The North Miami Pioneers will venture away from home to challenge the University Titans at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
While Pioneers fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Friday's season opener. Everything went their way against Jackson on Friday as North Miami made off with a 32-12 win.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, North Miami was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 200 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 156 rushing yards in eight consecutive matchups dating back to last season.
One reason for the win was North Miami's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for seven sacks. Lewenski Ydore was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up fourhimself.
Meanwhile, University is still undefeated this season after their game against Mainland on Friday, but Mainland came as close as anyone has to beating them. University came out on top in a nail-biter against Mainland , sneaking past 31-28.
A big part of the victory came down to the chemistry between Malachi Walters and his top target Barrett Schulz. Walters threw for 175 yards and three touchdowns while Schulz picked up 127 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Jermane Hayes made the highlight reel by snagging an interception and taking it all the way to the house.
University wouldn't let Mainland keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. University can thank Mason Moore and Raymon Hunter for forcing all of them.
