RECEIVING-Hephzibah: Blake Bush 2-44, Tavarius Washington 1-12. Butler: Mark Bryant 3-54, Bruce Cole 2-18.

PLAY OF THE GAME: Hephzibah sophomore running back Antoine Nabors' slashing 46-yard run with 2:59 remaining in the first half on the first offensive play after Butler pulled to within 7-6.

WHY HEPHZIBAH WON: The Rebels ran the ball much better than the Bulldogs and didn't make as many mistakes. Hephzibah tallied 204 rushing yards with only two turnovers.

WHY BUTLER LOST: The Bulldogs surrendered too many big plays and couldn't stop Hephzibah from running.

STAR OF THE GAME: Nabors rushed for 128 yards on 17 carries and three touchdowns, including an ankle-breaking 46-yarder in the first half.

QUOTABLE: "It was definitely a war of attrition out there," Hephzibah head coach John Bowen said. "They did a good job of getting us out of our rhythm on offense early. Once we scored, they did a good job of coming back. I'm proud of the way our team responded after they scored. That showed me a little something about our guys."

WHAT'S NEXT: Hephzibah plays host to Thomson next week; Butler travels to Savannah to take on Benedictine.

PLAY OF THE GAME: The Lakeside defense stuffed ARC quarterback Brady Hughes on a fourth-and-1 at the Panthers' 31 midway through the second quarter. The Panthers led 13-0, but a first down would have given the Musketeers momentum.

WHY LAKESIDE WON: The Panthers (2-2) spread out the offense with seven receivers catching Chad Chandler passes. Chandler, Michael Paul and Patrick Tynan each rushed for more than 60 yards. Tynan scored on runs of 2 and 12 yards.

WHY ARC LOST: The Musketeers (0-4) generated only 108 yards on offense. Wide receiver Brandon Vereen provided the bulk of it, catching four passes for 64 yards.

STAR OF THE GAME: QB Chandler handled the offense smoothly, rushing for a game-high 73 yards and completing 11-of-15 passes for 110 yards.

QUOTABLE: "He (Chandler) does a good job moving the offense. He played within himself." - Lakeside coach Jody Grooms

WHAT'S NEXT: Lakeside plays host to Statesboro, 7:30 p.m., Friday; Greenbrier visits Richmond Academy, 7:30 p.m., Friday.
