After each having a week off, the Thompson Warriors and the Daphne Trojans will dust off their jerseys to challenge one another at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Two weeks ago, Thompson took their match with ease, bagging a 42-7 win over Prattville. The matchup was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 35-0.
Thompson found their leader in sophomore Trent Seaborn, who threw for 370 yards and five touchdowns while completing 71.9% of his passes. The dominant performance also gave Seaborn a new career-high in rushing yards (23). Darion Moseley also helped with three touchdowns in total.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Daphne). They blew past Robertsdale 42-0 two weeks ago. Given the Trojans' advantage in MaxPreps' Alabama football rankings (they are ranked 29th, while the Golden Bears are ranked 203rd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Daphne wouldn't let Robertsdale keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Daphne can thank Jaysean Willis and Edrick Mryon Williams for forcing both of them. Mryon Williams also made four total tackles, which is notable because Daphne is undefeated when he posts at least four total tackles, but 2-3 otherwise. Another thorn in Robertsdale's side was Marquaes Lambert, who made 15 total tackles (7.0 for loss).
Daphne pushed their record up to 7-3 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 37.0 points per game. As for Thompson, their record is now 7-3.
