The Vidalia High
School Indians scored
two touchdowns in the
last 2 minutes of the first
half Friday in Baxley to
draw within one point
(14-13), but Appling
County outscored the In
dians 20-0 in the 2nd half
to win 34-13. The loss
dropped the Indians to
6-2 overall and 2-2 in
3AA with two games re
maining. The Indians
need at least one win in
the last two games to get
in the playoff hunt. They
host Pierce Co. Friday be
fore ending the regular
season in Lyons against
Toombs Co. on Novem
ber 4.
In Baxley on Friday
night, the outsized Indi
ans held the number
three ranked Pirates
scoreless in the first quar
ter, but a questionable
defensive holding call on
3rd and long set up a Jay-
len Johnson 11-yard run
to make the score 7-0
with 11:40 in the 2nd
quarter.
The Indians and the
Pirates went back and
forth the remainder of
the quarter, with the In
dian defense coming up
big on several occasions
to force Appling to punt.
However, the Vidalia of
fense had trouble gaining
ground, with several posi
tive plays called back for
penalties and several In
dian passes falling incom
plete after hitting receiv
ers’ hands.
Appling County
scored their next touch
down with 2:27 to go in
the half on a 3 5-yard run
by Jamarion Williams,
and Appling led 14-0 fol
lowing the PAT. But on
the ensuing kickoff, Ca
son Banks took it down
the left sideline 62-yards
to the Appling 15-yard
line. Two plays later, Vi
dalia got its first score, a
1-yard run by Antonio
Barron to make the score
14-7 after Adam Crutch
field’s PAT. The Indians
weren’t finished as the
defense came up with a
huge turnover, an inter
ception by Barron, giving
the ball back to the In
dian offense at their own
13-yard line. Two plays
later, Barron called his
own number and sprinted
89-yards, outracing de
fenders for another Indi
ans score, making it 14-
13, after a Pirate defender
blocked the PAT with
3-seconds remaining in
the half.
That was as close as
the Indians got, as Ap
pling went on a long 80-
yard 8:15 drive with Wil
liams taking it in from
7-yards to make the score
21-13 with 3:45 to go in
the 3rd quarter.
Williams scored his
3rd touchdown of the
game on a 1-yard run
with 9:54 to go in the
game to make it 27-13 af
ter a failed PAT. The Pi
rates added another score
with 5:54 to go in the
game when Johnson
broke several tackles and
pulled away from defend
ers, scampering 42-yards
for the night’s final score
to make it 34-13.
Pierce County will be
at Vidalia this week with
game time for Friday
night at 7:30 p.m. at Buck
Cravey Field.

On Thursday of last
week the Toombs
County High School
Bulldog Cross Country
teams completed their
regular season schedule
on a positive note. The
teams traveled to Hazle-
hurst to run in the Three
Rivers Classic, hosted by
Jeff Davis. Nearly every
runner on both teams set
personal records at this
meet. The weather was
the best they have run in,
and the participants re
ally responded well.
Girls
On the girl’s side,
Bryleigh Woods led the
way with a 23:19 (PR),
which was good enough
for 10th overall. Mareli
Luna ran a 23:29 (PR),
Noelia Nevarez ran a
25:55 (PR), Rebecca ran
a 27:33 (PR for this sea

Coach Jeremy Moore
said, “This was the best
day for us all season. We
had really favorable
weather, and the kids re
sponded very well. Al
most every runner hit a
PR, and the race before
the Region Meet is when
you want your runners
peaking. Hopefully, this
is a big momentum boost
for both groups as we get
ready for the region meet
next week. It’s going to
be tough for both groups
to break into the top four
to qualify for State, but I
am hoping today shows
them all what they are
capable of accomplish
ing next week at the re
gion meet.”
JV
In the JV race, sev
eral 8th graders were
able to come up and run,
in preparation for the
transition to 5Ks in high
school next year. The fu
ture looks bright for the
cross-country teams at
Toombs County High
School based on the re
sults from yesterday.
Deanna Gonzalez ran a
24:04, which was 2nd in
the JV girls race, and
Jisel Delgado ran a 29:51.
On the boy’s side,
Juan Luna, who just won
his 2nd individual state
MS title, ran an impres
sive 17:44 in the race,
which was 1st overall
among the JV runners,
and 5th overall among
the varsity runners. Just

Kight, who also ran a
very impressive 19:26,
which was 2nd in the JV
