VIDALIA — The Caldwell Parish Spartans scored 27 points in the second quarter that broke the game wide open as they went on to defeat the Vidalia Vikings 56-6 in an LHSAA District 3-3A game Friday night.

Vidalia held its own with a good Caldwell Parish team in the first quarter and trailed just 8-0 at the end of the quarter. Then the Spartans took control of the game in the second quarter and never let the Vikings have a chance of getting back in it.

By the time the third quarter was over, the Spartans led the Vikings 48-6.
