Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Northwest). They blew past the Gaithersburg Trojans, posting a 37-7 victory. The Jaguars' offense checked out after the first half but had enough points banked to take the game anyway.

Northwest got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Warren Jackson out in front who picked up 96 receiving yards and two scores. Those 96 receiving yards gave Jackson a new career-high. Another signal caller making a difference was Jayden Vongprachanh-Nelson, who threw for 60 yards and a pair of TDs on only five passes.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Northwest proved: they limited Gaithersburg to a paltry 3.2 yards per carry. The team can thank Esteban Ruiz for the heroic effort on defense: he. Northwest didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 12.7.
