Sincere Thompson had another great game (as he tends to do), rushing for 165 yards and a pair of TDs. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 127 rushing yards. Another back making a difference was Jacob Alexander, who rushed for 83 yards and one score on only ten carries.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Southern Alamance was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 314 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 164 rushing yards in four consecutive contests.
Southern Alamance didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Cj McAdoo.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Williams). They simply couldn't be stopped last Friday as they easily beat Graham 56-6. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Bulldogs' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 77th, while the Red Devils are ranked 412th).
Southern Alamance better focus on containing Amarion Richmond and Kyrian Fuller as the pair were huge in Williams' win. Richmond rushed for 91 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Fuller rushed for 65 yards and one TD. Jazian Bigelow was in the mix too, providing Williams with two scores.
Special teams was a major factor in the game for Williams, racking up 11 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Bubba Sims, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.
Southern Alamance now has a winning record of 3-2. As for Williams, their win bumped their record up to 4-1.
Friday's matchup might be decided on the ground. Southern Alamance has been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 281.6 rushing yards per game. However, it's not like Williams struggles in that department as they've been averaging 203.2 rushing yards. There's a good chance Friday's game turns into a tough fight on the ground.
Southern Alamance came up short against Williams when the teams last played back in September of 2024, falling 38-29. Thankfully for the Patriots, Dan Mahan (who rushed for 162 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only eight carries, and also threw for 169 yards and two TDs) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
