Hank Webb was instrumental in extending Salisbury's winning streak to seven on Friday. Webb was dynamite, throwing for 274 yards and three touchdowns, while also punching in a rushing score. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more passing touchdowns the last four times he's played.
Salisbury's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-1. Webb and Salisbury will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on North Rowan at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.
