Eastern Randolph Shuts Down Cavaliers 22-0

The Southern Lee Cavaliers came into Friday’s week three game after an unexpected week off last week. After an opening drive resulted in a blocked 45-yard Bryan McCollum field goal, it all went downhill from there as the Cavaliers fall to Eastern Randolph 22-0, at Cletis B. Gore Stadium.  

The Wildcats downed the blocked field goal at their own 5-yard line, then went 95 yards in nine plays to go up 8-0. The Cavaliers struggled all night controlling the Wildcats run game that saw Eastern Randolph amass 169 yards against an eventual tired Southern Lee defense.  

On the offensive side of the ball, Southern Lee struggled with only one first down in the second half and were only able to muster 121 yards on the night. Fourteen penalties on the night, some questionable, did not help the Cavalier cause either on this night.  

Senior Defensive Back Brett Blanks stopped an Eastern Randolph drive with an interception at the Cavalier three-yard line and ran it back to the 40. However, the Cavs got down to the eastern Randolph 18 before turning to it over on downs.  

Southern lee (1-1) travels to Fairmont next week to wrap up non-conference play.
