Football: Johnson drops heartbreaker on the road

By AccessWDUN Staff

CLARKSTON, Ga. — A late Johnson drive stalled inside Clarkston territory and the Knights dropped a tough defensive battle, 8-6, to the Angoras on Thursday on the road.

Clarkston scored first in the opening period to take an 8-0 after converting on a 2-point conversion. Johnson answered in the second quarter on an 11-yard touchdown run by Jud Farmer to cut the lead to 8-6. But the Knights could not convert on a 2-point try.

It stayed that way the rest of the way. But Johnson had one last chance to end its 30-game losing streak driving to the Clarkston 40 in the final minute. But the drive stalled as the Knights could not convert on fourth down.

Johnson (0-9) will close out its regular season next week at home against Midtown.
