And then sometimes you learn from the past.
The Johnson Knights learned how to win ugly Friday night, pulling away late to beat Fannin County in a key Region 7-AAA game.
Fannin upset the Knights last year and nearly cost them a spot in the playoffs.
Jeremy Casper scored on a 1-yard touchdown runs to give Johnson (4-0, 4-0) a 21-14 lead and then Cardy McKensey scored late in the fourth quarter to put the game away.
Johnson coach Blair Armstrong said earlier in the week he was worried about a possible letdown with a showdown with undefeated Gainesville looming next week.
Fannin (2-2, 2-2) matched the Knights score for score until Johnson got going in the fourth quarter.
Blake Albertson opened the scoring for Johnson in the first quarter.
