Justin Godwin Dazzles in Wetumpka Win
Wetumpka picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Justin Godwin. Park Crossing had no answer to Godwin as he forced a fumble, made 13 total tackles, and defended three passes. Godwin also punched in two rushing touchdowns, which is notable because Wetumpka is undefeated when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns, but 2-3 otherwise.
Wetumpka's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-3. Godwin and Wetumpka will square off against Stanhope Elmore at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Russell County had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Jones it was a similar story. Jones rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.
