If Poteet wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Ennis, they should've done a better job of containing WENDERIUS JONES. The Lions walked away with a 29-22 victory over the Pirates on Thursday with plenty of help from JONES, who rushed for 154 yards and four scores. He is becoming a predictor of Ennis' success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 4-1 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
Ennis didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut KYLAN JOHNSON. Ennis got some further help from DAMION BAIZAR: he picked up two sacks and made 13 total tackles (5.0 for loss).
Several Pirates players turned in solid performances despite ultimately coming up short. Perhaps the best among those players was Dylan Davis, who rushed for 121 yards and one TD. Poteet also got help from Jaiden Wines, who showed off his sure hands for 116 receiving yards.
The win made it two in a row for Ennis and bumps their season record up to 5-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 35.5 points over those games. As for Poteet, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-6 record this season.
