Concluding a postgame prayer, Warner Robins coach Bryan Way raised his right arm with his index finger outstretched. Immediately Way was surrounded in a celebration by 90 of his players, who also raised their arms and gave a hearty cheer.<br> <br> The gesture capped a great victory over a great opponent. A No. 1 opponent.<br> <br> Mark Wright scored from two yards out on a quarterback bootleg with 2:07 remaining as Warner Robins ended a three-year losing streak against rival Northside-Warner Robins with a 10-3 win.<br> <br> ``Three years of whuppings. Three years,&#39;&#39; Warner Robins defensive back Antonio Holley said after batting down a pass on Northside&#39;s last play. ``We finally got that payback. I&#39;ll always remember this.&#39;&#39;<br> <br> If Warner Robins (8-0-1) wins next week game against Henry County, the Demons will claim their first region championship since 2000.<br> <br> Warner Robins managed 224 yards of total offense, about 160 yards below its average.

All I had to do was walk into the end zone.&#39;&#39;
