Titans nearly perfect in rout of Warriors

BOGART — North Oconee’s coaching staff didn’t believe the Titans played a perfect game during their undefeated regular season.

But after a 63-6 defeat of Gordon Central in their Class AA playoff opener on Friday, they may have found that elusive effort.

Behind its trademark defense, which had five shutouts in the regular season, and six different players scoring touchdowns, North Oconee rolled.

“As players, you’re never going to play the perfect game, we’re going to ask you to, but you probably never will,” Titans coach Terry Tuley said. “But if you don’t ever strive to be there, then it never will happen. … It’s just a critical eye of the coaches expecting perfection.”
