Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Northern Nash). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the C.B. Aycock Golden Falcons 58-7. Given the Knights' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 61st, while the Golden Falcons are ranked 276th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Northern Nash's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Myles Eatmon led the charge by rushing for 73 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries. Eatmon is on a roll when it comes to rushing touchdowns, as he's now punched in three or more in each of the last three games he's played. Gehrig Miller was another key signal caller, throwing for 214 yards and a pair of TDs while completing 92.9% of his passes.
Northern Nash didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited C.B. Aycock to a completion percentage of just 33.3%. That defensive display was nothing new: the Knights have limited their opponent to a lower and lower completion percentage in three consecutive matchups.
Northern Nash didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Kamren Freeman and Jaylen Langley. Northern Nash received some extra help from Caleb Mayfield, whose fumble return for a touchdown made for one of the most unforgettable moments.

Looking ahead, Northern Nash will head out to challenge Southern Wayne at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
