When Riversprings Middle School set their 2011 football schedule, they mentally circled two games.  One of those contests was obviously RMS’ annual Wakulla County Championship Game against arch rival Wakulla Middle.  The other was the Madison County game.  On Thursday night, October 27th, the Bears traveled to Boot Hill to play the Broncos for the Western Division title of the Florida Star Conference, and the right to play in the conference championship game.  Riversprings fans were not disappointed, as the Bears defeated Madison 34 – 14.  Coach Joey Jacobs said, “Our defense played outstanding, and our quarterback (Feleipé Franks) was phenomenal.”

Franks and his trusty receivers lit up the Madison County defense.  He was 6 of 11 for 211 yards and 4 touchdowns.  Franks would set a new RMS record for passing yardage in a game, previously held by former RMS and WHS great Cory Eddinger.  Keith Gavin was Franks’ favorite target, catching 3 passes for 145 yards (another RMS record) and 2 touchdowns.  Gavin’s receiving corps mate, Jacob Austin, caught 2 passes for 71 yards and 2 touchdowns.  Running Back Demarcus Lindsey led all rushers with 5 carries for 64 yards and 1 touchdown.  In all, the Bears produced 333 yards of total offense.

The defense provided stout resistance against the Madison squad.  The Bears were led defensively by linebacker Monterious Loggins.  Loggins had 8 tackles (3 of which were for loss) and 2 assists.  Big Kyle Weaver finished with 5 tackles and 3 assists.  Antonio Morris and Isaiah Youmas also made their presence known on the defensive side of the ball.  Morris had 4 tackles and 3 assists, while Youmas had 3 tackles, 4 assists, a forced fumble, and 2 fumble recoveries.

The win over Madison sets up a showdown for the conference championship between Riversprings and most likely, Lake City Middle. The game will be held at J.D. Jones Stadium at Reynolds Field at Wakulla High School on Friday, November 4. The game will be at 7:00 p.m.
