Birmingham Detroit Country Day received the second half kickoff ahead 13-0, and had a chance to go up big. On the first play from scrimmage, tailback Jonas Gray danced around, then went backwards trying to find a seam.

He lost 10 yards on the play, effectively killing the drive. Visiting Detroit Douglass got the ball with decent field position, drove 62 yards and cut the lead to 13-8.

"I was trying to do too much," Gray said.

But his teammates didn't say much to him after he returned to the sideline.

"Because I've done it before and I made big plays out of it," Gray said.

He eventually made the big plays Saturday, as Country Day held on to win, 28-20,in a Division 4 first-round playoff game.

Gray's 49-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter gave his team a 21-8 lead and his 95-yard touchdown run late made it 28-20. In both, he went untouched on sweeps to the right side.

On the afternoon, he rushed for 223 yards and three scores on 21 carries.

Country Day (8-2) will play the winner of the Detroit Crockett and Pontiac Notre Dame Prep game, which ended late Saturday night, in the next round.

The Yellowjackets scored early when quarterback Stefan Ede hit Patrick Leary for a 16-yard touchdown and extended their lead after Gray punched in a 2-yarder in the second quarter.

The Hurricanes, which improved from 0-9 last fall to 6-4 this year, chipped into Country Day's lead after Eddie Hogan ran one in from 14 yards on the third quarter drive after Gray's gaffe.

After Gray's second touchdown, Hogan scored again, this time seven yards. Hogan took over primary ballcarrier duties in the third quarter after starter Joseph Edmounds twisted an ankle, and finished with 82 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries.

"He played big for us," Douglass coach Andre Harlan said. "He's normally a fullback. Today he had to play tailback and did a hell of a job."

Detroit Country Day 7, Detroit Crockett 0

Barely survived, but a win is a win. right?

Future Irish running back Jonas Gray carried 16 times for 122 yards, half coming on his first touch, a 62-yard gain, and scored the game's only touchdown as Detroit Country Day topped Crockett (Detroit) 7-0, writes the Detroit Free Press.
Gray did not sound entirely satisfied after the contest, "16 carries for 122 yards - that's a good day. I don't think it was so much them doing a good job, it was more offensive production. We had some missed assignments."

Get used to it Jonus. You are coming to the land of missed assignments next year.

The guy had 122 on 16 carries, and then he threw his offensive line under the bus by complaining about missed assignments? That seems kind of odd.
