PRICHARD — Jabarrius “Chicken” Garror broke the state sack record while Demetris Johnson rushed for 144 yards on 23 carries and two touchdowns as No. 1-ranked Vigor routed Valley 37-7 in the first round of the Class 4A playoffs at Wolfpack Stadium Friday night.
Garror picked up his state-record sack with 4:25 left in the third quarter, giving him 64½for his career. The previous record of 63 set by Spanish Fort’s Cole McConathy from 2021-2023.
“It was really amazing,” said Garror, a Texas commit. “I was ready for it the whole game and I finally got it. It was great to get the sack. I’ve been thinking about it all day.”
Wolves coach Renardo Jackson said he and his staff didn’t put in a special plan to get Garror the record.
“We didn’t put a lot of thought into that,” Jackson said. “We just tried to put a game plan together and give us a chance to win. Chicken understood we’re just going to play the game and when the sack came, we would celebrate him and honor him.”
No. 2 Vigor (9-2) will host No. 7 Selma (10-1) in the second round.
Johnson’s touchdown runs covered 27 and 6 yards and Anthony Gill threw three touchdown passes — 36 yards to Skyler Roberson and 14 and 25 yards to Terrell Prince. Kamarcus Cobbs added a 6-yard TD run.
