Wallace blanks South Lenoir 82-0

A rough 2024 football season got a little rougher for the winless South Lenoir Blue Devils Thursday night as a strong Wallace Rose-Hill Bulldogs team defeated them 82-0.

The 3-2 Bulldogs would score early and often as they ran up the score 57-0 in the first half against the 0-4 Blue Devils who were just simply outmatched. The second half moved quickly as the clock ran continuously due to 42-point mercy rule, still the Bulldogs were able to rattle off several more scores ultimately winning the game by an 82-0 final score.

The visitors rushed for 365 yards on 21 attempts and scored 10 touchdowns. Jamarae Lamb led the way for the Bulldogs with 110 yards. Lonnie Wilson also had a nice performance with 64 yards and 2 touchdowns.

After going through a tough non-conference slate that included traditional powers Hoggard and Havelock, Wallace has now rattled off 3 straight wins, and they are now 4-2(2-0)in East Central Conference play.

The Bulldogs will look to keep the momentum going when they travel back to Lenoir County next week to take on a 2-3 North Lenoir team. South Lenoir now sits at 0-5, and have lost 13 straight dating back to last season. It doesn’t get any easier next Friday as they travel to undefeated James Kenan who is hitting on all cylinders this season.
