Only one team in Cedar Bluff’s football history had ever advanced to the Class 1A state semifinals. That came in 2006, and that team finished as state runner-up.

The players on the current Tiger team were just young tykes then, but on Friday night at sixth-ranked Wadley, they added their own chapter to Cedar Bluff’s storied tradition.

Sophomore receiver Isaiha Jones snagged the game-winning 19-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Josh Decker in the corner of the end zone with 4.1 seconds remaining, propelling the fourth-ranked Tigers to a 34-27 victory. It was Jones’ only catch of the game.

WEIS Radio’s Nolen Sanford & Shane McElwee had the call –

Decker provided the final scoring margin with his 2-point conversion run up the middle. He finished the game completing 11-of-23 pass attempts for 122 yards and two touchdowns.

The win will now setup a semi-final matchup between Cedar Bluff (12-1) and eighth-ranked Decatur Heritage (12-1), that game will be played at LD Bruce Field and will be broadcast live on WEIS Radio with the pregame at 6:00 at the kickoff at 7:00.

You can listen to that game live on 100.5 FM, 990 AM, live stream at weisradio.com or on the WEIS Radio App.
