POOLER — Pierce County’s 1-2 punch of Drake Dowling and Jae’Veon Williams combined for 289 yards and four touchdowns leading the Class 2A second-ranked Bears to a 39-14 victory Thursday over New Hampstead at the Pooler Recreation Complex.

The rare Thursday night kick was used because of the Phoenix and Savannah Christian sharing the facility. The Raiders hosted Fellowship Christian Friday night in a clash of Class A-3A private school powers.

Bears’ head coach Ryan Herring did not feel the short practice week had much bearing on the game.
