STAFF REPORT

Reginald Davis and the Robert E. Lee Generals celebrated Senior Night with an easy 33-7 victory over Valley in the finale in Class 6A, Region 2 teams Thursday at Cramton Bowl.

Davis had his lowest output of the season but after scoring twice in the first half, he sat the rest of the evening while Brian Thomas did most of the work. Davis finished with 88 yards on eight carries and two touchdowns on runs of 28 and 30 yards.

Thomas finished with 118 yards and a score on nine carries including an 83-yard run midway through the second quarter to give Lee a 21-0 lead.

Lee quarterback Jakel Williams ran for a score and threw for another, a 30-yard pass to LaGreer Searles in the third period for the Generals’ final points.

Williams finished with 78 yards passing on 5 of 7 attempts.

Lee (6-3, 5-2) needs losses by Eufaula and Carver on Friday to earn a second seed and a first-round home game in two weeks. The game scheduled next Friday with Pinson Valley has been cancelled.
