Ferriday defeated Vidalia 59-54 Tuesday night.

“Both teams played sloppy,” Vidalia head coach Robert Sanders said. “We’re going to have to concentrate on our fouls.”

In the fourth it was all Ferriday as they jumped out with a 14-0 run to build a lead that the Vikings would not be able to overcome.

“Our defense played well tonight,” Ferriday head coach K.G. Watkins said. “They kept us in the game.”
