If Danny Wilson was concerned about how much energy and fight his football team would have playing its fifth game in 17 days he needn’t have worried.

Wilson’s Coahulla Creek Colts (2-6, 1-5), in the latter stages of playing six games in 23 days, rode a career-high 220 yards and four touchdowns from Titus Underwood to win their first Region 6-AAA game of the season, 34-21 at Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe, Tuesday night.

COVID-19 related postponements early this season caused the logjam of games, all league tilts, and the Colts had lost each of the four games, though three of them were tight contests. Tuesday they ended a five-game losing streak with a dominating effort from the offensive line.

“The offensive line deserves a huge amount of credit,” Wilson, the first-year Colts’ coach, said. “They did a great job. That last drive was all on them. “We’ve got nobody who had varsity experience this year. All those guys are new, but they kept grinding and doing what we’ve asked them to do and are doing a great job with it.”

That game-sealing drive began after the Colts stopped LFO on fourth down at the Coahulla Creek 24 with 8:40 remaining in the game leading 28-21. Underwood and Tyler Lockett, who was returning from an injury that caused him to miss five games, each had big runs during the 11-play drive, which ended with Lockett’s 10-yard touchdown run with 1:39 remaining.
