Lowndes Defeats Warner Robins, Finishes Out Region Season Undefeated!

Brian Fazio, Valdosta Daily Times
The Lowndes Vikings closed out the regular season with a win, and finished the Region 1-AAAAA season undefeated Friday night.

Lowndes beat Warner Robins 23-6, thanks in large part to its defense, which held the Demons to 92 yards of total offense, scored nine points and put Lowndes in position for one of its two offensive touchdowns.

“Our defense played outstanding,” Lowndes head coach Randy McPherson said.

McPherson added that the Warner Robins defense played well also, and indeed it did. Warner Robins held Lowndes to 233 yards of total offense, and did not allow the Vikings to complete a pass. More importantly, the Demons did not allow the Vikings in the end zone, save for a short yardage situation and one big play.

The Vikings came up with its big play after the Demons had taken an early lead.

Warner Robins jumped ahead 6-0 just 1:54 into the game, thanks to the first of three Lowndes turnovers.

Turnovers have been a cause for concern for the Vikings all season, and the turnover bug reared its ugly head again Friday.

On the game’s first play from scrimmage, Lowndes quarterback Khary Franklin’s lateral missed its target. Warner Robins recovered on the Vikings’ 18-yard line.
