The Dodge County Indians (2-3) traveled to Brooklet this past Friday night to play the Southeast Bulloch Yellow Jackets (1-5) in a regular season region game. The Indians looked to improve their overall record, but more importantly, looked to improve their region wins in the 3AA region.

The Indians first score of the game came with minutes of the game when D’Eric McNair (#11) led the Indians into Jacket territory to the 9-yard line. McNair carried the ball 9-yards into the end zone for a Dodge County touchdown. The extra point attempt by Walt Turner (#86) was good.

With one minute remaining in the first quarter, McNair threw a 15-yard pass to Javier Spencer (#12) who ran into the end zone for a touchdown. The extra point attempt by Turner was good and Dodge County lead the ball game 14-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Second quarter of play began and the Yellow Jackets did not get any momentum going as the defensive linemen for the Indians stopped the drive and forced a punt. The Indians gained control of the ball and quickly moved down field to the 21-yard line of Southeast Bulloch. Cole Honeycutt (#16) threw a 21-yard pass to Leonard Floyd (#83) and Floyd scored a touchdown with nine minutes seventeen seconds of play left in the second quarter. The extra point attempt by Turner was good and the Indians lead by a score of 21-0.

The Yellow Jackets began their third drive down field but were met by the strong defensive line of the Indians. The Jackets used up the remaining time on the score clock and at the end of second quarter action, the score was Dodge 21, Southeast Bulloch 0.
