The early morning is not usually

thought of as prime football time, but the PACE Panthers didn't seem to

mind the early start time as they cruised to a 27-0 victory over Grace

Chriatian of Columbus on Saturday, Aug. 27. The early start time was due

to the county jamboree at McCurry Park.

"It was a tough situation but we seemed to shake off the cobwebs

and get after them pretty good," said Panther coach Mike Hall.

John Billups rushed for 115 yards and scored two touchdowns, while Kelly

Coats added 84 yards rushing and one touchdown. PACE led 20-0 after the

first quarter.

Josh McKibben intercepted two Grace passes and scored a touchdown after

a 33 yard return. Cedric Allen led the defense with eight hits. The Panthers

defense limited Grace to less than a 100 yards of total offense and forced

three turnovers in the victory.

The Panthers traveled to Kennesaw on Friday for a match with Colonial

Hills.
