Lamar County beats South Lamar in rivalry opener
VERNON, Ala. — The Lamar County High School football team needed one big offensive play Friday night.
Freshman tailback Alex Wheeler provided it.
Wheeler’s 1-yard touchdown run with 10 minutes, 40 seconds left in regulation helped Lamar County knock off arch-rival South Lamar 6-0 before a standing-room-only crowd at George Bell Stadium in the season opener for both teams.
