Following the ensuing kick on the third play from scrimmage Jerryon Roundtree picked off a TJ Flemming pass at the Indian 28-yard line. On the very first play of the possession, Berry hit Justus Gabbard on a long 72-yard pass play, setting up the Indians at the Tattnall 6-yard line.
Three plays later, McLendon scored his second touchdown of the night on a 1-yard run giving the Indians a 29-0 lead, following another successful PAT from Crutchfield, who also had two kicks for touchbacks.
Yet again, the Indian smothering defense forced a Warrior three and out and forced yet another punt. The Indians then went on a 9-play five-minute drive, leading to a Jackson Berry 27-yard touchdown pass to Germanick Durham, giving the Indians a 36-0 lead, which they carried into the half.
The second half was quickly played under a running clock, but the Indians were able to put together a 6:07 nine play drive which was capped by AJ McLendon’s 3rd touchdown of the night, a 23-yard run to give the Indians a 43-0 lead.
Tattnall County got a late score from Cam Davis on an 8-yard run to make the final score 43-6.
Following the game, Vidalia Head Coach Rodney Garvin said he was pleased by the way his team “got after it” from the opening kick. “Our guys played hard from start to finish tonight and I am so proud of that. We can take nothing but positives out of tonight’s performance.”
Garvin also tipped his hat the large Vidalia fan base, “I am so proud of our fans and the way that they have showed up and supported our players the past two weeks. The atmosphere has been nothing short of great!”
The Indians will hit the road the next two weeks, before getting to the halfway point in the season. This week the Indians will travel to Nahunta to take on Brantley County at 7:30 p.m.
