Road Trip Continues for FCS Varsity Football Squad at King's Ridge

The varsity football team from Fellowship Christian School has prepared a bit differently this week.

FCS faces King's Ridge Christian School on Friday night (Oct. 18) in Alpharetta in a Region contest and the team's second of three straight road contests. The team is getting ready for two different offensive styles.

"They are a young football team," said Al Morrell, who has posted a 50-24 all-time record at FCS. "Their starting quarterback got hurt 2-3 weeks ago, and they had a completely different offense last week. We will have to adjust our defense differently depending on their quarterback. If [Braxton] Chadwick is back, then they'll run the option. If not, they'll probably have a similar offense to what we have faced the last couple of games."

Solid defense and offensive consistency are keys for the Paladins (4-0 in Region games and 6-0 overall) on Friday.

"Offensively, we have to do what we do well," Morrell said. "We hope to throw the ball a bit more on Friday [and over the next few weeks]. But our run game has been outstanding. We knew we had some good backs, but our line has been great. The left side of our line is new this year, and those kids have really stepped up. Coach Rice has done a great job getting our line ready."

Through six games, the Paladins have gained 2,536 yards (including 2,069 yards on the ground). Junior Murphy Reeves leads the FCS team with 729 yards and 73 carries, and shares the lead with eight rushing scores.

Junior Eli Hildebrandt leads the FCS passing game with 382 yards (20-for-39), and has picked up 205 yards on 36 scrambles. As a team, the Paladins have 467 pass yards.

Freshman Jayven Hall has collected 405 yards on 49 attempts, while sophomore Josh Cole has added 349 yards on 32 rushes. Hall and Hildebrandt have both scored eight rushing TDs, while Hall has scored seven touchdowns on the ground.

Cole leads the FCS defense with 29 assisted tackles and 44 total stops, while Hall ranks second with 39 tackles (14 solo stops, 25 assists). Junior Nathan Nardone leads the team with 18 solo stops, and ranks third with 38 tackles overall.

The Paladins extended their win streak to six games with a 48-21 victory at Saint Francis on Oct. 11. It was the team's sixth straight game with at least 40 points to start the season.

"It was a good game," Morrell said. "They played us tough, especially early in the game."

Fellowship enters the game with a 6-3 all-time record against the Tigers, including a 40-14 win at Bob Lord Field on Oct. 12, 2018.

King's Ridge (0-4 in Region games and 1-5 overall) enters the game on a four-game losing skid that includes a 35-7 loss to The Walker School on Oct. 11.

Win Streak Continues: FCS Football Team Tops 40 Points again in Victory at Saint Francis

The historic streak continues for the Fellowship Christian School football team.

FCS' 48-21 victory at Saint Francis on Oct. 11 marks the team's sixth straight victory and its sixth straight win topping 40 points.

When the Paladins reached 40 or more points for the fifth game in-a-row two weeks ago it marked only the 32^nd time in state history – and second occasion this season – that a Georgia high school team has scored 40-plus points in each of its first five games of the season, according to Georgia High School Football Daily. Now the FCS squad has extended the streak that's been accomplished by even fewer teams.

At Saint Francis, Murphy Reeves led the FCS run attack that was a big reason why the Paladins (6-0 overall and 4-0 in Region play) continued its streak.

The junior back gained 198 yards and scored four touchdowns on 20 attempts at Saint Francis. The Paladin run game picked up 441 of the team's 503 yards in the game, and accounted for seven touchdowns.

It marked the second straight game that Fellowship finished with 500 or more yards on offense. The defense held the Knights 305 yards, including 189 passing yards and 116 on the ground.

Sophomore Josh Cole collected 138 yards on nine attempts and one touchdown, while freshman Jayven Hall added 53 yards and one score on 10 attempts against the Knights.

Junior quarterback Eli Hildebrandt passed for 62 yards (3-for-7), and picked up 26 yards on seven rushes and one rush TD. Senior Bryce Paul earned 26 yards on six carries. Cole, Paul and senior Trexton Lewis all picked up one reception.

The game was tied at 7-7 after the first quarter. Reeves scored from 4 yards out at 9:59 of the first quarter to open the scoring. Sophomore Jack O'Connor booted the extra point.

