Strother needs to shore up a defense that is allowing 34.45 points per game. They will face off against Regent Prep in a playoff matchup on Friday. Each of these teams will be battling to keep a win streak alive as Strother skips in on three wins and Regent Prep on 11.
The Yellowjackets earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing last Friday. They took their contest against Keota 28-20. Jaxon Douthit had a stellar game for Strother as he rushed for 167 yards and three TDs on 29 carries. If you haven't heard Douthit's name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in Strother's past six games.
Strother's defense was a presence as well, and it made life painful for the quarterback and got past Keota's offensive line for a total of five sacks. Leading the way was Enoch Cook and his two sacks.
Meanwhile, Regent Prep took their matchup with ease, bagging a 62-6 win over Yale. The margin was wide but not a surprise since Regent Prep is ranked far ahead of Yale in the MaxPreps rankings.
With both teams having displayed their playoff mettle, spectators can expect a high-quality game. Watch the contest and check back on MaxPreps.com for all the details.
