Generals Open the Backyard

The Lee Generals (1-1) opened the new Backyard tonight against the Ponte Vedra Sharks (2-0). Many compliments were made on the new facilities, but the compliments didn't stop there. The Generals, though oversized by the Sharks players, played with a lot of heart and determination.

With the Sharks jumping out to a 21-0 lead the Generals didn't quit. Senior Zaraphon Only answered the Sharks by scoring the Generals first touchdown on the newly renovated field making it 21-7. The defense was able to come up with a pick on the following drive, but a fumble gave Ponte Vedra the ball back just before half.

Though the Generals played tough and used their speed, they were plagued by turnovers. The Sharks were able to capitalize on the turnovers running the score up to 41-7. The Generals weren't done yet though, as Running Back Jacori Lowery added a touchdown late in the 4th quarter making it 41-13, for the final score of the game.

The Generals next take on the Forrest Rebels (0-2) next Friday, September 13 at Forrest.
