Scots Run Past Cavaliers 63-34 in Sandhills 3A/4A Play

Despite gaining 330 yards in total offense and scoring 34 points at Scotland County, it was the inability of the Southern Lee Cavaliers to stop a potent Fighting Scot running game that led to a 63-34 loss in Laurinburg. The Cav defense couldn’t find an answer to stop the speedy ground game of the Scots in allowing 449 yards rushing on the night.

After two Southern Lee turnovers resulted in a 14-0 first quarter deficit, the Cavs gave up a third rushing touchdown 3 seconds into the second quarter and a 21-0 Scotland lead. However, the Cavalier offense began to move the ball consistently in the 2^nd behind the passing of Sophomore Quarterback Robbie Sims, and strong running again by Junior Tyrice Douglas and Senior Anthony Robinson. The teams combined for seven 2^nd quarter touchdowns, one a perfectly placed 44-yard pass from Sims to Sophomore Brett Tate-Blanks, that closed the gap at the time to 35-20. Robinson’s 52-yard interception return to the Scotland 8-yard line led to a score, and Junior Defensive Back Jalen Scruggs added an interception to stop a Scot scoring drive.

Two quick 3^rd quarter scores by Scotland County put the game out of reach for the Cavaliers despite Southern Lee putting up two more touchdowns in the third quarter. The Scots finished the night with 609 total yards.

Southern Lee (0-2, 1-5) returns to Cavalier Stadium next week to face 4A Pinecrest (1-0, 3-2).
