Hoke County Handles Cavaliers 31-7 in Sandhills 3A/4A Action

After the Southern Lee Defense collected an interception by Senior Jaylyn Scruggs and turned away Hoke County on 4^th down twice in Cavalier territory in the first half, it was the Cavalier offense that put the visitors on top at halftime at Raeford.

Trailing 3-0 after a 31-yard field goal by the Buck’s Ryan Ramirez, Southern Lee used an 11-play 80-yard drive culminating in a 12-yard run by Junior Tyrice Douglas to lead at halftime, 7-3. But the Cavs couldn’t find the endzone again on the night, as they fall to Hoke County, 31-7.

Douglas finished the night with 123 yards on 22 carries for Southern Lee, including the 2^nd quarter touchdown run. Despite not being able to score points, the Cavs did convert 5 of 11 tries on 3^rd down.

Southern Lee (0-4, 1-7) is off next week, but return to action at home to face the Vikings of Union Pines (0-3, 2-5) at Cavalier Stadium.
