In the football world, there is a saying that is often used at the end of a game, “the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat”. The Glory For Christ Championship Game between the North Georgia Falcons and the Christian Heritage Lions was played in a beautiful stadium on a absolutely beautiful day and both teams had shining moments throughout the game. It was something special to behold as both teams played their hearts out and it is really unfortunate that one team came out on the short end of the score. In a game of this magnitude, the championship game, there will be the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
North Georgia took the opening kickoff at the 22 yard line. Eleven plays later the Lions defense held on 4th down at the 32 yard line, taking over for the first time after the Falcons had the ball for almost 8 minutes. It only took Christian Heritage 3 plays to go 68 yards and a touchdown as QB Daniel Pierce connected with Mason Sikes who had gotten behind the Falcons defense. The extra point kick by Pierce was good and at 3:55 left in the first quarter Christian Heritage led 7-0.
The Falcons went 3 and out on their next possession and kick to the Lions. The Lions took over at the 19 yard line. Five plays later they punted and the Falcons took over at their own 35. Using a combination of passes and runs the Falcons moved to the Lions 35, then Tim Howard found his favorite receiver, Riley Davis, with a pass and Davis took it to the house (end zone) for a 35 yard TD. The extra point kick was blocked, leaving the Lions in the lead, 7 to 6, with 6:31 left in the 2nd quarter.
Christian Heritage went 3 plays and then punted to the Falcons 47. Howard went to work again as he connected on 5 passes, the last going 8 yards to Elijah Hiers for the score with 56 seconds left in the first half. Kicker Brett Snyder was good on the extra point kick and the Falcons had the lead at 13-7.
With less than a minute left in the half, the Lions moved the ball from the 27 all the way to the 7 yard line, however, the clock ran out before the Lions could get off another play. Halftime score: North Georgia 12 Christian Heritage 7.
The Lions took the second half kickoff, but could not get anything going and had to punt. The Falcons then ran 3 plays and had to punt which only went about 15 yards giving the Lions good field position at the 32 yard line. On the second play, Drew Lee of the Falcons recovered a Lions fumble at the 30 yard line. The Falcons marched down the field on 9 plays with a mixture of passes and runs, however, they stalled at the 30 yard line and on 4th down the Falcons lined up for a field goal. Kicker Brett Snyder then booted a 46 yard field goal to give the Falcons a 16 to 7 lead with 49 seconds left in the 3rd quarter.
Both teams then traded possessions with neither team able to do much. Then the Lions took over at the 8 yard line and using the passing arm of Daniel Pierce connected on six passes, finding Ethan Turnmire for the TD of 29 yards. Daniel Pierce kick was good and the Lions were back in the game but still behind 16-14 with 3:36 left in the game.
After kicking off to the Falcons, the Lions defense bowed up and stopped the Falcons on 3 plays. The Falcons lined up to punt, but attempted a fake punt which the Lions were able to stop the Falcons short of a first down at the 43. The Lions took over and on first down, Pierce found Mason Sikes at the Falcons 11 yard line for a first down. The Falcons stopped RB Terrell Wison after a 3 yard gain, then Pierce tried a QB sneak that took it down to the 2 yard line, however, time was running down. The Lions decided to go for the win with a field goal, however, a bad snap was recovered by the Drew Lee of the Falcons, giving them the victory and the Glory For Christ Championship 16-14 over the Christian Heritage Lions.
The Falcons celebrated the thrill of being victorius while the Lions dealt with the agony of defeat after coming so close to the victory. It’s been a great season for both teams and nothing should take that joy away from either of these two team!

