Madison To Play State Semifinals Against Trinity Catholic

By Jacob Bembry
Greene Publishing, Inc.
One step away from the state championship, the Madison County High School Cowboys play the Trinity Catholic Celtics in Ocala on Friday evening, Dec. 2, at 7:30 p.m.
The Celtics have a very good offense with a senior running back named Austin McClellan who has 1,104 rushing yards on 159 carries with 12 touchdowns. McClellan also has 15 catches for 203 yards and one touchdown.
Junior fullback Demonta Blunt does more than block in the backfield. He has amassed 846 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns on 111 carries. He has also caught the ball 13 times for 191 yards.
The receiving corps is led by wide receiver Camerhon Guyton, a junior, who has 20 catches for 303 yards and three touchdowns.
A weak chink in Trinity’s armor maybe sophomore quarterback Reid Carlton. While Reid has a big arm, he hasn’t fully digested Trinity Catholic’s playbook yet. This has forced the Celtics to become a run-first team for the first time in seven years.
The Celtics’ last four quarterbacks all found collegiate homes at the University of Florida, Purdue, Miami and Valdosta State.
Carlton has amassed 1,182 yards passing with nine touchdowns and nine interceptions.
On defense, the Celtics’ linebacker Will Cothron (82 tackles) will not play in the game due to a shoulder injury suffered in last week’s playoff game.
Linebacker Marquel Holmes is a senor with 67 tackles and two interceptions.
Lorenzo Washington is a senior free safety, who has 65 tackles and five interceptions including three returned for touchdowns.
The defensive line is led by Jon General, a senior defensive end with 61 tackles and 14.5 sacks, and Cole Rogers, a senior defensive tackle, with 45 tackles and eight sacks.
The Trinity Catholic coach has a name familiar to college football fans. He is a former University of Florida starting quarterback, John Brantley, and his son, John, was the starting Gator quarterback this year.
Trinity Catholic posted a 14-0 record and won the State 2B championship last year before moving up to Class 3A. This year, they have not been as fortunate, compiling a 7-4 record. One opponent the Cowboys and Celtics have in common is the Gainesville High Purple Hurricanes. Trinity lost to them 29-6, while Madison beat them in Gainesville 21-17.
Kickoff will be at 7:30 p.m. at Trinity Catholic’s stadium, located at 2600 SW 42Nd St. in Ocala.

Madison County Cowboys Attend FCA Camp

cowboys

The Madison County Cowboy football team and coaches just returned from the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Team Camp Three.  Coach Coe wanted to say thank you to all who gave their hard earned money to send the team to FCA camp.

The annual camp is hosted by Marianna High School and the teams are housed at the Blue Spring Assembly in Marianna. The Cowboys joined Pace High School of Pensacola area and Branford High from Suwannee County for Camp Three. Jefferson County, Marianna High School and Frankie Carroll’s Pelham, Georgia, team made up Camp One. Taylor County, Chipley, Wakulla and Jay made up Camp Two.

The camp began at 10 a.m. each day with team practices and live competition, runs for two hours each morning and afternoon. The players are in “shells,” which is everything but lower pads. The players love it because they have been doing passing leagues in shorts and are anxious for some live contact.   The coaches love this 11 on 11 live format because kick-off is only four weeks away for most and they get a good look against live competition.

The FCA staff loves it because we have the privilege of sharing the message of Christ with the all the teams.  The coaches are challenged in their personal faith and encouraged to be a positive influence for their communities. Statistically, eight out of 10 teenagers in America do not attend any church, but 100% of their team attended team camp.

From July 22-31, 515 coaches and athletes attended these three camps and 172 athletes made personal commitments for Christ. “There seemed to be a real hunger for direction and truth in the lives of the students and coaches this year. There is so much instability in our culture, students are looking for foundational truth and relationships they can build their lives on,” said Steve McHargue, FCA Area Representative.

Many thanks to everyone who gave to make this summer camp season a record success.

Former Cowboy Head Football Coach Takes Job In Georgia

Frankie Carroll

Frankie Carroll

Former Madison County Head Football Coach Frankie Carroll is headed to Pelham, Ga., to assume duties as the school’s new head football coach.
“This door was opened by the Lord,” Carroll said. “I had been praying to the Lord, for a long time, for a chance like this.”
While Carroll was the head coach at MCHS, the team amassed an amazing win-loss record. The Cowboys went to the state championship three times with Carroll as head coach and won one title.
When Carroll was an assistant coach at the high school, the team went to two state titles games and won one of them. Randy McPherson was the head Cowboy coach at the time.
McPherson was one of the driving forces in getting Carroll the job at Pelham. Now the head coach at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Ga., McPherson suggested Carroll for the job to the school’s principal.
The Pelham principal called Carroll and offered him the job. The school board made it official on Thursday evening, April 7.
Carroll said that the Pelham team looks just like the Madison team, although their record doesn’t show it. The Hornets went 0-10 last year and have hardly won any games since 2002.
“The main difference between the teams,” Carroll said, “is that the Cowboys knew they could win and Pelham just isn’t sure.”
Carroll said that he wanted to instill that confidence in the Hornets.
After stepping down as the Cowboys’ head coach two years ago, Carroll has kept busy driving the school bus and working with the ESE program at Madison County Central School.
Carroll is a graduate of Greenville High School, where he played defensive back for the Pirates. The Pirates won a couple of Suwannee Valley conference titles during the time he was in high school.
Prior to becoming the Cowboys’ head coach, Carroll was the Cowboys’ JV coach and coached the defensive ends on varsity.
Carroll and his wife, Della, have a son, Jeremy, and a daughter, Rebecca Wambolt. They also have two grandchildren, Ashton and Lexi Carroll.
“Della and I would like to thank all the people of Madison County for supporting me over the years,” Carroll said.
