Jay’shon Ridgle went 73 yards on first snap for Athens in season-opening road win.
The kickoff of Thursday’s season-opening rivalry game at East Limestone was delayed an hour due to the excessive heat that’s scorched the state recently, but Athens wasted no time in lighting up the scoreboard in Capshaw.
“We got it to Ridgle,” Athens coach Cody Gross said of the 5-foot-10, 198-pound senior. “He’s pretty good. It’s usually a pretty good plan to get it to him. He’s an amazing guy. I don’t think I’ve ever coached a guy like him in high school. He’s so strong. He’s explosive. He’s such a hard worker. Everything that comes his way he’s earned. We’ve just got to do a good job of utilizing his talents because he’s got a lot of them.
Athens led 21-0 early in the second quarter before Cochran’s 28-yard TD pass to Moore with 7:51 left.Ridgle said the team focused beyond the rivalry aspect of the game. Brogan Gross expressed the need to keep that same mindset heading into Athens’ Sept. 1 home opener against Bob Jones. The Class 7A Patriots lost 48-14 at Muscle Shoals on Friday.