The Knights tied the game on a 38-yard TD pass and extra point before the Paladins exploded for four straight touchdowns to take a 35-7 lead after the third quarter, including three in the second quarter.

The second-quarter scores came on Hall's 3-yard run at 10:49, Reeves 1-yard run at 3:16 and Hildebrandt's 1-yard QB keeper with 1:21 left. Junior Matt Rodgers booted the extra-point after Hall's score, missed the kick after Reeves' score, and junior Jordan Brewer caught a two-point conversion pass from Hildebrandt to make it 28-7.

FCS' second scoring drive was set up by a blocked field goal and return, and Brewer's interception in the end zone started up the third TD drive. Reeves'60-yard gain helped set up Hildebrandt's TD run.

Reeves scored again, this time from 6 yards out, with 2:27 left in the third quarter for FCS' fourth straight touchdown. Rodgers booted the first of consecutive extra points to put FCS ahead 35-7.

The Knights scored a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns – a 5-yard pass and a 68-yard pass – that sandwiched Reeves' fourth rush touchdown that left the score 42-21 with less than five minutes to go.

FCS closed out the scoring on Cole's 44-yard run with 3:18 to go. It was 48-21 after the missed extra point.

Junior Cole Chapman led the Paladin defense with three tackles, and tacked on one for a loss and a sack. Josh Cole (one solo, one assist), junior Charlie Patterson (one solo, one assist) and Hall (two assists) each added two tackles.

The game at Saint Francis began a string of three straight road contests for Fellowship. The team travels to King's Ridge Christian School on Oct. 18 at 7:30 p.m., and plays in Johns Creek at Mount Pisgah Christian School on Oct. 25 at 7:30 p.m.

The Paladins host Whitefield on Homecoming Night on Nov. 1 at Bob Lord Field. The school will host a crossover game – which will hopefully be for the Region championship – on Nov. 8 at Bob Lord Field. Both games begin at 7:30 p.m.

Week 6 Preview: Region Showdown Between FCS and Saint Francis Expected to Show Plenty of Offense

Scoring points has not been a problem for the Fellowship Christian School varsity football team this season.

In fact, FCS' 48-17 victory over Mount Paran Christian School at Bob Lord Field on Sept. 27 marked only the 32^nd time in state history – and second occasion this season – that a Georgia high school team has scored 40-plus points in each of its first five games of the season, according to Georgia High School Football Daily.

The Paladins (5-0 overall and 3-0 in Region play) will need a strong offense effort on Friday night (Oct. 11) at Saint Francis, according to FCS head coach Al Morrell. Kickoff in Alpharetta is slated for 7:30 p.m.

"We're going to need to score points against Saint Francis," Morrell said. "We need to continue to score [40 points a game]. They are very strong at every position, and are bigger up front than we are. They are the most athletic team we have faced, and have four players – a quarterback, fullback and two wide receivers – who are very explosive and very, very fast. I said at the beginning of the year that Saint Francis and Whitefield will be our toughest opponents of the season. I still believe that."

The Knights (3-2 overall and 2-1 in Region games) enter the game against the Paladins coming off a 45-27 road victory at The Walker School on Oct. 4. On Sept. 27, Saint Francis lost 20-17 to Whitefield. The team's other loss came earlier in the season to North Cobb Christian School, which Morrell calls "a very talented team."

Fellowship, coming off a bye week, impressed its coach against Mount Paran.

"It was very exciting," Morrell said. "It was a big win for us. In the last few years, the winner of that game has gone on to win the sub Region. We beat a very good football team."

Fellowship's keys against the Knights will be to hold Saint Francis to short drives and limit the team's big plays on defense, and establish a strong run game and sustain long drives on offense.

"We need to play our best defensive game of the year," Morrell said. "We have to keep their receivers from making big plays, and stop their fullback from long runs. That quarterback can run and throw too. We need to continue our strong run game."

Through five games, FCS has outgained its opponents 2,050 yards to 1,093, including 1,645 to 465 advantage on the ground. A total of 15 Fellowship rushers have combined for 29 touchdowns on the ground, while the Paladin defense has held opponents to just five run TDs this season.

