The smash of the pads, the roar of the crowd, and the anticipation that, at any moment, you might hear a cacophony of bells indicating that something intense is taking place in front of your nose … high school football, you have been missed.<\/p>\n

With the calendar in August, the season is upon us, and Hebron Christian Academy in Dacula, Georgia, marked the calendar with a 48-0 stomping of Therrell High School (Atlanta) and one of the longest-receiving touchdowns we’ll be able to see this season.<\/p>\n

Backed up to the goal line facing a 2nd-and-22, Hebron Christian quarterback Thomas Stallworth heaved the ball down the sideline toward midfield. Receiver KJ Thomas ran under it to catch it, broke through a defender draped on his back, and took off for the 97-yard touchdown.<\/p>\n

It halted any momentum Therrell might have been pushing for. Hebron Christian led 24-0, but from that field position, they could have been primed to allow a safety. That would have given Therrell the ball and a chance to score a touchdown, making it a game again. Instead, Stallworth and Thomas put the pedal to the metal and ended any thought of a comeback in one swoop.<\/p>\n

We can say with authority ninety-seven yards later: The 2024 high school football season is here, and we’re ready for more.<\/p>\n
