POWDER SPRINGS — Valdosta State’s trip to McEachern’s Walter Cantrell Stadium proved beneficial in a number of ways for the No. 23 Blazers who beat No. 12 Winston-Salem State 22-17 on Saturday in front of an announced crowd of 2,519.
The game, a rematch of the 2012 NCAA Division II national championship won by Valdosta State, started slowly after neither team scored in the first quarter.
That changed 3 seconds into the second period when Valdosta State quarterback Jake Medlock capped an eight-play, 61-yard with a 1-yard touchdown run, and Kenny Murphy’s 2-point conversion gave the Blazers an 8-0 lead.
Winston-Salem State answered when Terry Ross’ 52-yard interception return trimmed the deficit to 8-7.
Cedric O’Neal’s 3-yard run capped a 10-play, 70-yard Blazers’ drive and Valdosta State took a 15-7 lead into halftime.
