The Warner Robins Demons beat the Northside Eagles, their rivals from across town, 34 to 12 in their 67th game against each other on Friday, August 30th.
Photographer Diamond ChambersMiddle Georgia Times's correspondent Diamond Chambers was at the exciting game to capture photographs of the players as they gave their all on the field.
One huge play was after Northside's blunder when a fumbled ball left Warner Robins with the ball back with less than a minute left to play.
The field goal kick was then blocked by Northside's defensive linemen and Eagles's #3 Bristol Blasingame grabbed the ball and flew down the field, bringing the game to 14 to 10 Demons with a 71-yard touchdown at the end of the first half of the game.
