With a month and five games left in the regular season, the Vicksburg Gators still have ample opportunity to put together a playoff push.

Their chance to make a statement as one of the top teams in Region 2-5A, however, vanished in a hurry Friday night.

Germantown scored three touchdowns in a six-minute span in the second quarter and remained undefeated by routing Vicksburg 45-14.

Dalton Bradfield ran for two touchdowns and caught a TD pass for Germantown (6-0, 2-0 Region 2-5A).

Bradfield scored on runs of 17 and 1 yards, and Noah Greenwood threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Smith to turn a seven-point game into a 28-0 blowout at halftime.

Vicksburg didn’t get on the board until Marquez Pickett tossed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Kareeme Butler early in the fourth quarter.

Tyson Hardy got the Gators’ other touchdown with a 4-yard run later in the fourth quarter.

Pickett finished the game 14-of-26 passing for 132 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. Butler caught five passes for 111 yards and a touchdown.
