Scottsboro barely beat Arab the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Wildcats put the hurt on the Knights with a sharp 28-7 win on Friday. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matchups by 21 points or more this season.

Scottsboro's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Jacobi Edmonson led the charge by rushing for 126 yards on only 15 carries. Edmonson's rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 126 rushing yards. Cohen Thompson also helped out with an impressive 81 receiving yards.

Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Scottsboro proved: they limited Arab to a paltry 2.3 yards per carry. The team can thank Taygan Harris for the heroic effort on defense: he. Scottsboro didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 7.6.

The victory made it two in a row for Scottsboro and bumps their season record up to 6-3. Those wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 20 points in those games. As for Arab, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-4 record this season.

Scottsboro will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Mars Hill Bible at 7:00 p.m. on the 30th. As for Arab, they will head out to face off against Boaz at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
