It's unlikely now that the Northside-Warner Robins defense will get the school record for points allowed in a season, giving up 14 to rival Warner Robins.But that didn't matter to Sam Robinson, who sacked Shane Sams on fourth down in overtime to seal the Eagles 20-14 victory over Warner RobinsThe win gave Northside the Region 3-AAAA South title and the sub-region's top seed entering next week's region playoff."This is a huge win for us," Robinson said. "This is the best feeling in the world right now."On second-and-8, Sams went back to pass, linebacker Mitchell Bell and Bradon Tooker sacked the sophomore for a 8-yard loss. After an incomplete pass in which Sams overthrew Maurice Gray, Robinson came right up the middle for the fourth-down sack."It was a great game," said Bryan Way, who suffered the first loss (22-1-1) of his two-year coaching career at Warner Robins. "There were so many people here and they got their money's worth.It didn't take long for the Eagles (9-0) to score in overtime. On the first play, Jacobi Rodriguez threw a 15-yard touchdown to Nick Bass for the deciding score.But Northside kicker Chris Barnard missed the extra point. Good thing the Demon's defense made a tough stop in OT against Warner (8-1)."We just hung in there and played," Northside coach Conrad Nix said. "The offense came in and made some big plays for us.
