TOCCOA, Ga. - Stephens County took control of all three phases Friday night as they defeated White County, 53-14, Friday night.
The Indians jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead before White County answered on a Caysen Duvall 95-yard kickoff return to cut the lead in half. From there, however, Stephens County scored 30 straight points on three short touchdown runs from Javin Gordon, a 50-yard pitch and catch and a safety that gave the Indians a 44-7 lead.
White County got on the board again with a Tripp Nix 5-yard rush into the endzone, but the Indians scored on a 33-yard touchdown pass and another safety to earn the win.
The Warriors have a bye week next week before opening region play in two weeks at home against Dawson County.
