Home » Football NewsOrange Puts the Squeeze on GrahamNovember 2, 2008 By Denis Vass of Graham High SchoolOrange pulls away from Graham By Bob Sutton Times-News bob_sutton@link.freedom.com HILLSBOROUGH - It's coming together for Orange in what's shaping up as its best football season in 15 years. The Panthers provided more evidence of that Thursday night as visiting Graham came unraveled in Orange's 35-7 victory in a Mid-State 2-A Conference game. "It got away from us from the start," Graham coach Mike McCauley said. "It was one of those things - it wasn't our night." Orange (6-4 overall, 4-1 Mid-State 2-A Conference) remained in contention for a league championship. Graham (3-7, 2-3) had its state-playoff chances diminish, counting on its regular-season finale a week from tonight at Cummings High School to find its way into the postseason field. Orange scored the go-ahead touchdown with nine seconds left in the first half on quarterback Luke Hawksworth's 1-yard sneak. Graham never recovered. Three running backs racked up 70 or more yards for the Panthers. Thomas Jones gained 86 yards on 12 carries, Mike Williams picked up 81 yards on nine attempts and Drevis Torain added 71 yards on 13 carries. The Red Devils, losing their second game in four nights, never figured out how to slow down Orange's sweep plays. But the big play came at the end of Graham's first possession of the second half. A wayward snap with the Red Devils in punt formation gave Orange the ball at the Graham 32-yard line. Three plays later, Williams was in the end zone on a 7-yard run for his second touchdown of the game.
