Call of the Week: Thomson at Pace Academy

ATLANTA - The 680 The Fan Call of the Week had Karl Werl and Doug Konkel calling the plays for the Thomson-Pace Academy game while Photojournalist Eli Jordan shot all the action between the Knights and Bulldogs on Walsh Field.

“It is a beautiful fall evening as the crowd continues to file into Walsh Field as Thomson, the number 5 team in AAAA and most of their fans have completed the trip to Mableton on the number one team in AAA Pace Academy in this inner-classification duel.

"Thomson is already running this ball very well. By the end of this game it could be very hard for those young men having to play every time there is a snap.

"Second down and sixth, now as Mike Thomas gets it again, takes it right straight up 40, 45, midfield, still on his feet, turning on the jets at 30, 25, has one man to beat, 20. He is not going to get to him. Diving and into the end zone. Mike Thomas as he takes it to the house. 74 yards and 10-3 is your score.

"Continuing to move the chains, the running back are getting so many yards after contact, it feels like a 4th quarter. Now, wanting to throw, throws out to the left side. Has a man wide open at the 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, touchdown. Trey Parker leading, second touchdown of the season, they push it out to a 17-3 ballgame."

Thomson goes on to beat Pace Academy 38-10.
