Godwin Came Up Big in Wetumpka's 42-9 Win
Wetumpka picked up their fourth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Justin Godwin. Godwin was unstoppable, forcing a fumble, making 13 total tackles, and defending three passes.

Wetumpka pushed their record up to 5-3 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Godwin's next matchup is against Stanhope Elmore on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
