Vidalia Junior High goes unbeaten
Vidalia's junior high football season put an exclamation point on an undefeated season Thursday night, dominating Caldwell 34-6 to win the Tri-Parish League Championship.
"We were hoping to have a good year, but weren't really expecting an undefeated season," said Vidalia Junior High head coach Bruce Pickle. "We didn't know what all the other teams had."
Vidalia posted two wins over Franklin Parish and beat Winnfield Junior High in Winnfield.
"Our guys played up to their ability," Pickle said. "The Franklin and Winnfield games we knew would be tough. I was very proud of the way they played."
Pickle had 22 eighth-graders.
"And they all played together," he said. "It was a very fun team to coach. They practiced hard and didn't care who got the credit. They wanted to block for each other and they carried out their assignments."
Eighth-grader Jonterrius Townsend rushed for more than 500 yards and had 15 touchdowns.
"J.T. can be as good as he wants to be," Pickle said. "He had good ability and loves football..He should contribute for the varsity next year, along with some others who will be freshmen."
Pickle led Vidalia's junior high boys team to a 27-0 record last year and the current VJH boys basketball team is 6-0. |
