Wills Point junior quarterback Chase Pemberton was harassed by a solid defensive front all night long, but managed to complete 15-of-32 passes for 200 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Pemberton’s second touchdown toss was an 11-yard hookup to Smith that cut the Atlanta lead 59-24 with 3:59 left in the third quarter. Dominique Granville rushed for two touchdowns that covered 1 and 4 yards and also had an 18-yard touchdown.
