VINCENT – The Vincent Yellow Jackets are off to a 2-0 start with a remarkable win on Friday, Aug. 30, taking down the B.B. Comer Tigers, 21-18 in a matchup decided in the game’s final seconds.
“We have some character and resolve,” Vincent head coach Lucas Weatherford said. “We’re not going to give up when our backs are against the wall, we’re going to find our way out for a chance to win.”
The game got off to a slow start with the first quarter ending in a 0-0 tie.
The first score of the night came off a touchdown run from B.B. Comer receiver Richard Reed from 2 yards out to give the Tigers a 6-0 lead early in the second quarter.
The Yellow Jackets’ offense took no time to respond. They began at their own 33-yard line and marched all the way down the field before Aiden Gasaway finished the drive with a 4-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 6-6.
The two teams exchanged empty possessions for the majority of the second quarter, with little action happening until the waning minutes of the half.