GAME OF THE WEEK (Oct 9) : Christian Heritage vs North Georgia
By Larry Fleming larryfleming@daltoncitizen.com
Christian Heritage has played two of the three best teams in the Glory for Christ football league, and beaten them both. The third team in that trifecta — the North Georgia Falcons — will travel to Dalton on Friday to challenge the Lions (6-0 overall, 5-0 GFC), who have won 18 straight games over the past two seasons. The Falcons have a 5-1 overall record and are 4-0 in league play. “Traditionally, their one of the top powers in the league,” Lions coach Mike Vaden said Wednesday. “They’ve been in the playoffs each of the three years we’ve been in the league. And they’re one of the founding teams of the league.” However, each time the Lions have been challenged this season by title contenders, they’ve came out on top. They beat Dominion Christian, 27-12, and the Georgia Force, 16-14 in previous regular-season showdowns. Now, it’s time to battle the Falcons. “It’s always a competitive game,” Vaden said. “We have beaten them twice at their place and two years ago they came up here and beat us in the final 17 seconds of the game. We’ll have to play 48 minutes of football to compete with these guys.” That’s exactly what the Lions have been doing all season. The offense, directed by coordinator Danny Carter, has averaged 41.5 points per game and the defense is allowing just 8.0 points an outing. In six games, the Lions have held three opponents to eight points or less, with two shutouts in that stretch. “North Georgia is a very experienced team,” Vaden said. “Most of their starters on offense and defense are back from last year. Tim Howard is a fine quarterback and very effective at what he does with their offense. “And Riley Davis has done a fine job for them as a receiver and they’ve got a new kid, Brett Snyder, who has really solidified their kicking game.” Vaden said the Falcons will utilize the spread offense and sometimes shift into a two tight end I-formation set when they’re in short-yardage situations or trying to control the tempo. “They’ve got some experienced linemen who come off the ball well and push you around because of their size,” Vaden said. “We’ve had to make some adjustments defensively because of their line spreads that are designed to create lanes for the backs.” Defensively, the Falcons will use a 5-3 stack, which Vaden said has become a popular scheme in the GFC, and also a 3-5 alignment. “That 3-5 is relative new,” Vaden said. “Quite a few schools have gone to that. What we have to do is move the ball on the ground to set up our passing game. I think we can throw against them, but it’s only going to be effective if we’re running the ball.” The Lions are led by Terrell Wilson, who is the workhorse at running back on offense and middle linebacker on defense. Quarterback Daniel Pierce makes the offense go and can either run or pass effectively. Ethan Turnmire, Cody Stansell, Mason Sikes and Daniel Groce are all counted on by Vaden to keep their streak alive.
North Georgia 49 Bartow Generals 0
The Falcons offense was very efficient scoring on the first play on each of their first 4 possessions of the game. On their first possession, QB Tim Howard connected with Brett Snyder for a 79 yard TD pass. The 2nd possession resulted in a Howard to Riley Davis 71 yard TD pass. Brian Ross ran 49 yards for a TD on the 3rd possession and Riley Davis returned a punt 85 yards for a score on the 4th possession. The Falcons went on to score on another Tim Howard to Riley Davis pass of 81 yards, a Brian Ross run of 23 yards, and a 50 yard TD pass from Howard to Ryan Rivers. Kicker Brett Snyder was good on all 7 extra point kicks. Howard completed 9 of 10 passes for 274 yards and 4 touchdown. Gabe Jefferson, Kris Setser and Christian Jones led the Falcon defense. Bartow’s running game was successful in moving the ball up and down the field and had opportunities to score. Andrew Gifford and Andrew Kolodziejski each had over 100 yards rushing.
Holy Spirit Prep 41 North Georgia 18
The North Georgia Falcons lost to the Holy Spirit Prep Cougars in a battle of unbeaten teams in a non-conference game. The Cougars (4-0) were in the state semi-finals of the GISA I-AAA Championship last year and are looking to return to seek their first championship this year. The Cougars are loaded with talent and that starts with All-State Quarterback Curtis Johnson, who ran for 2 touchdown and threw three touchdowns passes to lead Holy Spirit Prep. The Falcons fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter, then scored on an 85 yard interception by Brett Snyder at the beginning of the second quarter to cut the lead to 14-6. The Cougars took advantage of a Falcon fumble and a bad punt to score twice before halftime to go up 27-6. The Falcons regrouped at halftime having done very little on offense. The second half saw the Falcons do alot better both on offense and defense, but they never could get back into the game. The passing game accounted for both of the Falcons scores as Tim Howard connected with Michael Jefferson for a 55 yard touchdown pass and then found Riley Davis for a touchdown that went 45 yards.

