The Lake View Wild Gators’ season came to an end Friday night with a 27-7 loss to Blackville-Hilda in the Class A Division II lower state final.
“They were a big physical team and we just had a hard time stopping them” Lake View coach Jewell McLaurin said.“We ran the ball well, just couldn’t quite get it in.”
The Fighting Hawks took the opening kickoff for six and the point after was good, but they managed only two field goals the rest of the half.
Lake View then got on the board with a Quandon Christian sprint of 80 yards nearing the end of the quarter. The defense did its job in the second and Lake View had a chance to put another score on the board at the end of the half, but was held on downs at the 2-yard line.
Christian led the Wild Gator rushing attack with 103 yards.
Blackville-Hilda controlled the second half, posting touchdowns in each of the two quarters, outscoring Lake View 14-0. Lake View ends its season at 11-2.
