If Turner wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Piper, they should've done a better job of containing Roman Byers. The Pirates took their game on Friday with ease, bagging a 43-7 victory over the Golden Bears thanks in part to Byers, who rushed for 149 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also threw for 71 yards and one TD. Piper is 3-1 when Byers posts 80 or more rushing yards, but 0-3 otherwise.

On the defensive side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Piper's defense and their three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Max Clark, Jeremiah Price, and Trent Rymer, who each picked up one sack apiece. Another thorn in Turner's side was Clark, who picked up a sack, forced one fumble, and made eight total tackles.

The win made it two in a row for Piper and bumps their season record up to 3-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 20 points in those games. As for Turner, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-6.

We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Piper is set to challenge their familiar foe West at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. That contest will pit two of the most dominant backs against one another: Byers and Nasir'E Williams-Brown. Meanwhile, Turner will face off against rival Shawnee Heights at 7:00 p.m. on the 25th.
