After a scoreless first half, the Red Devils rallied and scored early in the third quarter on a five-yard rushing touchdown by Trevor Baker, tying the game at 8-8.

The defensive brawl continued into the fourth quarter until Vina scored on a 40-yard rushing touchdown by Baker, making the score 16-8 late in the fourth quarter.

After the Cougars scored with under two minutes to play, the Red Devils came up with a big stop on the two-point conversion by Branson Vick and Tristen Farr to avoid them trying the game.

Vina travels to Addison next. The Red Bay Tigers picked up their first win of the season beating the Tharptown Wildcats 50-0.
