Vikings hammer Houston County, winning 33-7
By Bryan Fazio
Perry scored the Vikings’ final touchdown of the night on a 40-yard run, 31 seconds into the second half.
The senior wingback had his third straight 100-yard rushing performance, gaining 116 yards on six carries. Currently Perry stands just one yard away from Lynn Williams’ all-time career rushing record at Lowndes.
The Vikings moved the ball in the air, as well as on the ground, passing for 113 yards, a season high.
“We just made plays,” McPherson said. “I thought we moved the ball well.”
While Lowndes moved the ball well, the Bears could not move it much at all. The Bears picked up just one first down in the first half, and totaled just five in the game. Houston County tallied just 105 yards of total offense, with 50 yards coming on two pass plays.
One of those pass plays was a 30-yard reception by Craig Pressley from Thompson for the Bears’ lone touchdown against the Vikings’ second-team defense.
“I’m real proud of our kids,” McPherson said. “They came up here and won a region game.”
Lowndes has a bye date this week on their schedule, before hosting cross-town rival Valdosta on Oct. 20.
