S-V-W-W pulls huge road upset over one of the BDC favorites, Carmi-White County

by Steve Dunford

CARMI, IL-   The Sesser-Valier-Waltonville-Woodlawn Red Devils went over to Carmi last night as underdogs to the Bulldogs.

The Devils race out to a 21-6  halftime lead and hold on to defeat Carmi-White County 27 to 12,

Three-year starting quarterback Clayton Smith liked throwing to Lukas Gunter last night as the duo combined for 147 yards.

Eli Gunter had two rushing touchdowns for the Devils.

I talked with S-V-W-W coach John Shadowens and he had this to say about last night’s victory, “ It’s always nice to win on opening night, especially on the road against a conference favorite.  Our athletes came through with some big plays in the first half that set the tone.” 

The Devils (1-0) will make the long road trip to Albion Friday night to take on the Edwards Co. Lions.  Carmi-White-County (0-1) will be coming to Franklin County in week two, facing the C-Z-R Bearcats.
