at half was 28-7 Colquitt.
The second half continued to be troubling for the Wolfpack as #19 for the Packers reeled in two touchdown passes making it a 41-7 game to end the third quarter. With a couple of minutes left in the game, Colquitt decided to pass the ball scoring their final TD of the night and added an unnecessary 2 point conversion, ending the Wolfpack’s state title run.
