The Dodge County High School Indian football team defeated the Savannah High School Blue Jackets with a massive 52 points against the Blue Jackets’ mere six.
The first quarter proved to be full of neck-and-neck competition until there were only 5:27 left on the clock, when quarterback Clint Thompson passed the ball to A.J. Lampkin, who scored the game’s first touchdown. Peyton Bush followed Lampkin’s touchdown with a successful kick, making the score 7-0 in favor of the Indians.

Dodge County Indians decimate Savannah High School
With only 19 seconds left in the first quarter, Cameron Young managed to run the ball for 11 yards and score a second touchdown for Dodge. Again, Bush tried for another point and succeeded, and the score became 14-0.
The second quarter saw the most scoring action. Scoring first in this quarter was Lampkin, who received the ball from Thompson and scored his second touchdown, Dodge’s third overall, with 9:39 left on the clock. Bush added another point after touchdown (PAT) with a successful kick for a score of 21-0.
With 5:22 left in the quarter, Cameron Coleman ran the ball for nine yards, scoring another touchdown followed by Bush’s successful kick for another PAT. The score became 28-0.
Although the Blue Jackets had possession of the ball, a pass intended for another Savannah player was intercepted by Dodge County’s own Anthony Woods, who was able to score a touchdown with 4:19 left on the clock. Bush again gained the team another point with his kick, making the score 35-0.
As the first half was winding down, Dodge called a time-out so that Bush could attempt a 43-yard field goal with only one second left in the quarter. Bush’s kick was good, allowing the score to increase to 38-0.
After halftime, the only successful action in terms of scoring happened in the third quarter.
Coleman punted the ball to the Blue Jackets, and the Blue Jackets scored a touchdown with 9:58 left on the clock. Savannah’s attempt at a two-point conversion was unsuccessful, however, so the score was 38-6.
The Indians soon changed this as Cameron Young intercepted a Blue Jackets pass and scored a touchdown for Dodge, resulting in a 44-6 score. Bush’s kick was good, making the score 45-6.
Dodge’s final score-achieving move occurred with 1:50 left in the third quarter, as R.J. Carr ran the ball for 31-yards and scored the team’s last touchdown. Similarly, Bush’s last move for the team was successful, as his PAT made the score 52-6.
Dodge dominated Savannah not only in points but, correspondingly, also in offensive yards, as its 419 yards largely overshadowed Savannah’s 154 offensive yards.
Dodge also has a higher number of passing/receiving yards, with 121 versus Savannah’s meager 41.
The Indians also out rushed the Blue Jackets with 298 yards compared to their 113.
Both teams had the same number of penalties, nine, but Savannah lost 75 yards while Dodge lost 80.
Nonetheless, the Indians were undoubtedly more efficient with their time of possession, as they scored more in their 23:40 than Savannah did with its 24:20.
Credit for the game’s biggest moments goes to some of Dodge’s top players.
Thompson completed four of his six attempted passes for a total of 121 yards of coverage and two resulting touchdowns from Lampkin, the top receiver. Lampkin received the ball twice over 82 total yards, scoring two touchdowns.
Larry Johnson and Young also received the ball once each. Johnson received it over a 28-yard pass while Young’s reception followed an 11-yard pass.
Dodge’s top rushers were Erin Pitts, Kyle Glover and Coleman. Pitts attempted five rushes for a total of 70 yards while Glover attempted seven rushes, covering 59 yards. Coleman only attempted three rushes for 41 total yards but scored a touchdown on one attempt.
Dodge’s top defensive players include Coleman, who made four solo tackles and had one assist. Johnson had three solo tackles with one assist, and Nick Rogers had two solo tackles with one assist.
The Indians’ next game takes place on Friday, September 18, at 7:30 p.m. as the team takes on Southeast Bulloch at Memorial Stadium and John Marshall Peacock Field.
