Willie’s actions echoed through the team as his teammates rallied hard around him in the second half, falling just a few yards short from a win as time ran out.

• Battery Creek Senior defensive back Trevon Heyward (#20) was chosen as the team’s outstanding defensive player for his play against Whale Branch last Friday.
