Toombs County Falls To The Swainsboro Tigers

It was a tough night in Swainsboro for the Toombs County High School Bulldogs football team last Friday night as they took on the #10 ranked Tigers. In the first quarter of the game the Bulldogs fell behind as Swainsboro found the end zone once to take a 7-0 lead. They added to that lead in the second quarter with two more touchdowns, missing the extra point on one, but Swainsboro took a 20-0 lead into halftime.

On Swainsboro's first possession of the second half they broke a big play for a touchdown to push their lead to 26-0 with 8:49 left in the third quarter.

On Toombs' next series Gavin Hall hit Lagonza Hayward for a 60-yard touchdown pass. Jesus Mata tacked on the extra point to close the lead to 26-7.

Swainsboro added one more touchdown in the third quarter of the game as they went ahead 33-7 on the Bulldogs.

Toombs was not able to score again, but they also kept the Tigers from putting any more points on the board. Toombs fell 33-7 as their record falls to 4-5 on the year and they are 2-2 in Region play. Toombs is currently sitting in third place in the Region.
