A-G stormed out to a 28-0 first-half lead before eventually earning a 28-8 win over the Jaguars at Ayden-Grifton High School.
"I couldn't be happier," Cornwell said. "We've worked hard to make ourselves a better football team, and I think tonight we finally played the way we're capable of playing."
The Chargers (4-1) started their domination from the outset, marching 78 yards in 6 minutes, 22 seconds before fullback J.D. Strickland's 1-yard touchdown run capped the 13-play drive and gave A-G a 6-0 lead. After only five FC plays, Strickland struck again for the Chargers from 1-yard out to cap a 10-play, 69-yard drive that ate up 4:01.
Another stalled Jaguar drive gave rise to another lengthy drive by A-G — 11 plays for 60 yards in 4:58 — which concluded with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Matt Dougherty to a leaping Courtney Fuller in the back of the end zone to make it 22-0.
"Any football game when you play, you've got to be able to control the line of scrimmage and we talk about that every single day," Cornwell said. "It's not about going through the motions, it's about winning every play. That's what we tried to do tonight, win every play."
