Luverne extended their winning streak to seven on Friday, bumping them up to 7-0. They blew past the Highland Home Flying Squadron 61-13. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by 48 points or more this season.
Luverne's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Kane Smith, who threw for 302 yards and four TDs while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 71 yards on only eight carries. Those 302 passing yards gave Smith a new career-high. Luverne's leading receiver Elliott Harris was Smith's top target yet again, picking up 144 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns, while also punching in one score on the ground.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Luverne was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 262 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 158 rushing yards every time they've taken the field this season.
Another reason for the win was Luverne's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Khi Harris, Tony Franklin, and Caden Wiggins, who each picked up one sack apiece.
As for Highland Home, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-5. While losing is never fun, they can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Alabama football rankings (they are ranked 268th, while Luverne is ranked 104th).
Highland Home's defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Jacorey Posey, who rushed for 96 yards and one TD on only six carries, and Ethan Bowen, who picked up 65 receiving yards and one score.
Looking ahead, Luverne will take on Barbour County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Tigers will be up against the Jaguars' rather soft defense (which has allowed 45.29 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Highland Home, they will face off against Pike Liberal Arts at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Flying Squadron will be up against the Patriots' rather soft defense (which has allowed 37 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
