ATHENS — Clay-Chalkville stuffed Athens on a two-point conversion attempt with 2:23 left in the game to preserve a 14-12 victory.  Clay-Chalkville junior running back D.J. Vinson raced 17 yards around the left end midway through the fourth quarter to put the Cougars up by eight points against the 2006 Class 5A state champion.

Vinson led all rushers with 108 yards on 15 carries. Defensive tackle Quinton Dial and defensive end Daniel Whatley combined for 18 tackles to lead the Clay-Chalkville defense. “This is a tough place to play,” said Clay-Chalkville coach Brent Smith. “Athens is a well-coached team that doesn’t make mistakes. Lord knows we did.”

Clay-Chalkville defensive end Tony Evans was carted off the field in the first half due to a pinched nerve and taken by ambulance to Athens-Limestone Hospital. After doctors cleared him, Evans returned to the field to watch the final quarter of the game.
