The 2A Vincent Yellow Jackets improved to 3-1, 3-0 following a big double overtime win 27-20 over region opponent J. B. Pennington at home last Friday night.

&8220;Our kids showed a lot of heart,&8221; said Vincent head football coach Dwight Spradley. &8220;They (J.B. Pennington) were a lot bigger than us physically. Our guys just hung in there and fought. We turned the ball over three times and our defense kept them out of the end zone.&8221;

This contest was a roller coaster ride for fans of the Yellow Jackets with Vincent leading 7-6 at the half and tied at 14-14 in the third quarter. The teams swapped scores until the second overtime when Corey Deloach connected with Octavius Looney on a 10-yard aerial and Desmond Ford added the PAT.
