Turnovers and Mistakes Doom Yellow Jackets Against Overhills
Lee County gave up 5 turnovers and allowed untimely penalties and mistakes to help visiting Overhills to a 46-9 win Friday night at Paul Gay Stadium in Sanford. Lee County was within four (13-9) just before the half, but several special team mistakes and turnovers quickly turned the game into a rout.
Lee County fell behind 13-0 in the first quarter but used a safety and a 64-yard run by Zach Williams to pull within 4 with 2:41 left in the half. Lee County appeared to stop Overhills and get the ball back with nearly two minutes left in the half, but a penalty extended the Overhills drive, and they would score just before the break for a 20-9 halftime score.
Lee County would turn it over with 2 interceptions and a fumble on its first 3 possessions in the 2nd half and Overhills would take advantage of each with 3 TDs in the 3rd quarter.
Lee County falls to 0-3 on the season and will have a week off before starting Carolina Pines 6A action on September 18th at Triton.
