Football Preview: Searcy Lions vs. Maumelle Hornets
Searcy has been on the road for two straight, but on Friday they'll finally head home. They will host the Maumelle Hornets at 7:00 p.m. Searcy is strutting in with some offensive muscle as they've averaged 36.5 points per game this season.
Searcy is probably headed into the match with a chip on their shoulder considering Robinson just ended the team's five-game winning streak on Friday. They had to suffer through a 49-14 loss at the hands of the Senators. The matchup marked the Lions' lowest-scoring contest so far this season.
The losing side was boosted by Curtis Goodrich, who rushed for 90 yards and a touchdown.
Searcy wouldn't let Robinson keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Searcy can thank Hayden Garner and William Gaines for forcing both of them. Gaines is also crushing it when it comes to total tackles: he's made at least five every time he's taken the field this season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Maumelle). They blew past White Hall, posting a 55-0 victory. The win was familiar territory for the Hornets who have now won four games in a row.
Maumelle didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as Jonathan Williams, Jaiden Gabriel, and Jacob Henry picked up one apiece.
