<p>This was a game filled with emotion, scoring, and elite prime-time performances including a NINE-TOUCHDOWN performance from signal caller [player_tooltip player_id='378901' first='Andre' last='Adams'] in front of college coaches from a variety of conferences, including Mississippi State head coach Jeff Lebby.</p>

<p>This meant massive receiving games for his younger brother "Bug" Adams and [player_tooltip player_id='966033' first='Brandon' last='Goliday'] as well, who made play after play after play to keep the Bears ahead from the start of the game to the very end.</p>

<p>Antioch might have thought they had the game in the bag when they went up 56-29 with 5:49 left in the third quarter, but the Panthers mounted a fiery comeback to nearly tie the game and force overtime, scoring 33 points in the final 17 minutes and 49 seconds.</p>

<p>However, the home team was playing with passion on Senior Night and iced the victory with a crucial stop on the two-point conversion attempt by Franklin Road Academy.</p>

<p>Antioch moves forward to their best start in school history at 8-0, while FRA drops to 6-1 on the season with all of their season goals very much still in play for the team.</p>

<p>The Adams brothers, Goliday, the coaching staff, and the rest of this team at Antioch looked to make a massive statement tonight that they compete and defeat anyone and win the state championship in Chattanooga, and if the game this evening was any indication, they are absolutely correct.</p>
