Sat, Dec 16, 1995Macon CountyW12-0H['more']
#1 Macon (14-0), LC#2. MC beat Charlton, Metter, Manchester. Big team. Manchester asst coach (ex Devil player) said Manch could beat LC by 13. Huge crowd for 6pm start (due to WW-EC & Josey at home). Freeman scored on 2 runs. Great passing by Leverett to Tutt & Albea. Smoke on entrance. MC's huge sign tore before players could run thru it. MC did not cross M46, as their huge, heralded running attack gained 49yd in 1st half, 21 in 2nd. Passing game was "horrendous". Freeman 2nd effort on 2nd TD left MC players crying on field. MC 73-7 over 6 yrs, but no state titles (59-1 reg season). LC had 108rush, 155 pass. MC came on school buses (2 team, 3 band, 5 students) + 4 chartered fan buses. MC had allowed only 33 pts during reg season. LC defense ranked #4 overall.

CC had 6 Div. I prospects. Controlled game w/size/speed. CC may have been best team in state (all classes).
Sat, Dec 20, 2003HawkinsvilleL8-18T['more']
Hawkinsville, loaded with Division I talent, was supposed to run all over our Devils, but the Lincoln Lads quickly showed this would be a tough game. QB Travis Clark suffered a concussion on LC's second play, tried to return, but was removed in the third quarter when he couldn't remember plays. A bad officiating call on a time-our request by Hawkinsville helped those Devils scored as the first half ended, taking momentum and a 12-0 lead. LC came back on a fumble takeaway and a 25-yard run by Shawntavius Jennings to cut the lead to 12-8, but 14-0 Hawkinsville hit another long pass for 18-8 and held on to win their first title since 1959.
Fri, Dec 2, 2005Washington-WilkesW25-0H['more']
THE BIGGEST GAME EVER. Before over 7,000 fans at BBF, LC dominated the Tigers 25-0 for the Class A State Title, and evened the all-time series (31-31-6) for the first time since 1922. 10th title for Campbell, 13th for Devils, and 7th straight finals loss for W-W. Fans lined up at 3, gates opened at 5 for 7:30 kickoff. National Guard assisted 40 law enforcement officers in crowd control. Alex Bradford made diving catch at 1 to setup Barden QB sneak with 36 seconds left in first half. Rontae inches short of returning interception for TD as half ended. Devils stopped Tigers with only 6 rushing yards in 2nd half, while running for 171 and 3 TDs themselves. Barden had 3 TDs on the night.
