No. 8-ranked Calhoun came out on top of a thrilling triple-overtime Region 7-5A opener against top-ranked Cartersville after taking an early 28-7 lead on a trio of second-quarter scores and holding on through a late Purple Hurricane rally to secure the 50-48 road win. The victory snapped a four-game losing streak in the head-to-head series — and a 62-game region win streak for Cartersville. Junior Caden Williams led Calhoun with three rushing touchdowns — including one in the first overtime period and another in the third, accompanied by a game-winning two-point run — and senior Malachi Jeffries found the end zone four times for host Cartersville.
Calhoun was first on the board with a short run from quarterback Trey Townsend, who scored again to reclaim the lead in the second quarter after the first of Jeffries’ touchdowns. The Yellow Jackets took a 21-7 lead shortly after on Williams’ first rushing score, and a 28-7 edge moments later on a 50-yard completion from Townsend to Dustin Kerns following Makadan Griffin’s interception. Jeffries got the Hurricanes back within a couple of touchdowns on a 21-yard run midway through the second, and the 28-14 margin stood until Jeffries’ third trip to the end zone early in the fourth.
Cartersville, which successfully came back from a 20-0 deficit for a 28-20 Week 3 victory against Allatoona, knotted the game at 28-28 with 5:06 on the clock with a touchdown pass from Paul Gamble to Collin Fletcher before missing a potential game-winning field goal in the final moments of regulation. In the first overtime period, Williams scored on Calhoun’s first play and Gamble connected with Connor Brasfield on 3rd-and-11 for a 35-35 tie. In the second, Gamble found Jamauri Brice for a score and Townsend answered with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Emaree Winston.
Williams ran the ball to the 3-yard line to start the third overtime period, then scored on the next play and provided the successful two-point jaunt to take a 50-42 lead. Jeffries’ fourth and final touchdown came shortly after, but Gamble was stopped short on the conversion attempt. The Purple Hurricanes (5-1) will look to rebound next week against Cass, while Calhoun will host Hiram.
