In a month long contest sponsored by the
Macon Telegraph to name an All Decade Football team, some former Devils were recognized.
Charles Johnson, currently with the Carolina
Panthers, was named by the voters as one of the defensive ends to the squad. He received 28% of the
fan votes. The Telegraph also named a squad of its own picking and four
former Devils were recognized. Johnson was joined on that team by former offensive lineman Trey Dunmon and safety LaFallis Anderson and
defensive lineman Brandon Perry. Dunmon finished his career with the Georgia Southern Eagles
after the 2009 season. Anderson holds the school record in both career and
single season interceptions. Anderson helped lead the Devils to the 2003 state championship with 12 interceptions.
Congrats to all the current and former
