Suggested Video

Dudley had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Asheboro Blue Comets 55-0. The win was just business as usual for the Panthers, who after 11 games remain undefeated this season.

On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Dudley's defense and their three sacks. Robert McCollum was especially locked on to Asheboro's QB and sacked him twice. McCollum is also on a roll when it comes to total tackles, as he's now made five or more in the last 24 games he's played dating back to last season. Dudley got some further help from Adae Motley: he made 11 total tackles (3.0 for loss).

Dudley pushed their record up to 11-0 with the victory, which was their 14th straight at home dating back to last season. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 47.5 points. As for Asheboro, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost six of their last eight games, which put a noticeable dent in their 4-7 record this season.

Dudley will play host again on Friday to welcome A.C. Reynolds, where kickoff is scheduled at 7:00 p.m. Dudley's defense has only allowed 1.4 points per game this season, so A.C. Reynolds' offense will have their work cut out for them. Asheboro does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
