Bayside Academy has gone a perfect 8-0 against Excel recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Friday. The Admirals will host the Panthers at 7:00 p.m. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Bayside Academy has six straight victories, Excel has six straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
If Excel heads into halftime all tied up, they better play a good second half: that's when Bayside Academy took over last week. The Admirals took down Cottage Hill Christian Academy 25-7 on Friday.
Bayside Academy's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Davis Barnett led the charge by throwing for 266 yards and two touchdowns. Brennen Yamane helped Barnett out on the ground, rushing for 62 yards and one score, while also picking up 34 receiving yards.
Bayside Academy's defense stepped up as well, laying out Shamar Toodle three times. Billy Neill refused to say out of the backfield, picking up a sack all by himself. Bayside Academy got some further help from Monroe Partin: he forced one fumble, made 13 total tackles, and defended one pass.
Meanwhile, Excel's game on Friday was all tied up 7-7 at the half, but sadly for them it didn't stay that way. They fell 21-14 to T.R. Miller. While losing is never fun, the Panthers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Alabama football rankings (they are ranked 259th, while the Tigers are ranked 107th).