Junior Murphy Reeves leads the way for the Paladin run game with 53 carries and 526 yards, while freshman Jayven Hall has collected 352 yards on 39 attempts and sophomore Josh Cole has registered 233 yards on 23 rushes. Hall shares the team lead with seven rush TDs, while Cole has scored six and Reeves four.

Junior quarterback Eli Hildebrandt has shown good balance. He leads Paladin passers with 320 yards (17-for-32) and three touchdowns, while he's gained 179 yards on 29 rushes with seven rush touchdowns to share the team lead.

Junior Nathan Nardone leads the FCS defense with 15 solo tackles and 32 total stops, while Cole has registered 31 total tackles with a team-high 21 assists. Hall is next on the squad with 29 tackles, 16 assists and 13 solo stops. His six tackles for a loss top the Paladins.

The game at Saint Francis begins a string of three straight road contests for Fellowship. The Paladins host Whitefield on Homecoming Night on Nov. 1 at Bob Lord Field. The school will host a crossover game – which will hopefully be for the Region championship – on Nov. 8 at Bob Lord Field. Both games begin at 7:30 p.m.

The girls varsity cross-country team from Fellowship Christian School placed ninth among all 26 teams from Classes A to 6A in the team competition at the Darlington Festival hosted by The Darlington School in Rome, Ga., on Sept. 28.

The FCS girls finished higher than any of the teams from the Region.

"In spite of the heat and humidity, unusual for this time of year, the girls varsity team had a great placement," head coach Tom Harrison said. "They placed first among our Region's competitors, including North Cobb Christian School, Whitefield Academy, The Walker School and Mount Pisgah Christian School. Importantly, each of the girls who ran in the varsity or JV races at the Darlington meet this same time last year improved upon their times from those races this Saturday [Sept. 28]."

Junior Sami Rickheim led the Fellowship girls with an 11^th-place finish out of 185 runners on Sept. 28.

Competing on this course will help the Paladin squads prepare for the Region meet.

"For both the girls and boys teams, the Darlington cross country meet provided an opportunity to preview our region meet, which will be held in Darlington on the same course at the end of October," Harrison said.

Now 5-0: Paladins Win Battle with Rival Mount Paran in Varsity Football Action at Home

Even Al Morrell was a little bit surprised at the big-play ability his team showed on Sept. 27.

Of the Fellowship Christian School varsity football team's seven touchdowns in Friday night's 48-17 victory over Region rival Mount Paran Christian School at Bob Lord Field, four went for more than 50 yards.

"We did not expect that many big plays," Morrell said. "We beat a very good football team tonight. It's a great feeling that we won this game. The coaches and I are very happy for the kids, and especially the seniors."

In WSB-ABC's Viewers' Choice Game of the Week, the Paladins offense exploded for season highs with 547 total yards and 457 rushing yards as the team matched its' season-high for points in a game. The FCS squad (5-0 overall and 3-0 in Region games) opened the season with 48 points in a victory over 5A North Springs Charter High School on Aug. 23.

The packed house at Bob Lord Field witnessed the Paladins beat a previously unbeaten Eagle squad in a contest that has been a key contest in the sub-Region standings for the past several years. In fact, the winner of this game has gone on to win the last three sub-Region titles.

"We still have a lot of good opponents left," Morrell said. "We have to face Saint Francis and Whitefield – two very talented teams. But this game has been huge for both our schools. The last few years the winner of this game has gone to win the sub Region."

Fellowship Christian School has improved to 4-3 all-time in varsity football against Mount Paran, including a 4-1 mark since 2016.

On Friday night, the trio of junior Murphy Reeves (14 for 263 yards), freshman Jayven Hall (17 for 162) and sophomore Josh Cole (eight for 113) combined for 438 yards and five touchdowns.

"Reeves, Hall and Cole are running the ball so well," Morrell added. "They're getting a lot of yards. Jordan Brewer is also running so well after the catch. The key is our blocking. The offensive line is doing a great job, and our backs are blocking for each other."

Mount Paran (2-1 overall) gained 190 of its 320 yards through the air.

Junior Nathan Nardone led the Fellowship defense with eight tackles (six solo), while senior Trexton Lewis finished with six tackles. Lewis, Nardone and junior Joey Archer all recorded one sack for the Paladin defense that pressured star Mount Paran quarterback Niko Vangarelli all night.

