Thanks to back-to-back wins over M.L. King and Union Grove, the football team now finds itself in control of its own destiny for a Region 2-AAAAA title. Stephenson (7-1, 4-1) blanked Union Grove 25-0 this past Friday. The Jaguar defense and special teams combined to contribute two safeties, as the units forced a fumble and blocked a punt, which Union Grove fell on in its own end zone. Also, Kerry Hartley had a 48-yard interception return, as Stephenson held Union Grove to just 89 yards of total offense. Union Grove, which came into the game averaging over 30 points a contest, only completed six passes for 27 yards. Offensively, Raymond Sanders added a 15-yard touchdown run and C.C. Gilbert connected with Richard Drake for a 36-yard touchdown pass. A week earlier, the Jaguars defeated M.L. King 27-7. The defense shined in that contest as well, as defensive end Joshua Williams scored on a 50-yard fumble recovery. Sanders rushed for two touchdowns and Gilbert rushed for a score. Stephenson plays at Greenbrier on Friday before ending the regular season at Douglass on Nov. 7.
