Gamecock commits Caleb McDowell, O’Mega Blake, Sam Reynolds shine Friday night
South Carolina commit Caleb McDowell started fast Friday and didn’t let up.
The Class of 2021 running back scored on the first play from scrimmage and finished with four touchdowns to help Lee County (Ga.) defeat Lithia Springs, 62-6 on Friday night.
Lee County is now 3-1 on the year and was coming off a 38-13 loss to Lowndes last week.
McDowell rushed for 120 yards on eight carries and had two punt returns for 78 yards. He didn’t play the second half with the big lead.
“The start of the season has been pretty good. Came out strong, had two blowouts then we played Lowndes, the No. 9 team in the nation and got off focused a little bit,” McDowell said Friday night. “That was a hiccup and we bounced back and hope we keep rolling from here.”
