The Jordan Falcons will take on the Millbrook Wildcats at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Jordan comes in on three and Millbrook on four.
Jordan is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They blew past Smithfield-Selma 62-0 at home last Friday. Given the Falcons' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 41st, while the Spartans are ranked 329th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Jordan can attribute much of their success to Landon Melton, who threw for 200 yards and four touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and Amareon Blue, who gained 158 total yards and two touchdowns. Michael Young was another key player, picking up 85 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Jordan was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 278 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
Jordan wouldn't let Smithfield-Selma keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Jordan can thank Noah Clark and Micheal Koonce for forcing both of them.
Meanwhile, Millbrook gave up the first points last Friday, but they didn't let that get them down. They put the hurt on Sanderson with a sharp 35-12 victory. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won three contests by 23 points or more so far this season.
Brilison Mccullers was nothing short of spectacular: he rushed for 120 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. The team also got some help courtesy of Austin Battle, who threw for 162 yards and a touchdown.
