Lowery scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 6-yard run. White County coach Gregg Segraves said it was exciting way to open the season.
"That was a great football game," he said. "East Jackson is a solid team. But I'm proud of how we found ways to keep coming back. This was a good win for us and a positive start to the season."
East Jackson led 7-0 in the first half but White County stormed back behind Segraves to take a 13-7 early in the second half. East Jackson would then retake the lead 14-13 early in the fourth quarter.
But White County mounted a late drive to reclaim the lead and then the White County defense held on down the stretch intercepting an East Jackson pass to preserve the win.
Lowery also had a stellar on defense with two interceptions and he caused a third on a tipped ball that was picked off by Ethan Eaton.
