After two games on the road, Wayne County is heading back home. They will host the Perry Panthers at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Last Wednesday, Wayne County had to suffer through a 36-3 loss at the hands of Warner Robins. While losing is never fun, the Yellow Jackets can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 230th, while the Demons are ranked 32nd).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Perry). They blew past New Hampstead, posting an 80-47 victory at home. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three matchups by 31 points or more this season.
Ahmad Gordon continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 186 yards and three touchdowns on only 15 carries. With that strong performance, he is now averaging an impressive 102.2 rushing yards per game. Decorrion Daniels was another key player, gaining 146 total yards and three touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Perry was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 289 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as New Hampstead only rushed for 44.
Wayne County dropped their record down to 0-6 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight on the road dating back to last season. As for Perry, their win bumped their record up to 4-2.
