The Eastern Ramblers will host the Dunbar Crimson Tide at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Eastern comes in on three and Dunbar on five.
Eastern is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of District of Columbia's top teams: Woodson, who was ranked 11th in their home state at the time (Eastern was ranked fifth). Eastern took their contest two weeks ago with ease, bagging a 34-6 victory over Woodson. The Ramblers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by 25 points or more this season.
Eastern can attribute much of their success to Daquan Ginyard, who rushed for 165 yards while picking up 8.7 yards per carry, and Jeremiah Hubbard, who threw for 143 yards and three touchdowns. Ginyard's rushing production has been exceptional as that marked his sixth straight game with at least 145 rushing yards.
Another reason for the win was Eastern's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for seven sacks. Justice Bush was especially locked on to Woodson's QB and sacked him twice.
Meanwhile, Dunbar got themselves on the board against Woodson on Saturday, but Woodson never followed suit. They blew past the Warriors, posting a 53-0 win. That 53 point margin sets a new team best for the Crimson Tide this season.
