It was another big night for Beau Wendel, who rushed for 102 yards and a pair of scores on only nine carries, and also threw for 141 yards and one touchdown while completing 75% of his passes. That's the most rushing yards he has posted since back in November of 2024. Jonathan Azunna was in the mix too, providing Midlothian with two TDs.

Looking ahead, Red Oak will challenge Tyler at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Hawks will be up against the Lions' rather soft defense (which has allowed 36.22 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Midlothian, they will take on Highland Park at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The Panthers will need to watch out since the Scots have now posted at least 31 points in their last seven matchups.
