This time around, however, the opposite happened.

The seesaw battle was knotted at 14-14 at halftime and turned into a defensive struggle in the second half, with each team managing only one touchdown drive. S Taylor County's defense held Chipley to just 98 yards of offense in the first half and even less in the second half (65) for a total of 163 offensive yards. However, the Tigers made up for it with two long kickoff returns S in the first half, including a 97- yarder for a touchdown by Joe Green on the opening kickoff that gave Chipley a 7-0 lead just 16 seconds into the game. After the Bulldogs tied the game on their first drive with a six-yard TD pass from Genario McNealy to Sebastian Ingrain, Green almost broke another return for a touchdown, scampering 53 yards to the Bulldogs' 42-yard line before being transported to the hospital for dehydration. The heroes,for the Bulldogs were too numerous, to list on both offense and defense, as the offensive line and Padgett (13 carries, 30 yards, TD) paved the way for two rushing touchdowns and protected, McNealy, who completed 7 of 15 passes for 157. yard, and a touchdo% n. : McNealy, who was held to just two yards rushing on six carries, was picked off one time, but made a key, one-handed, leaping, acrobatic interception on defense before. leaving the game temporarily on the Bulldogs' game-winning drive due to cramps. Back-up QB Marquis Ellis calmly stepped in to keep the drive alive, completing a:crucial 24-yard pass to Tony Powell on a 3rd and 10 play from the Chipley 30-yard line to set up Padgett's go-ahead touchdown run. , Padgett set-up the great pass by making key blocks to pick up blitzes on back-to-back plays to save Ellis (1 of 4, 24 yards passing) and McNealy, on critical passes. After McNealy re-entered the. game at QB, the Bulldogs faced a 3rd and goal play from the 6-yard line when a surprise hand-off to ,.Padgett. fooled the Chipley defense and he followed Drew Southerland into the endzone. Padgett was hit by three different Tigers on the play, but refused to go.down, churning his leI:. spinning off tacklers nd Dragging two defenders over the. goaltline. Ingram (4 catches, 107 jards. TD), Powell (2 catches, 27 yards, 2-point conversion catch.i Greg Snead (1 for 2S yards) and Ellis 11 catch, 19 \srds) all made key receptions for [he Ta 'lor offense. Bryckoski Jackion finished with five carries for 16 Nards. while e Powell had nine carries for seen yards anid a ke,, sii\-ard TD run from his % ingback position.

The Bulldog offensive line, led by Southerland, Billy Joe Wigglesworth, Adam Cook, Kane Miguel,. Marcus Humphries, Lance Rowell, Shane Padgett and Jake Wilson were impressive. Revels,. Jake Meacham, McNealy, Padgett, Georgie Armstrong, Gerald Walker, Shane Bailey, Wigglesworth, McIntyre and Jacks.on led the defense. Revels '(four tackles for loss, two forced. fumbles), Meacham (three tackles for loss), Armstrong, Bailey and Padgett all recorded crucial tackles. Chipley, who was victimized for two kick returns for touchdowns by Jefferson in their pre-season jamboree, drew first blood in the game with Green's electrifying 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to grab a 7-0 lead. Taylor responded with an eight- play, 76-yard touchdown drive. keyed by an 18-yard option keeper by McNeali and a beautiful 50- yard bomb to Ingram, who blew past a defender and sped underneath the perfect sideline pass from McNeal. A pne-yard run by Padgett set up Snead's five-yard carry down to the six-yard line. McNeal threw a laser to Ingram on a slant pass to pull Taylor within 7-6 %with 8.13 to play in the first quarter. Crowley's extra-point kick sailed wide left after the Bulldogs were hit ,\ith a penalty before the extra- point play. Green then returned the kickoff 53 yardss into Bulldog territory. but that drive ended when McNeal, made his spectacular interception and returned it 23 yards to the Chipley 42. Ellis, who alternated series at QB with NlcNealy, was sacked on first down and back-to-back penalties pushed the Bulldogs back to their own 30. More penalties on the Bulldogs %\ ho finished with 11 for -90 .ards) helped Chipley pick up first downs and set up a seven-yard TD run by Josh Potter (12 carries, 62 yards, 2 TD). The PAT gave Chiple. a 14-6 lead near the end of the first quarter. Taylor started from their own 43 when the Tiger kickoff went out of bounds. Carries by Padgett and Jackson gave the Bulldogs a first down, but McNealy threw into double coverage and was intercepted on the last play of the quarter. Big defensive plays by Meacham and Bailey forced the Tigers to punt and Powell followed some great blocking to return the punt 72 )ards dow n to the Chipley eight-yard line. Padgett bulled ahead for two yards to set up a sweep pla) to Powell, who ran around the end for six yards and a touchdo% n. On what appeared to be a designed play, McNealy picked up a bad extra point snap and threw a gorgeous jump ball to Powell, who. out-leapttwo defenders.in the endzone for the tying, twb-point conversion with 7:55 to play, in the half.

