Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Arickaree). They claimed a resounding 70-14 win over the Genoa-Hugo Pirates on the road. Considering the Bison have won five matches by more than 21 points this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Austin Wright was his usual excellent self, rushing for 337 yards and five touchdowns on only 15 carries, while also throwing for 35 yards and a touchdown. Arickaree is undefeated when Wright posts two or more rushing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Arickaree was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 481 rushing yards. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 95.2 rushing yards per game earlier this season, but in their last four matchups they've averaged 254.2.
Although Genoa-Hugo took the loss, they still got scores from Levi Yoder and Teghan Seymour.
The victory made it two in a row for Arickaree and bumps their season record up to 5-3. As for Genoa-Hugo, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-6.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Arickaree will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Cheraw at 1:00 p.m. on November 2nd. Genoa-Hugo also won't see the field for a while: their next game is against Hanover at 7:00 p.m. on November 1st.
