"We could not stop their passing attack," Carrollton coach Rayvan Teague said. "The Bowman kid is a mismatch on whoever you try to play him with."

"I played a big role because they thought it was going to be a running game like usual," said Bowman, who has committed to Alabama. "But we stepped up and threw the ball and then won the game."

"This is a big night for the program," Ridgeland coach Mark Mariakas said. "This is the biggest game we've ever played and the first time in football they've had a championship."