2005 North Georgia Falcons Football Season
By Roger McDaniel
As we arrived at the National Association of Christian Athletes facility,
reality set in for me as a coach as I watched the deluxe buses from the
large Christian Schools roll in ..Nebraska, Missouri, Mississippi, Alabama, Kansas, Texas, Florida, and so on and so on. In last week’s article, this coach had all but closed the door for this year’s football season. I even went so far as to thank all of our local businessmen and women for their support and generosity toward the Falcons because I was thinking that it would be the final article that I would want to write about a game this season. Yes. The North Georgia Falcons had finished the regular season with a respectable record and one that earned them an invitation to compete for the NACA title. However, deep down I didn’t quite believe that we would be good enough and I knew we didn’t have the depth in positions as we did in our 2004 season to be able to go all the way.
As we traveled, my prayer was that our team would end our season with a respectable showing. Well folks, coaches don’t play this game on Friday nights. Young men do and I totally miscalculated the most important asset a football player has and that is his heart and the desire to win. The week of practice before we left, I was actually preparing my players to accept the fact that we were gonna have fun as a team on this outing. My players would come up to me and say, “Hey Coach. We’re going to win too!” At which I would reply, “Sure, but the most important thing on this trip is to have fun guys!” I’ve eaten a lot of crow in my day, but this plate of black bird tastes like prime rib! Our guys played superbly on offense moving the ball up and down the field when we needed points and not making mental mistakes. Our defense choked our opponents’ powerful offense and shut their running game down completely. The Falcons created turnovers when it counted and shifted the momentum back to us time and time again. I was in awe as our players would march down the field, score and then get on defense and stop our opponents’ fresh offense. These guys were like that ol’ bumblebee.. too short and heavy to fly according to aerodynamics, but that ol’ bumblebee flew anyway! That is exactly what our Falcons did. They flew above the competition when everyone thought they couldn’t (even this coach). The Falcons accepted the challenge from their coaches to go and play and have fun. They also dedicated themselves to climb the mountain and bring
back to Georgia the National Title for the first time since Valdosta’s
Lowndes Christian School won it in 1988.
Football is the greatest sport I ever played or coached. But as we all
know, it is just a game, and as a young man, my dad used this game as an illustration for the greatest game. That is the ‘game of life.’ As he
explained to me then, it also is played in four quarters but we can’t see
the clock ticking, so we don’t know when the game will end. Each of us had better be ready when the whistle blows… through faith in Jesus Christ. I witnessed over 100 young men from Christian schools, answer the call for Christ at this year’s tournament. Winning the title of National Champion is a wonderful feeling, but seeing those young men come to Christ is a feeling that is beyond description. Yes, we are the 2005 National Association of Christian Athletes Division IV Football Champions, but that fame is like a vapor that will one day fade away. The lives of these young men will forever be changed.
Thanks again to all of the community leaders who helped to make this
year’s North Georgia Falcons’ season a ‘National’ success. Falcons 42 -

2004 North Georgia Falcons Football Season The North Georgia Falcons finished the 2004 Football Season as the GFL Champions and the NACA (National Association of Christian Athletes) Division 4 Number 2 team. The North Georgia Falcons were invited to the NACA (National Association of Christian Athletes) National Football Tournament in November, 2004. We were successful in making it to the Division 4 National Championship game, but lost 20-6 to the Asheville Saints in a hard fought game played in the mud. Despite controlling the ball most of the game and having possession 6 times inside the 10 yard line, we were only able to score one time. It was a great experience for us and one which we will not ever forget.
