Apalachee wideout John Ansley ceelbrates after a 58-yard touchdown reception from Jon Lee as the Apalachee Wildcats beat the Winder-Barrow Bulldoggs in Winder on Friday, October 3, 2008.
Friday Night Lights got blacked out during the Battle of Barrow County this past week, featuring the visiting Apalachee Wildcats and the Winder-Barrow Bulldoggs. The Bulldoggs are modeled after the UGA team in colors, mascot and music from the band so it seemed fitting that they would "Blackout" their biggest game of the year.
... And it was every much as effective as Georgia's Blackout against Alabama as Apalachee went on to win 51-6.

We saw the half-back option, a nearly blocked punt, nearly an interception, and a fumble in the end-zone for a TD. With the big-play nature of the game, i found myself completely out of position for some of them. Both teams were home teams which means i usually shoot who has the ball and will get in front of them by 10-15 yards so i can get a running play or crossing pattern. Not so in this game as after Appy went up 14-0, i just started focusing on them and hanging around the line when Winder had the ball. The fumble in the end zone was just bad luck, right spot but ball went to the far side so I missed most of it. Missed the jube when an Appy staff member decided to run on the field, right in front of me... not that i needed it as i already had the play of the game, a 58 yard halfback option from Jon Lee to go up big.
Once again, deadline is the key. I brought the laptop and a Verizon card to send from the parking lot, as it wasn't needed. I left with Apalachee up 35-0 to get some much needed food and beat that halftime traffic.
I really liked this Winder photo but due to the score, it quickly became photo gallery fodder.

Did you see the Notre Dame photos where they did the "White House"? Which is basically the same thing as a black out but with white. And don't get me started on all those "pink outs." Trends trends trends...
