Milton extended their winning streak to six on Friday, bumping them up to 6-1. They took their contest with ease, bagging a 40-7 victory over the Lanier Longhorns. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matchups by 25 points or more this season.

Bentley Hickman had another great game (as he tends to do), rushing for 153 yards and a pair of touchdowns while picking up 7.3 yards per carry. He 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 three games he's played. Another player making a difference was Ben Halevi, who threw for 141 yards and two TDs.

They were just one part of a punishing run game: Milton was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 244 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lanier only rushed for 101.

Milton's defense stepped up as well, laying out Dominic Larocca five times. The heavy lifting was done by Billy Weivoda and Christian Hunter, who racked up 4.5 sacks between them. Milton received some extra help from Weivoda, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.

As for Lanier, their record now sits at 4-3. Having soared to a lofty 47 points in the game before, they couldn't push the score so high this time.

When it comes to explaining why Lanier lost, don't look at Larocca. Despite the final result, he rushed for 52 yards and one score, and also threw for 88 yards and one touchdown.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Milton will welcome Gainesville at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. The Eagles will need to watch out since the Red Elephants have now posted at least 31 points in their last three games. As for Lanier, they will be playing at home against Johns Creek at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Longhorns will be up against the Gladiators' rather soft defense (which has allowed 52.83 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
