Valdosta on a roll for Winnersville

MOULTRIE — Valdosta made sure Friday’s Winnersville Classic meeting with Lowndes will have plenty of luster.

The Wildcats will take a perfect Region 1-AAAAA record into Friday’s annual meeting with the Vikings after their 20-0 victory over Warner Robins on Saturday at McConnell-Talbert Stadium.

Valdosta is 6-1 overall and 3-0 in the Region 1-AAAAA standings as it prepares to meet Lowndes at Martin Stadium on Friday in what will be one of the top matchups in the state this week.

Lowndes, 5-1 overall and 2-0 in the region, was off last week, giving the Vikings extra time to prepare for the Wildcats, who have won four in a row since its only loss, a surprising 37-6 defeat at Brookwood.

Valdosta has a short week to prepare to the Vikings, but if the Wildcats play defense like they did against Warner Robins, that should not be a problem.

The memory of last year’s 1-9 record is a dim one for the Wildcats and their fans after the dominating effort against the Demons.

Warner Robins, now 2-4 overall and 1-1 in the region, rushed for just 31 yards on 35 carries against the Wildcats defense.

The Wildcats were not overwhelming offensively and led just 7-0 at the half, courtesy of a 30-yard David Arnold touchdown run.

Arnold added another touchdown in the second half and linebacker Curtis Weatherspoon closed out the scoring with a 35-yard interception return for a touchdown.

Coffee continues its impressive rebound from a region-opening 42-13 loss to Lowndes.

One week after taking down Colquitt County 35-7, the Trojans (6-1, 2-1) humbled defending region champion Tift County 31-14.

The loss was the third in a row for the Blue Devils (3-3, 0-2) and ended a 15-game home winning streak. Two Tift County starters had to be taken from the field on stretchers.

Coffee rolled up 259 yards offense in the first half and led 24-0 at the break. The Trojans finished with 401 yards of offense: 266 on the ground and 135 through the air.

Coffee scored its first touchdown on a 7-yard run by quarterback Burke Batten. On their next possession, the Trojans scored on a 60-yard pass from Batten to Rod Jones.

A 30-yard field goal by Ethan Nettles put the Trojans up 17-0 with 8:08 left in the second quarter.
