Claiming their second consecutive 3AA win, the Screven County Gamecocks took the opening kickoff and drove 74 yards in 11 plays using up better than half of the first quarter clock to score. From that point, a Homecoming-inspired defense took over to lead the Roosters to a 14-0 win over visiting East Laurens Friday night. Holding their guests to a mere 97 total yards and not allowing a penetration inside Gamecock territory until the final stanza, the defense clad in Red on Red uniforms recorded its second consecutive shutout in improving to 2-3 on the season, but 2-1 in 3AA. Senior linebackers Rodderick Grace (9 solos, 4 assists) and Duane Heindel (3 solos, 10 assists) seemed to be around the ball every time a Falcon back touched it.
