Union Pines Beats Yellow Jackets 49-14 in Carolina Pines 6A Action

The Union Pines Vikings busted open a tight game in the 3^rd quarter and went on to stay unbeaten in league play and wrap up a #1 seed from the conference in the upcoming playoffs.  The Vikings and Lee County battled through the opening 2 quarters with the Vikings leading 21-14 and driving for another score midway through the 2^nd quarter.   But Dillon Jones intercepted a pass near the goal line that he returned to midfield and set up the Jackets with a chance to tie the game just before the half.   The Yellow Jackets could do no better than a 3-and-out, and left time for the Vikings to score just before the half and lead 28-14.  

The Vikings would dominate the 2^nd half with three 3^rd quarter scores for the final margin and improve the 6-0 in league play.   Lee County would drop to 1-5 and will host Southern Lee next Friday night at home in the annual Brick City Bowl. 

Zach Williamas would lead the Yellow Jackets with 111 yards rushing on 14 carries and his 62-yard run in the 1^st half would lead to a Lee County score. 

The Vikings would roll up 398 yards of total offense to 212 for Lee County and running of Viking RB Adrian Colon -148 yards on 19 carries – would lead the way.
