One of the most notable was Jeremiah Hubbard, who threw for 70 yards and two TDs, and also punched in one score on the ground. Eastern also got a significant boost from TayRon Burwell, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 96 yards.
Eastern's victory bumped their record up to 8-1. As for Dunbar, the win was their first at home , bumping their record up to 4-5.
Dunbar came out on top in a nail-biter against Eastern when the teams last played back in November of 2024, sneaking past 28-26. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Ramblers' Daquan Ginyard, who rushed for 217 yards while picking up 8.0 yards per carry. Now that he won't be playing on Thursday, will it be easier for the Crimson Tide to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
