Vidalia Indians Dominate Beach
Courtesy of VHS
The Vidalia High
School Indian offense
scored on every posses
sion, and the defense
held Beach of Savannah
to just 74 total yards as
they rolled over the Bull
dogs 61-0 Friday night at
Buck Cravey Field. With
the win, the Indians
moved to 1-1 on the
young season, giving
Rodney Garvin his first
win as Vidalia’s head
coach. “A cord of three
strands is not easily bro
ken,” said Garvin. “The
kids banded together Fri
day night and decided to
get it done. Physically
and mentally strong as
one. We took a step in
the right direction Fri
day. Friday was a great
day.” Garvin concluded.
The Indians racked
up 420 yards of offense,
with 349 coming on the
ground. Antonio Barron
led the way with 96
yards, a touchdown on
the ground, another 28
yards receiving, and a
touchdown for 128 total
yards. Sophomore Wen
dell Simpson added 89
yards on two carries, in
cluding an 85-yard
touchdown, and Jamar-
ion Phillips scored two
touchdowns with 52
yards rushing.
On the defensive
side of the ball, the Indi
ans did not allow Beach a
first down until the 4th
quarter with 11:00 min
utes left in the game, and
that came on a 15-yard
penalty on the defense.
The Indians swarmed
and contained the Bull
dogs all night, not allow
ing the Beach offense to
cross mid-field until the
first down in the 4th.
Phillips got the scor
ing started on a five-yard
run on the opening drive,
which accounted for 65
yards on nine plays and
was kept alive on a tre
mendous throw by Jack-
son Berry and an even
better catch by Carson
Ricks on a 4th and 18
play from the Beach 36-
yard line. Following the
PAT by Adam Crutch
field, the Indians led 7-0
with 8:13 to go in the
opening quarter.

Carson Ricks follows his blockers for a big gain as Vidalia hosted Beach last Friday.
Two minutes and
nine seconds later, Jack-
son Berry put the Indi
ans up 13-0 on a 2-yard
plunge, and with the
PAT, it was 14-0 with
6:04 to go in the quarter.
The Indians got their
3rd score of the quarter
with 1:57 to go when, on
4th and 19, Berry hit
Barron on a 28-yard
wheel route to make the
score 21-0 after Crutch
field’s PAT.
For all practical pur
poses, the game was on
ice from that point on, as
the Indian defense re
fused to allow the Beach
offense to move. The de
fense was aided by the
kicking game of Lake
Wright and the overage
team, which kept the
Bulldogs pinned deep in
their territory all night.
Jamarion Phillips got
his second score of the
night on the first posses
sion of the second quar
ter, on a 2-yard run to
cap a 9-play 50-yard
drive to make it 28-0 fol
lowing a Lake Wright
PAT.
Antonio Barron was
the next to score for the
Indians to make it 34-0.
This time, it was on the
ground from 6 yards out,
following a 40-yard
scamper by the senior to
set up the score.
Alston Boles, who
ended the night with 36
yards, got the final score
of the half on a 23-yard
sprint to close out the
half at 41-0.
The remainder of the
game was played with a
running clock, but the
Indians were able to get
three more scores, in
cluding a 10-yard run
from Deante Terrell, a
6-yard run by DJ Wal
lace, and Simpson’s 85-
yard sprint.
The 61 points by the
Indians was the most by
a Vidalia team in 20 years
when the Indians scored
63 against Bryan County
in 2003. It was also just
the 3rd time in school
history a Vidalia team
has put up 60 or more
points. The other was in
2002 when Vidalia beat
Bleckley Co. 60-6.
The Indians will next
face Pinewood next Fri
day night in Bellville. It
will be just the second
time a Vidalia team has
faced the Patriots and
the first on the road. The
Indians defeated the Pa
triots 56-16 at Buck
Cravey Field last year.
Game time is set for 7:30
p.m.
