Despite the efforts of South Carolina State's Dominque Ellis, top, Georgia Southern long snapper Carter Jones hauls in a pass from holder Charlie Edwards on a fake field goal in the third quarter at Paulson Stadium in this Saturday, Nov. 27 file photo. Jones and Edwards, though close friends today, were once bitter rivals on the football and baseball field in high school.
When you have the leading punter and one of the leading place kickers in the conference, there are a lot of different things that have to mesh. When your long snapper and punter/holder, grew up as bitter rivals, it complicates things even more. Georgia Southern punter Charlie Edwards and long snapper Carter Jones experienced such a rivalry on and off the field in high school.
