Football Preview: Moody Blue Devils vs. Arab Knights
The Moody Blue Devils will be playing at home against the Arab Knights at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Moody will be hoping to continue their four-game streak of scoring more points each game than the last.
Moody is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They breezed by Lincoln to the tune of 66-3 two weeks ago. The match was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 52-3.
Moody's success was spearheaded by the efforts of Kevin James, who rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns on only seven carries, and Charlie Johnston, who threw for 108 yards and four touchdowns. Bravis Cave Jr was in the mix too, providing Moody with two touchdowns.
Moody wouldn't let Lincoln keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Moody can thank Marshall Teofilo and Kaleb Goff for forcing both of them. Goff is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last 16 games he's played dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Arab took their contest on Friday with ease, bagging a 42-7 victory over Priceville. Given the Knights' advantage in MaxPreps' Alabama football rankings (they are ranked 98th, while the Bulldogs are ranked 280th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Moody pushed their record up to 7-2 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 46.3 points per game. As for Arab, their record is now 6-4.
Moody might still be hurting after the 42-20 loss they got from Arab in their previous meeting back in November of 2022. Thankfully for Moody, Drake Franklin (who rushed for 190 yards and five touchdowns) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
