Lee County Beats Southern Lee in Season Finale 37-8
The Lee County Yellow Jackets won the 20th Annual Brick City Bowl Friday at Paul Gay Stadium in Sanford with a convincing 37-8 victory over Southern Lee. Lee County led 7-0 after the first quarter after a 71-yard TD run by Zach Williams and used a 23-point 2nd quarter to build a commanding lead of 30-0 at the half. The Yellow Jackets would use a balanced attack to roll up 397 yards of total offense while holding the Cavaliers to 180 yards.
Jaysiyah Collins would intercept two Cavalier passes in the first half to help keep the Cavaliers off the scoreboard and injuries slowed the Cavaliers throughout the game. Cavalier QB Caleb Coro would leave the game in the first half, and the Cavaliers would QB by committee from that point forward.
Zach Williamas would lead the Yellow Jackets with 142 yards rushing on only 6 carries and Reed Douglas would go 7 of 12 passing for 168 yards and 2 TDs.
Lee County would win the Brick City Bowl for the 14th time in the 20 meetings between the two schools.
