Hermitage won the last time they faced Godwin and Avery Curtis did his part to make sure it happened again. The Panthers blew past the Eagles 34-13 on Friday for which the team can thank Curtis, who rushed for 185 yards and one TD while picking up 9.7 yards per carry. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 111.4 rushing yards per game.

Hermitage's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB three times. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: Dillan Webb, Brandon Samuel, and King William, who each picked up one sack apiece. Webb was another major factor on D, picking up a sack and making 17 total tackles (3.0 for loss).

The win made it two in a row for Hermitage and bumps their season record up to 4-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 45.0 points over those games. As for Godwin, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-4 record this season.

Hermitage will venture away from home to challenge J.R. Tucker at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Panthers will be up against the Tigers' rather soft defense (which has allowed 53.67 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. As for Godwin, they will look to defend their home field on Friday against Glen Allen at 7:00 p.m. The Jaguars' defense has only allowed 11.8 points per game this season, so the Eagles' offense will have their work cut out for them.
