FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Clarke Central scored the first 17 points of the night on their way to a 17-7 win over Flowery Branch Thursday night.

The Falcons got on the board with just over six minutes to play as Brody Jordan hooked up with Jeremiah Ware for an 11-yard touchdown pass to trim the lead down, but Flowery Branch couldn't muster any more points on the way to the final score.
Jordan threw for 138 yards on the night, while Ware hauled in seven passes for 59 yards.
Flowery Branch will hit the road next week to take on Winder-Barrow.
