Georgia Upends Florida in Border War

January 7, 2011 was considered a final high school football game for a group of players from Southwest GA & the Big Bend (Tallahassee, FL), area.  The 4th annual Border War was held in Tallahassee, FL at Bragg stadium, on the campus of Florida A&M University.  The GA all-stars beat the FL all-stars, 49-20.  Miller County's T. T. Barbour was named GA offensive MVP.  Mitchell County's Derrick Davis threw for four touchdowns, with two of them going to fellow teammates, Yancey Burns & Desmond Jones.  All eight MCE players played a significant role in the Border War.  Grover Stewart & Freddy Pate protected Davis on the offensive line.  Jay Jenkins & Modzelle Atkins also caught passes from Davis to give GA good field position; Modzelle's catch set up Desmond Jones' TD.  Last but not least, Jontae Moore had a strong defensive game, alongside Pelham's Steve Mango & Kenya Douglas, as they helped keep FL out of the end zone.  The all-stars from Southwest GA enjoyed their week of bonding & capped it off with a hard-hitting game against FL with a big win.
