The No. 1-ranked Toombs County Bulldogs delivered a complete performance Friday night at “The Reservation,” defeating the Vidalia Indians 44-6 for their sixth consecutive victory in the rivalry.

Toombs County controlled the game in all three phases and improved to 2-0 on the 2026 season. Seniors Brandon Stevens, Donterrius Mincey, Joseph Owens and Alex Scott turned in outstanding performances, while the Red Bullet defense held Vidalia to three first downs and fewer than 100 yards of total offense.

Senior placekicker Alex Otero opened the scoring with a 20-yard field goal in the first quarter, giving the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead.

Toombs County began to pull away in the second quarter behind Mincey. The senior running back scored twice during the period before junior Zay Walton added a three-yard touchdown run with 1:17 remaining in the half. The Bulldogs carried a 24-0 advantage into the locker room.

Mincey added two more rushing touchdowns in the third quarter, completing a four-touchdown night and putting the rivalry matchup out of reach.

The fourth quarter was played with a running clock. Sophomore Jordan McNeil capped the scoring with a three-yard touchdown run as Toombs County closed out the 44-6 victory.

The Bulldogs are now 2-0 and have won six straight meetings with Vidalia. They will travel to face the No. 5-ranked Swainsboro Tigers (AA) next Friday at Swainsboro High School. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
