Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Carroll). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the King Mustangs 64-14. The win continues a trend for the Tigers in their matchups with the Mustangs: they've now won four in a row.

Carroll's win was the result of several impressive offensive performances. One of the most notable came from Braylen Swanson, who picked up 91 receiving yards and two TDs. The team also got some help courtesy of Cesar Morales, who rushed for 83 yards and one score.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Carroll proved: they limited King to a paltry two yards per carry. The team can thank Aiden Ben-David for the heroic effort on defense: he. Carroll's run defense has been on the up-and-up: they allowed 4.5 yards per carry earlier this season, but they've only allowed 7.07 on average over their last five games.

Carroll's defense didn't let Tatum Emerson, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for six sacks. Leading the way was Joseph Villarreal with two. He is becoming a predictor of Carroll's success: when he posts at least one sack the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't). The Tigers got some further help from Ben-David: he picked up a sack, forced one fumble, and made 13 total tackles.

Despite the defeat, King had strong showings from Damon Smith, who picked up 145 receiving yards and one touchdown, and Jordan Davis, who gained 96 total yards and a touchdown. Davis was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 54 yards.

Carroll's victory bumped their record up to 4-2. As for King, their loss was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 0-6.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Carroll will welcome Miller at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Buccaneers will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more points each game than the last. As for King, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Ray at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
