TOCCOA — Stephens County piled up 387 yards of offense, including 276 on the ground, to ground out a stunning 41-7 win over Flowery Branch Friday night at The Reservation.

Bell found Donovan Curry on a 6-yard scoring pass that was set up by a 55-yard bomb to A.J. Curry one play before to push the lead to 27-0 by halftime.
The Indians continued to press the attack in the third quarter getting a 36-yard touchdown run from A.J. Howard and a 43-yard touchdown run from Brown Hassan for a 41-0 lead.
The Falcons score came in the fourth quarter when Nick Lance connected with Jalen Strown on a 2-yard pass.
