The Oxon Hill Clippers will head out on the road to face off against the Flowers Jaguars at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The two teams are strolling into their matchups after big wins in their previous games.
Oxon Hill is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They claimed a resounding 56-0 win over Parkdale. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Clippers with their most commanding win of the season.
A big part of Oxon Hill's victory came down to the chemistry between Amir Elder and his top target Kyre Grays. Elder threw for 168 yards and three TDs while completing 76.9% of his passes while Grays gained 122 total yards and three touchdowns. Grays was no stranger to the big play, lighting up the secondary with a catch that went for 60 yards.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Oxon Hill proved: they limited Parkdale to a paltry 1.6 yards per carry. The team can thank Denzel Holley for the heroic effort on defense: he. Oxon Hill didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 15.5.
Oxon Hill didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. It was truly a group effort as David Richardson, Jason Williams, and Michael Ayodeji picked up one apiece. Oxon Hill received some extra help from Jaden McGruder, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.
Meanwhile, Flowers put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Bladensburg 57-0. Given the Jaguars' advantage in MaxPreps' Maryland football rankings (they are ranked 18th, while the Mustangs are ranked 207th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Oxon Hill better keep an eye on Kodi Gardner. He was instrumental in Flowers' win, rushing for 36 yards and a pair of scores. Gardner is also on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in two or more in each of the last four games he's played.
Oxon Hill's record now sits at 5-1. As for Flowers, their record is now 6-0.
Oxon Hill came up short against Flowers in their previous matchup back in September of 2024, falling 24-19. Thankfully for the Clippers, Amontay Cox (who rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
