The South Mecklenburg Sabres will head out on the road to challenge the Hough Huskies at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as South Mecklenburg comes in on six and Hough on seven.
Last Friday, South Mecklenburg made easy work of West Mecklenburg and carried off a 45-20 win. The Sabres might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four games by 25 points or more this season.
South Mecklenburg didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Brody Evans and Amir Gillispie.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hough). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Garinger 66-0. The team's explosion on offense also rewarded the Huskies with their most commanding win of the season.
South Mecklenburg better keep an eye on Ethan Royal. He was instrumental in Hough's win, throwing for 177 yards and three touchdowns while completing 90% of his passes, and also rushing for 30 yards and a pair of TDs. The dominant performance also gave Royal a new career-high in passer rating (168.8). Jayden White was another key player, picking up 106 receiving yards and two scores.
South Mecklenburg's record now sits at 6-1. As for Hough, their record is now 7-0.
South Mecklenburg was taken down by Hough 42-7 in their previous meeting back in November of 2021. Thankfully for the Sabres, Tad Hudson (who threw for 190 yards and three TDs while completing 83.3% of his passes) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
