PLAYER OF THE GAME: Glenn Hills quarterback Kendrick Armstrong put his speed on display, rushing for a game-high 113 yards and scoring the go-ahead touchdown on a 2-yard run in the fourth.

WHY GLENN HILLS WON: The Spartans settled down offensively after two turnovers in the first half and another early in the third. The defense shut down the Patriots' running offense.

WHY WESTSIDE LOST: The Patriots turned an interception into a score to take a 6-0 lead, but they didn't sustain much offense after that. One positive for Westside was freshman running back Trelijah Miller , who replaced the injured Daniel Williams and gained 38 yards on five carries.

QUOTABLE: "We regrouped (at the half). We told the seniors, 'Be leaders.' We had to step it up. We knew we'd hold them (after the go-ahead score)." -- Glenn Hills coach Ernest Tolbert
