First Cobb Senior Bowl - An ENORMOUS Success
Wow. On the first attempt, organizers Martha and Michael Siano of Xecute Consulting Partners nailed it. Scores of coaches, players, families, fans and scouts packed McEachern Stadium Saturday at 3:00 p.m. to take in the first annual Cobb County All-Star Senior Bowl.
The Americans, led by Stanley Jennings’ 5 of 7 pass completions for 123 yards and one touchdown, edged out the Nationals 27-24 in a game that came down to the final whistle. For the game, North Cobb’s Calvin Middleton had 64 yards and one touchdown on seven attempts, and the return games provided plenty of excitement for the crowd - Brian Sutherland took a kick-off 94 yards to the house with 4.4 seconds left in the half, and Marietta’s Trey Charles nearly returned the favor but was stopped at the three yard line with no time left on the clock in the first half. But in the end, it was the American’s defense led by North Cobb’s Bryan Presume and Nnamdi Ezenwa that was too much for the Nationals to overcome.
