Lowndes Opens Region Season with 51-0 Colquitt Co. Shutout
Brian Fazio, Valdosta Daily Times
The state’s No. 1 ranked team in Class AAAAA took its first step toward a possible second-consecutive Region 1-AAAAA crown Friday night in impressive fashion.

For the Vikings, it was a step which carried on for 383 yards of total offense, leading to a 51-0 victory against Colquitt County.

Colquitt County and its heralded coach Rush Probst came in to Martin Stadium as a gun-slinging team, relying on the pass first to move the ball.

The Vikings defense stymied the Packers’ (1-3, 0-1 in Region 1-AAAAA) passing game, as Colquitt County threw for just 57 yards in the first half and 18 in the second.

It was a thoroughly dominating performance by the Vikings (4-0, 1-0), as big defensive plays led to scores in the first half, special teams picked up its play in the second and the junior varsity team performed well in the game’s closing quarter.

“It’s a great way to start out,” Lowndes Coach Randy McPherson said. “I’m just so proud of the players. Our coaches had them ready to go, and the game plan worked great.”