FCS quarterback Eli Hildebrandt had a good game of his own. The junior signal caller completed 3-of-5 pass attempts for 90 yards, including a 70-yard TD catch-and-run for Brewer. Hildebrandt also scored one rushing TD on a 2-yard plunge.

"The O Line had a heck of a game," Hildebrandt told WSB. "They blocked out of their minds."

Click here to watch coverage of the game on WSB-ABC's SportsZone with Friday with sports director Zach Klein.

The Eagles jumped on the board first with a rush touchdown to take a 7-0 lead in the first quarter before the Paladins scored twice (Cole on a 3-yard first-quarter TD run and Hall's 67-yard sprint to the end zone after breaking two tackles in the second quarter).

Following a 20-yard Eagle field goal, Reeves broke a tackle, bounced outside and sprinted down the sidelines. Hall's two-point conversion run put FCS up 21-10.

Brewer's TD pass from Hildebrandt opened the third-quarter scoring with 6:38 left. It capped a 93-yard drive set up by a key stop by the FCS defense's stop on a 4^th-and-2 scramble by Vangarelli from the Paladin 3-yard-line. Junior Matt Rodgers' extra-point kick was just wide, but he finished 4-of-6 on the night.

Mount Paran's TD pass play with 3:25 left in the quarter cut the Fellowship lead to 27-17.

But the Paladins went on to score on three more rushing plays over the final 15:25 (Cole from 54, Hall from 3 and Hildebrandt from 2).

Fellowship to Face Mount Paran in Another Huge Varsity Football Game

It seems like every year, the varsity football team from Fellowship Christian School faces Mount Paran Christian in a very meaningful football game.

For the past several seasons, the two schools have finished among the top two or three slots of sub-Region standings. It appears 2019 might not be any different as the Paladins host the Eagles in a battle of undefeated team at Bob Lord Field on Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m.

The Paladins enter the game with a 4-0 overall mark and a 2-0 Region record, while the Eagles are 2-0 overall (1-0 in Region games). Mount Paran defeated King's Ridge Christian School, 55-6, on Sept. 20, and won 63-7 at Our Lady of Mercy on Aug. 30.

Fellowship is 3-3 all-time against Mount Paran, including wins in three out of the last four meetings. Fellowship won last year's game in Kennesaw, 21-13, on Sept. 4, lost to the Eagles at home, 26-7, on Aug. 25, 2017, and won both meetings in 2016.

"They are by far the best team we've faced this season," head coach Al Morrell said. "They are well coached, and are a very well conditioned football team. They are always the team for us to beat in our sub-Region. They have a lot of talent, run the ball well and have a talented quarterback. We have to contain him. They are tough to defend because their schemes are different every year."

So far this season, the Paladins have shown balance on offense and consistency on defense.

The Paladins have outgained their opponents, 1,499 to 775 yards, this season. Those statistics include a 1,186 to 337 yard advantage on the ground with 23 rushing TDs. Junior Murphy Reeves leads a strong group of runners with 363 yards on 39 attempts.

Overall, the club has notched 313 yards through the air, led by junior Eli Hildebrandt (13-for-25, 228 yards and two scores). Junior Jordan Brewer leads the club with eight catches and 101 yards.

Freshman Jayven Hall leads the team's defense with 26 tackles.

"I am very pleased with the way some of younger guys have stepped up this season," Morrell said. "They are playing well. Our line and backs are blocking well. Hall, [freshman] Kyle Elphick and [senior] Trexton Lewis have all really made great contributions. It's been a team effort. Our defense has played well. Jake [Robertson] and his staff have done a great job with the defense."

After bad weather forced the Paladins to play two games in five days – 42-14 win at Stratford Academy on Sept. 20, and 47-0 victory at The Walker School on Sept. 16 – the FCS squad had a normal week of practice this week.

"Last week was tough, but our team was up for the challenge," Morrell said. "We were back to our normal routine this week. With 90-degree plus weather, we have been practicing a lot more in shorts lately, but we have had good practices this week."

The Paladins are ranked 14^th and Mount Paran is tied for 15^th in the GHSA Power Ratings. FCS owns eighth place in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution rankings.
