Sweet Water throttles McIntosh for Region 1 win
Bulldogs Willie Lewis (57) and Deshawn Blanks (52) put heavy pressure on the Demon punter in first half action.
Sweet Water handled its business early Friday night, putting McIntosh squarely in the rearview mirror by halftime en route to a 48-0 Class 1A, Region 1 win.
Jacory Brown scored on a 6-yard run in the first quarter before Jaylon Williamson punched it in from a yard out on the final play of the frame for a 14-0 lead.
DB Trent Sams (1) races down the sideline after intercepting an errant McIntosh pass.
The second quarter turned into the Shamar Lewis show. The senior turned a Jonah Smith pass into a 64-yard touchdown to move it to 21-0. Lewis then ran for a 27-yard score. After Jonah Smith hit Sasha Smith for a 6-yard touchdown, Lewis got into the act on defense when he intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown.
Sweet Water added to the 41-0 halftime lead in the third when Jonah Smith threw to Braylone Kidd for a 56-yard touchdown.
The Bulldogs managed 326 yards of total offense on the night while allowing 61 to McIntosh.
Jonah Smith was 4-for-4 passing for 142 yards and three touchdowns. Lewis had 96 rushing yard and a TD on seven carries.
Trent Sams intercepted two passes while Lewis, Braiden Broussard and Antonio Sullivan each picked off one.
Sweet Water (5-1, 5-0) can clinch the Region 1 championship next Friday night when it hosts Millry.
