’Cats end year with win

Valdosta defeats Houston, 17-0

By Christian Malone

In the first half, the teams battled to a scoreless tie. Each team had the ball in opposing territory at some point in the half, but could not put points on the board. Houston drove inside the Valdosta 30 on their first two possessions, but both times, the Wildcat defense drove the Bears back and forced them to punt. Valdosta had the ball inside the Houston 40 on its last two drives of the half, but couldn’t manage any points.

But in the second half, the Wildcats found their offense, and walked away with the victory.

For Valdosta, Rowe completed 12-of-17 passes for 113 yards. Johnson, another senior, rushed for 89 yards on 14 carries, while Kier gained 73 yards on eight carries. The Wildcats rushed for 202 yards in the win, while their defense held Houston to just four yards rushing in the second half.
