Vikings Stumble Against Demons in 16-6 Loss

Lowndes started off their night on their own 20 after a touchback on the opening kickoff. Darriett Perry’s key first down dash on 3rd-and-10 (and five other Perry runs) helped the Vikings drive down to the Demon 19. Matt Rowland booted a 36-yard field goal for Lowndes’ first score of the night.

Rowland then kicked off to the five-yard line, but the Warner Robins kick returner found several gaps and took the ball 95 yards to the endzone. The PAT was good, giving the Demons a 7-3 lead.

The Viking offense drove deep into Robins territory, but fumbled on the 15-yard line. However, thanks to the LHS defense, the Demons couldn’t capitalize.

After a punt return during the second quarter, Warner Robins started out on the LHS 48. The Demons took seven plays to drive down the 23-yard line, and then kicker David Clark made a 40-yard FG to set the score at 10-3.

Lowndes mounted one final drive in the first half to put on points on the board. Greg Reid provided a major play with a 27-yard sprint to the eight. Rowland capped off the drive with a 22-yard field goal. The Vikings entered the locker room down 10-6, but after playing solid football, racking up 193 yards of offense.
