Wayne County had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They were outmatched by the Williamson Lions and fell 42-0. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the War Eagles of the 44-6 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in August of 2024.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Williamson to victory, but perhaps none more so than Todrick Withers, who rushed for 101 yards and one TD on only 13 carries, and also picked up 36 receiving yards. That's the most rushing yards Withers has posted since back in August of 2024. Another signal caller making a difference was Alvin Dinkins, who threw for 202 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only 19 passes.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Wayne County will face off against Leake Central at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Williamson, they will square off against Elberta at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. This will be the Lions' first chance to prove their worth in the conference.
