On Friday night, the
#4 Ranked Toombs
County Bulldogs hosted
the Windsor Forest
Knights in a Region 3AA
contest in The Pit. It was
all Toombs as they rolled
over the Knights, 48-0.
The Red Bullet defense
of the Bulldogs was the
story as they held Wind
sor to -2 total yards in
the game, while the
TCHS offense racked up
318 yards.
Toombs took the ball
on the opening kickoff,
starting from their own
24-yard line. Two plays
later Dabyn Wadley
scooted 63-yards for a
Bulldog touchdown just
45 seconds into the
game. Braylen Dietrich
connected on the point
after to give the Dogs a
7-0 lead.
The “Red Bullet” de
fense held the Knights
on their first possession
on a 4th down on their
own 30-yard line. Just,
three plays later, QB TJ
Stanley hit pay dirt to
give the Dogs a 14-0 lead
with 8:34 left in the first
quarter.
On the ensuing drive
by the Knights, the “Red
Bullets” blocked a punt
giving the Bulldogs the
ball on the Knight’s
4-yard line. Seconds
later, Freshman Alex
Scott punched his name
in the scoring line with a
3-yard touchdown run
that put the Dogs up
21-0 with 6:51 in the
first.
After a Knight punt,
the Dogs quickly struck
again when Stanley hit
Junior WR LaGonza
Heyward on a 59-yard
touchdown pass, push
ing the score to 28-0,
with 5:19 left in the first.
The Dogs again got the
ball back but failed to
convert on a 3rd down
play. Dietrich answered
by kicking a 40-yard field
goal, extending the lead
to 31-0 in the first quar
ter.

On the Knights first
play on the following
drive, Alex Scott knocked
the ball loose and Wad-
ley scooped and scored
for the Bulldogs making
the score 38-0 at the end
of the first quarter.
The Bulldogs started
rotating starters out in
the second quarter, while
adding another Stanley
touchdown run before
the half, and then an
other Dietrich field goal
in the second half with a
running clock, to cap the
scoring with the Dogs on
top 48-0.
