For the second consecutive season, Statesboro went from a potential Region 3-AAAA championship game appearance to a must-win play-in game in the span of one night. Fighting a tough Wayne County team – and Mother Nature – throughout the evening, Statesboro put itself in a position to win, but George Hill’s 44-yard field goal attempt with 21 seconds remaining hooked to the left, and the Yellow Jackets claimed a 7-6 victory Friday night at Womack Field. “It might seem like it all came down to the kick, but it was more than that,” SHS coach Steve Pennington said.
