Under four minutes later, with 3:36 left in the second quarter, Goodwin found Bart Pettus open in the endzone for a Demopolis touchdown and a 35-0 lead.

The Tigers added a safety with 1:23 left in the first half to increase their lead to 37-0.

Demopolis tacked on one more touchdown towards the end of the game to bring the final score to 71-0.

Once again, the Tigers played well in all aspects of the game and will be hosting the playoffs after last night’s victory.

With the win, the Tigers have ended the season undefeated in their region and will take on 5A Greenville next Friday night at home.
