CLEVELAND - Threes were wild for the White County football team Friday night.

The Warriors gained 333 yards in a 33-0 win over East Hall while Ashely Lowery rushed for three touchdowns.

While the offense was doing its job the defense was showing it will be a force in Region 7-AAA. The Warriors held East Hall (0-2) to just 86 total yards.

The win for White County (2-0) sets up an early-season showdown with Class AAA No. 2 Gainesville next week in Cleveland.

"I thought we played much better offensively this week and the defense was outstanding again," White County coach Greg Segraves said. "We needed a game like this heading into the Gainesville game."

Two White County quarterbacks were a combined 8-of-17 passing for 118 yards while the ground game churned out 215 yards.

Mark Bardenwerper kicked two field goals of 46 and 27 yards for White County.

History is not the Warriors' side, however, in the series against Gainesville. The Red Elephants are 10-1 all-time against White County and have won seven straight. The only White County win was a 16-14 victory in 1997.
