Manwell Robinson was a one-man wrecking crew as he rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.1 yards per carry. Those 128 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. Another rusher making a difference was Che'Shon Cobb, who rushed for 75 yards and one score on only nine carries.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Crestview was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 285 rushing yards. They are 3-1 when they've run for more than 200 yards.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Crestview's defense and their three sacks. Jordyn Stoudmire was especially locked on to Escambia's QB and sacked him twice.
Meanwhile, Tate sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 24-21 win over Booker T. Washington on Friday. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Aggies have posted against the Wildcats since September 28, 2018.
Tate found their leader in sophomore Tanner Clark, who rushed for 151 yards and three TDs. Clark is becoming a predictor of the Aggies' success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't). Tate also got a significant boost from Ethan Pittman, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 86 yards.
Crestview now has a winning record of 4-3. As for Tate, their win bumped their record up to 6-2.
Friday's contest might be decided on the ground. Crestview has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 205.6 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Tate struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 180.2 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's game turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Crestview suffered a grim 54-30 defeat to Tate in their previous matchup back in October of 2024. Thankfully for the Bulldogs, Taite Davis (who threw for 322 yards and five touchdowns while completing 81.8% of his passes, and also rushed for 38 yards and one score) won't be suiting up this time.
