In the 38th meeting of their storied rivalry, the Toombs County Bulldogs delivered a commanding 51-6 win over the Vidalia Indians on Friday night at Booster Stadium. With this victory, Toombs County secured its fourth consecutive win over Vidalia, backed by a stellar performance from the Red Bullet Defense and an explosive offensive display.

The Bulldogs set the tone early, holding the Indians to three consecutive three-and-outs on their opening drives. Midway through the first quarter, Toombs struck first with a 7-play, 79-yard drive capped by an impressive 19-yard touchdown run by Alex Scott. Alex Otero’s successful extra point gave the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead with 4:53 remaining in the opening quarter.

After a brief exchange of turnovers, Senior Dabyn Wadley broke loose on a 46-yard sprint to the end zone, extending Toombs’ lead to 14-0 early in the second quarter. Senior quarterback TJ Stanley then took to the air, connecting with Senior Mike Polke on a 40-yard touchdown pass and later hitting Junior Gavin Fletcher for a 17-yard score. Toombs entered halftime with a commanding 28-0 lead.

The Bulldogs continued their momentum in the second half as Donterius Mincey returned the kickoff 80 yards to set up Otero’s 24-yard field goal, widening the lead to 31-0. Toombs added three more touchdowns in the final quarters, with Stanley scoring on a 3-yard run and Justin Powell punching in two more on runs of 9 and 3 yards.

The Bulldogs’ dominant 51-6 victory over Vidalia keeps their undefeated streak alive, improving them to 7-0 for the second consecutive season. Next up, the Bulldogs will face Savannah Christian at 7:30 PM on Friday. This game will prove to be a battle and we encourage our Bulldog faithful to make the trip to Pooler, arrive early, and stay loud throughout the entire game!
