by John Madewell The Ridgeland High Panthers football team is going where its never been before.This afternoon, the school sent them off with a rousing pep rally.The Panthers are playing for the state championship tomorrow in the Georgia Dome -- this is the first time the Panthers have made it this far.Community members dropped by the school to pick up tickets for the game. Panther players say they feed off this energy. Star senior fullback Darrell Bridges explained, "That means a lot because we know just about everyone in these stands. To look up there and see them cheer once we make a big run, a big TD, a big hit, it always feels comforting to know that we're doing something for the community and everybody's proud of us," Bridges said.Ridgeland plays Sandy Creek High School at 5:30 Saturday evening. Calhoun plays Jefferson High the game before at 2:30.Depend on NewsChannel 9 Sports to bring coverage of both.
