ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia receiver Kris Durham and snapper Ty Frix returned to their stomping grounds last Friday night, and they had company.
Durham and Frix are Calhoun High alumni and watched the Yellow Jackets advance in the Class AA playoffs with a 36-19 win over Westminster. Joining them were several Bulldogs teammates, including quarterback Aaron Murray, receiver Tavarres King and inside linebacker Christian Robinson.
“They enjoyed being in the big city,” Durham said.
When asked how Calhoun fans reacted to Murray’s appearance, Durham said, “People had to do a double-take, because they realize that sometimes I’m going to bring some of my teammates. One year I brought Matthew [Stafford] with me, and that caused a little stir. We would be walking down the aisle, and I’d turn around and everybody would be sitting there staring at Matthew.”
The traveling Bulldogs watched two sets of Yellow Jackets during their weekend off. They also attended Georgia Tech’s 30-20 win over Duke in Atlanta on Saturday afternoon.
