After starting their season with two straight games on the road, Escambia is finally coming home. After each having a week off, they and the Bay Tornadoes will dust off their jerseys to challenge one another at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
Escambia came up short against Niceville last Friday, falling 42-21.
Despite their defeat, Escambia saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Billy Dunn, who rushed for 11 yards and a touchdown, and also threw for 70 yards and a touchdown, was perhaps the best of all.
Escambia's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Taiylor Bradsher and Ladarian Clardy. With that strong performance, Clardy is now averaging an impressive 7 total tackles per game. Escambia got some further help from Justus Payne: he made nine total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 53-15, which was the final score in Bay's tilt against Mosley last Friday. While losing is never fun, the Tornadoes can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Florida football rankings (they are ranked 374th, while the Dolphins are ranked 114th).
Although Bay took the loss, they still got scores from Chris Noble and Wykein Waters.
Escambia's loss dropped their record down to 1-1. As for Bay, their defeat dropped their record down to 0-2.
