FVMS Football

The FVMS Football team improved to 2-1 on the season with a dominant 20-0 win over Lufkin Road Middle School. Thank you to ALL who came out to support on what turned out to be an amazing afternoon, and a special thank you to our AMAZING Cheer Squad!

Strong running by Lucas Sellers and Kamari Johnson aided by great blocking by the O Line got the Bengals moving on the first drive. Jace Winston came in at quarterback in the red zone, and it took him two carries to find the end zone to give FVMS an early 6-0 cushion.

Strong play by the Bengal d-line and linebackers kept Lufkin in long downs and distances all day, and when FVMS got the ball back, Jace threw a dime to KO Durant for what would've been a majestic touchdown pass down the left sideline. Unfortunately the score was called back due to penalty, but Jace made up for it later with a perfect throw down the right sideline to Christian Rich, followed by a 20-yard touchdown run to the left as the 2nd quarter expired.

KO also snatched an interception on defense, and Jakob Giuliano followed up with a fumble recovery and interception of his own to seal the shutout for the Bengals. Kamari Johnson got loose for a LONG touchdown run in the final minutes to put the Lightning away.

It was a strong team effort for the Bengals, with great contributions across the board. Special shout-out to the offensive and defensive lines, who kept the line of scrimmage moving in the Bengals favor all day. The Bengal Chain Player of the Game was Jace Winston, for his timely passing and slashing runs when FVMS needed a spark.

The Bengals are back in action next Wednesday when they travel to West Lake Middle School for an away game against the Wildcats (4 pm start). Then, on 10/22, FVMS will host Herbert Akins at Fuquay-Varina High School under the lights! That game will start at approximately 6 pm, right after Girls Soccer and Volleyball finish up at FVHS as well. Go Bengals!!