We highly recognize the efforts of our Taylor County Commission and our Chamber of Commerce in their foresight to bring this proposition to the citizens of Taylor County. We realize the positive impact of the possibility of the proposed power plant, and we commend them for supporting such a project. Their efforts and leadership involved in bringing further economic diversity to Taylor County in this manner is, in our opinion, outstanding. All of the members of our Taylor County Republican Executive Committee are in total agreement and support of the proposed power plant being brought to Taylor County, which we believe will have a tremendous economic impact on Taylor County and its residents.

I have responded to the letter writer to tell the real story behind test range issue. If the land for the "test range" was simply big holes of limerock and acres of hunting woods and no lives were to be lost, the issue of the "test range" would not have been fought so hard. This "remote" test range impact area is 4.2 miles from our home, along with the homes of other families in the Econfina River community also just a short distance from the residents of Cabbage Grove and the Aucilla, River, and only 15 miles from Perry. The missile test range was not about saving' our soldiers' lives. It was, as the Talla- hassee Democrat referred to its as the "bombing range plot." Its real intention was to put money in the- pockets of Mr. Stephen Alford along with the military's reason for putting the range here; they don't want the Panhandle citizens exposed to the danger of the unreliable Lockheed missiles. As stated by Col. Robt. Nolan III, in the Tallahassee Democrat, April 15, 2004, issue, "fewer people will die if a missile' goes astray (in Taylor County) than if it goes astray in the Panhandle." After reading this statement, I am sure you would agree, the residents in the "remote" part of Taylor County were not excited about being included in the number of the "fewer people would die when. a missile goes astray," and astray they will, as you can read almost daily in any newspaper of accidents. The -2005 Department of Defense House appropriations bill stated the funding for Lockheed's JASM missile was in jeopardy because the accuracy rate of hitting the intended target is 53 percent. The question of the residents in the "remote" area of Taylor County is "where is the missile the other 47 percent of the time?" Mr. Manclark, from Washington, D.C., in October 2004, stated the proposed missile "test" 'range, including Hickory Mound, would be used 24/7, by every branch of the military, and used to test the biggest bombs ever made and yet to be made, used from now until eternity. Even though 75 percent of the voters in Taylor County voted "no" on the bombing range after being told the real truth by Mr. Manclark, Congressman Allen Boyd has said to be "ever vigilant" on this issue. The citizens of Taylor County deserve to, know the whole truth about the "Big Footprint Bombing Range." Mr. Manclark stated there never was any intent to put the bombing range in Taylor County. After that meeting and hearing that statement, I filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for all information on the Taylor w by s. tis County bombing/missile testing range. It has been 10 months since I filed the FOIA request. Every two weeks I receive a letter from Wright-Patterson AFB informing me more time is needed to go through the "voluminous" amount of records about the Taylor County missile test range. It seems strange in light of the statement there never was any intent to put a bombing range in Taylor County. Remember Congressman Boyd said to be "ever vigilant" on the test range issue. Taylor County may have a coal plant and a 24/7 bombing tange yet! As you may remember the military promised employment: emergency rescue personnel (if someone is hit, the last thing they would need would be a funeral, not emergency rescue) and personnel to bury the missile contamination in the Taylor County limerock pits in our drinking water. If these come to pass, people will not move to Taylor County, they will leave Taylor County.
