VIDALIA, La. &045; It’s a crying shame fantasy football is limited to the professional ranks.

Although, if it was not, Vidalia quarterback Tony Hawkins would have been most salivating rotisserie junkies’ first-round pick with the evening he had Friday.

The senior signal caller, who has been relatively quiet in the Vikings’ perfect 10-0 season due to a potent ground attack, was off the meter as No. 3 Vidalia hung half-a-hundred on No. 30 Livonia, 50-7, to advance to the second round of the Class 2A playoffs.

Vidalia will head to New Orleans to face the 19th-seeded Rams of Redeemer-Seton, who upset No. 15 Oakdale 42-18.

&uot;I was in the moment. (Vidalia) Coach (Dee Faircloth) told me to stay hot,&uot; Hawkins said. &uot;Passing has kind of been up and down for us this season, but this is where it counts.&uot;

Hawkins, who was under center last season when the Vikes went 11-0 before getting bounced in the second round of the playoffs by Riverside Academy, finished the night 13 of 17 for 266 yards and a eye-popping five touchdown passes.

Oh, did we forget to mention all of those numbers were courtesy of a lone first half, as Vidalia built a 40-0 advantage at the break?

Hawkins accounted for each touchdown in the opening 24 minutes with scoring passes of 21, 15, 11, 11 and 25 yards to four separate receivers.

&uot;Tony can throw it. He’s one of the best quarterbacks I’ve coached in my 36 years here,&uot; Faircloth said. &uot;We just hadn’t had to this season. (Livonia) put nine in the box, and we started hitting the screens. Our kids are quick. That’s what (Livonia’s coaches) said.&uot;

The Wildcats, who end the season with their sixth consecutive playoff appearance, put a scare into the blue and white early in the game behind the legs and throwing arm of versatile quarterback Jerrylee Scott.

Scott, who Faircloth called Livonia’s version of lame NFL superstar Michael Vick earlier this week, was as good as advertised in the beginning.

The senior playcaller, who stands well above six feet, brought his Wildcat offense inside the red zone on the first two possessions before the Vidalia defense stalled drives.

A first and 10 from the Viking 11 quickly turned into a fourth and 48 from just past midfield after a pair of sacks and a wayward snap in shotgun formation.

&uot;Early in the game we had them on their heels,&uot; Livonia coach Scott Allen said. &uot;I don’t think it would’ve made a difference in the game, but we were inside the 10 twice. We didn’t make any mistakes. They just plain stopped us.&uot;

And when you do not cash in on opportunities against Class 2A’s No. 3 see, they make you pay dearly.

On Livonia’s third possession just outside the 20, Brett Hinson intercepted a Scott pass and Vidalia proceeded to march 89 yards in eight plays to move ahead 24-0.

Hawkins hit wing back Fred Marsalis with screens for two significant pickups to put the Vikes in business. From the Wildcat 39, he rolled right and found tight end Steven Cooper for 28 yards.

&uot;I’d rather go out on the roll because I’ve got that option to pass or throw it, even though I’m not a great runner,&uot; said Hawkins, who completed seven of his last eight passes. &uot;It takes me a spilt second to look at the main receiver, then the secondary one and decide. It’s a God-given talent.&uot;

A play later Hawkins unveiled the final piece of his repertoire with a magically thrown fade to wide receiver Rodney Washington for 11 yards and paydirt with 5:57 in the second.

&uot;Tony is a great quarterback,&uot; Viking fullback Chris Williams said. &uot;(Livonia) had an awesome one too. Coach called him their Michael Vick. We treated this game just like the Ferriday game. The seniors had a meeting and everybody got on each other to explain how important this game was.&uot;
