Southside had won nine straight at home dating back to last season, but on Friday they bumped up to 9-0 to make it ten. They took their contest with ease, bagging a 74-22 win over the Thorsby Rebels. Considering the Panthers have won eight matchups by more than 43 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

It was another big night for Kole Moody, who threw for 441 yards and seven TDs while completing 79.2% of his passes. Those 441 passing yards gave him a new career-high. Jaibrien Gresham handled things on the ground, rushing for 82 yards.

Southside was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 202 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 184 rushing yards in three consecutive games.

On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Southside's defense and their 14 sacks. Michael Hosea led the group effort, picking up four of those sacks all by himself. Kendell Wilson continues to improve, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. Aarron Bonner was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, forcing one fumble, and making 11 total tackles (2.0 for loss).

Having lost for the first time this season, Thorsby fell to 8-1. The loss was their first of the season.

Despite the loss, Thorsby still got an impressive performance from Braylon Carroll, who rushed for 99 yards and one touchdown, and also threw for 100 yards and one TD.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Southside will challenge Bullock County at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. That contest will pit two of the most dominant signal callers against one another: Moody and Tyekelis Wallace. As for Thorsby, they will take on Comer at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Rebels will be up against the Tigers' rather soft defense (which has allowed 40.89 points per matchup), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
