A game that was billed by many to be a classic Big South shootout turned out to be anything but. South Point set the tone in the first quarter and the Red Raiders were unstoppable. South Point usually does their dirty work on the ground, but it was a big passing play by quarterback Scottie Lee that got the offense going. Lee connected with Ray Grier for a 66-yard touchdown pass. Thomas Lempereur’s extra point kick was good.
Forestview would contribute to their own demise on the ensuing kickoff. Jared Carter fumbled the ball near the Forestview 30-yard line. Two plays later, Jake Alexander ran it in from the five-yard line. Lempereur’s extra point kick gave South Point an early 14-0 lead. The second quarter wasn’t much kinder to Forestview. Lee called his own number and took it in for a 14-yard touchdown run. Lempereur would kick a 29-yard field goal to give South Point a 24-0 half-time lead.
The second half was more of the same. Ty Tinker gave South Point a 31-0 lead with a 30-yard touchdown run. The Jaguars were able to avoid the shutout with a 33-yard field goal by Holt Cloninger. But the night belonged to South Point. Jake Alexander put another touchdown on the board for the Red Raiders with a nine-yard touchdown run. Scottie Lee closed it out with a three-yard touchdown run. Kicker Lempereur was 6-for-6 on extra points.
"It got away from us. That happens sometimes." said Forestview head coach Chris Medlin "They're a good team. They played well. We didn't play well. They're close to being 7-1 instead of whatever they are (4-4)."
"Big, physical football game. Our bunch has had some adversity this year. We've gone through some hard times." said South Point head coach Mickey Lineberger "We had to almost totally rebuild our offense. We had one starter coming back. You can't rush that. You have to get reps at fullback and reps at quarterback. They have to learn to play together and we're steadily getting better. We're geting some people healthy. We're getting some people back. I'm real pleased at how we responded and how we competed."
"They have a great football team. We just came out here and imposed our will. We made a lot of good things happen. We had a great game plan. Our coaches just do a great job offensively and defensively. Our kids executed the game plan to perfection. We're playing like we got a chip on our shoulder right now because we got something to prove. We gave one away against Hunter Huss right here on this same field."
South Point (4-4)(3-1) will travel to take on Lake Norman Charter. Forestview (5-3)(3-1) will host Ashbrook.
