The questions on everybody's lips before this game were, how good is Creekside's Eric Berry and will Starr's Mill be able to stop him? The answers were very good and a little bit.

Berry scored on the third play of the game, rushing 74 yards for a touchdown. He also scored the second touchdown of the game late in the first quarter on a 31 yard carry. In the second quarter, Berry intercepted a pass from Robby Davis and ran close to 50 yards for the third touchdown. Creekside scored once more before the half to take a 28-0 lead.

It was a different story in the second half with Starr's Mill putting together long drives and controlling the ball for 10 of the first 12 minutes. The Panthers got touchdowns from Branden Lewis and Terrell Tripp and Dante Cheeks made a number of drive saving catches for first downs. The defense also kept Berry quiet and Creekside's drives short. It wasn't enough to overcome the 28 point deficit though.

In addition to being handed a region loss, Starr's Mill also lost running back Brandon Witta early in the first quarter. Witta was in street clothes and on crutches by the third quarter. Starr's Mill's other top tailback, Greg Davis, was out of this game due to injury as well. Their status for next week is unknown at this time.

Creekside hosts Whitewater next Friday and Starr's Mill will play at Westlake.
