Jackets sting Devils

Statesboro High kicker Drake Horton (10), center, and Wayne County players alike react to a blocked Blue Devil extra point attempt in overtime to give the Yellow Jackets a 21-20 overtime victory Friday. Statesboro nearly upset the seventh-ranked Yellow Jackets, but instead dropped its fifth straight game since winning a pair to start the season.
The last region victory for the Statesboro Blue Devil football team came three years ago in overtime against Bradwell. It looked like the Blue Devils may have a chance to do the same thing Friday night against Wayne County, but after scoring in overtime to pull within one, the extra point was blocked and the Blue Devils felt the sting of another tough loss as they fell 21-20.
