The Wayne County War Eagles will square off against the Williamson Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Wayne County is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Friday. Their defense stepped up to hand Northeast Lauderdale a 14-0 shutout.

Meanwhile, Williamson came into Friday's game having lost four straight, but that streak is now in the rearview. They took their contest at home on Friday with ease, bagging a 52-0 victory over Booker T. Washington. Given the Lions' advantage in MaxPreps' football rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked 61st in Alabama, while the Wildcats are ranked 398th in Florida), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.

Williamson's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Todrick Withers, who rushed for 60 yards and two touchdowns. Alvin Dinkins was another key passer, throwing for 138 yards and a touchdown while completing 73.3% of his passes.
