You're bound to get a positive result if you outscore your opponent every quarter, and that's just how it played out between Friend and Allen. Friend crushed Allen last week, winning 52 - 12. The margin wasn't a surprise since Friend is ranked 29 positions ahead of Allen in the state.
Friend's offense came in ready to rumble, picking up 32 points in the first half. That gave them a 32 - 6 advantage at the half. Friend's success only continued in the second half, where it racked up an additional 20 points.
Even though Allen lost, junior Kyle Smith provided the team with a solid game as he earned one touchdown and 126 yards rushing the ball. In addition, Smith has now posted four consecutive games with over 100 yards rushing.
Senior Kolby Houlden and junior Edwen Baptista were the main playmakers for Friend as Houlden ran for 135 yards and also punched in three touchdowns and Baptista earned three touchdowns and 123 yards rushing the ball.
The defeat dropped Allen's record to 5-4. The win lifted Friend to 8-1.
The Friend squad is hoping to improve its record as its season nears the close. Friend will look to defend its home turf against Wynot this Wednesday at 5:00 PM. Friend has stomped its last three opponents, so Wynot might have its hands full.
