Highlights of Sprayberry's 10-7 loss to Wheeler

There were six minutes left in the fourth quarter. Sprayberry High School fans were looking forward to a 7-3 victory, built on a strong defense and costly penalties from Wheeler High School.

It wasn't to be.

Wheeler's Allen Artis read the route of the Jackets' receiver and picked off a screen pass in the slot. Artis ran it in for a touchdown to grasp victory from the jaws of defeat.

Torrey Richardson scored Sprayberry's touchdown with 1:15 left in the third quarter, giving the Jackets a 7-3 lead. 

The defensive play of the night was a fumble recovered by senior Atuan Johnson at the Sprayberry goal line with 1:46 left in the 2nd quarter.
