Solomon James erupted for three touchdowns and 217 all-purpose yards as the Woodland Wildcats won their second-straight game with a 28-14 victory over the visiting Cedartown Bulldogs on Friday night at Wildcats Stadium.
The first quarter set the tone for a back-and-forth first half.
Cedartown struck first when Jaylen Johnson broke free for a 40-yard touchdown run at the 9:32 mark. The Bulldogs' PAT made it 7-0.
Woodland answered immediately. James lofted a halfback pass to Korbyn Jarrett for a 23-yard touchdown. Hunter Limbaugh’s first of four PAT kicks tied it at 7-7 with 5:39 left in the opening period.
Less than five minutes later, James took matters into his own hands with a 41-yard touchdown scamper. Limbaugh’s kick gave Woodland a 14-7 lead with 49 seconds remaining in the first.
Cedartown quarterback Wyatt Mosley knotted the score at 14-14 with a 5-yard touchdown run at the 0:26 mark of the second quarter, sending the teams to the intermission with the score tied.
The teams traded possessions through a scoreless third quarter, though Woodland was driving as the period ended.
The Wildcats finished off their victory with a pair of fourth-quarter scores.
James plunged in from 5 yards out with 11:54 remaining to put Woodland ahead 21-14. With just under three minutes remaining, he broke loose again for a 19-yard touchdown run, and Limbaugh’s PAT set the final margin at 28-14.
James finished with 126 rushing yards on 20 carries, three total touchdowns, a 23-yard touchdown pass to Jarrett, and five receptions for 68 yards. Sammy Ray IV completed 11 of 15 passes for 113 yards with one interception. Clayton McArdle added three catches for 29 yards.
Cedartown finished 2-8 overall and winless in region play. Woodland (2-7, 1-4) hosts Dalton on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in its regular-season finale.
