Lamar County wins, Pike County falls in football action Friday:

The Class AA No. 7 state-ranked Lamar County Trojans football team upped its record to 3-0-1 with a 15-0 shutout win at Region 4-AA foe Taylor County (2-2, 0-1 region) last Friday night.

Tyler Scandrett got the party started for Lamar with a 37-yard field goal and the Austin twins Lawrence and Lance took over after that to improve to 1-0 in region play. Lawrence scored on a 10-yard touchdown run and Lance had an 11-yard TD run. Both point-after attempts failed and that left the final margin 15-0.

The Trojans host the undefeated Northeast Macon Raiders (4-0, 1-0) Friday at 7:30 p.m.

The Pirates of Pike County traveled to Columbus to take on the Class AAA No. 7 Carver-Columbus Tigers and were walloped 38-3 last Friday in Region 2-AAA action. Carver (4-1 overall, 1-0 region) led 21-3 at halftime.
